Person talk:John Cissell (1)

Errors on this person's page [15 July 2022]

I'm sorry if I sound like a presumptuous newcomer, but there are several significant errors on this page. John Cissell is an ancestor of mine, and of other serious researchers I know. The information on this page re John's middle name and parents is widely repeated on the internet but is absolutely not true. For more information, please see his profile on WikiTree (Cissell-14), where I contributed to the extensive analysis.

I see that this profile has only one Watcher, who apparently is its creator. Please contact me if you have objections; otherwise I will come back to this profile and correct the errors and add a biography and documentation.--Julie Kelts 19:35, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Julie, hope you don't mind that I jumped in to demonstrate some common formatting for citing sources here. Sometimes it is easier to give an example, rather than trying to explain the steps.

I also wanted to let you know that you can feel free to be bold with your edits, as long as you are also adding sources to back up your changes. There should be no objections if you are improving the page with sources. This is especially true for a Person page like this one, where there hasn't been any activity since the original poster created it in 2009 by uploading a GEDCOM of his Ancestry.com tree as the only source.

To see if people are actively working on the page, you can review the History (Left menu on the Person page, not this Talk page).

In addition to the Will abstract, I added his FSFT id. Feel free to do that for his WT page as well, if you think it is a good, reliable source of further reading. As a courtesy, we generally recommend providing links to free access research sites vs. those behind paywalls.

Oh, I see. Thank you for doing that. Of course I don't mind. I know I don't own the profile! Yes, I would like to add the WikiTree link, and I will do that next. I wasn't sure if that was acceptable.--Julie Kelts 21:37, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
