Family talk:Daniel McCarty and Winifred Thornton (1)

Need for speculative husband template [27 May 2016]

Hi, Cos. I see you have added a second Daniel McCarty as a husband for Winifred Thornton. If it's not clear which Daniel McCarty is the correct husband, rather than putting both on the same Family Page, it would be better to take both off the page (leaving the page name intact), and both as Speculative Husbands. The Speculative Husband template would maintain the links to both men while removing the double husband Family page from the Duplicates list generated by the computer. Here is an example of a similar page I recently created to show what I'm talking about: Family:Jacob Leiter and Mary Kiefer (1). Thanks, Gayel--GayelKnott 14:52, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Gayel. Sometimes I wish there was a "breathing period" for pages involved in active research before they were flagged for admin attention. I have been doing Source work this week with the St. Paul Parish register. This "double spouse" is just temporary, as I finish the data entry. I had every intention of circling back and resolving the issue. I'm familiar with the template. I'm sorry that this took time away from your day. I'll circle back now. Best Wishes, --Cos1776 13:27, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks -- it is sometimes a problem, when you are in the middle of research. The explanation helps. Gayel --GayelKnott 14:50, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
