[add comment] [edit] ▼ Rinskje Gerbens Boersma [8 January 2013]Ouders: Gerben Sybrens Boersma en Grietje Pieters Dijkstra. Kind nr. 4 = Rinskje Boersma 24.10.1818 = double Kind nr. 5 = Rinskje Gerbens Boersma 24.10.1818 this is the right one to stay in the family. The 2 names were already there. Can you please remove child nr. 4 - I really don't know how, sorry. Looked at comparing, looked at speedy delete, but none of the instructions are clear to me. Maybe you can explain to me exactly how this removal works? Thank you Jenifer, kind regards..--Beatrijs 00:48, 4 January 2013 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] ▼ Assertions Suggestion [13 January 2013]I saw you on the watch list for this suggestion, but I just wanted to let you know that it seems to be approaching a state of initial readiness. While Robert.shaw and I have taken the view that its legitimate to make use these on an experimental/demonstration basis without any special consent, the value in these would really come from them being a community standard. Please let us know if there's a procedure to follow moving forward. Thanks! --jrm03063 16:01, 6 January 2013 (EST)
There are a few ideas for moving forward with making the Assertions a community standard. The first would be to come up with a plan for moving the text/examples to an appropriate Help page. Do you think it should be a standalone page, or included on another Help page, where do you think it should be placed? Secondly, you & your team could bring this up on the Watercooler informing users of the new features that are available for use. You could also mention that if users have questions about the new templates, they could post on the "insert title of" new Help page. How does that sound to you? --Jennifer (JBS66) 13:45, 13 January 2013 (EST)
[add comment] [edit] ▼ family Pieter Vogelzang en Reinouw Bil [8 January 2013]Good morning Jennifer, would you mind having a look at the children of the above couple. They seem to be all entered twice: once without patronym and once with the patronym. I followed up the ones with a patronym and hope that you can remove the doubles. Thanks so much, kind regards from--Beatrijs 18:54, 7 January 2013 (EST)
Thanks Jennifer, there is still one child to be merged: see Gatske (Gaatske) Pytters Vogelsang into Gatske Pieters Vogelzang. I think that she is the last one :-) I tried to compare Gatske, but after entering both names, it says: pages not found. I must do something wrong here, because both names do exist. Ok somehow I succeeded, but now it seems that I have duplicate parents. I compared them, checked all the relevant boxes, but when I wanted to merge them, it said: check "match" under the family name. Where is that supposed to be done? Thanks Jennifer.
Thank you kindly! I am still looking for their marriage as well.

[add comment] [edit] ▼ merging marriage events [1 February 2013]Is it possible to merge marriage pages? Or do I have to request a speedy delete to remove an incorrect marriage?

Renee, yes, you can merge Family pages. There are a couple of ways to do this: Click on More>Find Duplicates from the family page. If a Person page displays both sets of duplicate parents (like after a merge of an individual), you can go to More>Compare Parents. I find the easiest way is to go to Admin>Compare pages and enter each page title into the fields. --Jennifer (JBS66) 14:44, 1 February 2013 (EST) [add comment] [edit] ▼ import Gedcom [2 February 2013]Hi Jennifer Iam trying to upload a gedcom repairing the errors, but the only thing that happens is that the warning level rises.

[18 February 2013]Dear Jennifer, I hope you are well. After having removed my tree some time ago, I noticed uploaded photos had not disappeared. There was one photo called "Van Ophem-Wassenberg 50 jaar kinderen partners kleinkinderen vijfhuizerdijk" on the page of which I specified all or almost all the names of the people shown. My grandmother (87) managed to remember these. Unfortunately I found out that the photos were removed later and I do not have a copy of the list of names. Do you know if any back up copy of the relevant WR page may exist? Do you think that an administrator could look this up? Many thanks.--Govegus 16:00, 18 February 2013 (EST)

I was looking for something else and I found a ton of them, I thought I might help a little. I am working on some other things or I might volunteer for that project. Generally speaking though, isnt the burden of proof (that a person isnt living) on the person whos page it is?

In the meantime I have found info that she went from Leeuwarden to Haarlem on the 18th of March 1890 and I know that she arrived there on the 20th. But I do not know waht she did after the 20th so my search will go on. --BenS 11:06, 15 March 2013 (EDT)

[add comment] [edit] ▼ Your message on my page of 9 March 2013 [22 March 2013]I apologize for not seeing and responding in a timely way to your message of 9 Mar 2013. I think I have responded to the matter at hand there and elsewhere, and at length. Please advise if you continue to hold those views respecting my efforts, as I think they are, at best, incorrect. When I have the opportunity, I plan to re-write that suggestion to reflect my current practices so that the discussion can move forward for purposes of periods before about 1400, by which time I think practice is settled. I do not expect the rewrite to touch upon the area of patronyms generally - inclusion of such in the original suggestion was an after thought. I assure you that, unlike the medieval spaces where I have modest interest, I have ZERO interest in patronymics outside the medieval period. Beyond that, I would only reiterate that the suggestion I offered was in an attempt to figure out what a reasonable practice might be. I am now, and was then, very glad to hear responses that guide the discussion usefully. I do not have any personal investment in any particular practice, other than having a desire for there to actually be a practice, so that I can have some hope of working in my wide area of interest without causing offense. I find it ironic in the extreme, that my effort to engage discussion on practice and experiment with developing such would - itself - seem to have given offense. Strange. --jrm03063 11:39, 22 March 2013 (EDT)

It helps.--Werebear 19:23, 22 March 2013 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] ▼ Since you've mentioned it, there is something you could do... [25 March 2013]I think an important part of what happened in my situation was that I relied on werelate-specific software behavior (the automatic addition of categories) as reflecting considered policy - in particular - the definition of a surname. I mean, someone had to go out of their way to add that behavior to media wiki, so it would be weird if one were true but not the other. While you did mention - after more than a little while - that the oversight committee might address this - you offered no certainty regarding the outcome and less regarding the time frame. Meanwhile, other members of the community had seized upon my remarks as some sort of cultural inflexibility/insensitivity. I shifted my perspective pretty quickly after that - but a number of folks never seemed to get that. The most helpful thing that you could do then, is to get the oversight committee to meet sometime soon on this matter, and choose one of the following statements as best representing reality, and publish THAT on the watercooler:
I would request that you do not attempt to create a policy, unless such a policy already exists. My present, painfully acquired understanding, is that there is no policy. I do hope that will be my last surprise on this. Perhaps others can be spared that experience? For my part, I'm pretty sure that I can make progress regardless of what you do with the matter above, but you did want to help. --jrm03063 19:25, 24 March 2013 (EDT)

My english is very very bad. I am searching a community genealogy site since 10 years. I need a website as WeRelate. The big problem is the language, for me and many french speaking genealogists. I began my genealogy in 1988 and I am using "Brother's Keeper" since 1992. I was seduced by "Rodovid" and worked really a lot of time since June 2008. But I gave up : The site get better very (too) slowly and a french user - who ignored really all in genealogy - became an administrator. He is playing the dictator. He deleted a lot of contributions of users who prouved that his remarks and modifications were very stupid. WeRelate works exactly as Wikipedia and ... Rodovid. I think, it's possible to give WeRelate french pages. It will take many time, indeed. We need only to modify/complete this page. I modified/translated the same page on Rodovid.

Arkel, Hoogstede, Emlichheim, Graftschaft Bentheim, Niedersachsen, Germany seems to contain way too many levels. In the U.S. for example, a hamlet may be in the jurisdiction of another town, but we would not title a page Hamlet, Town, County, State, United States. We keep the U.S. to 4 levels and do Hamlet, County, State, United States. According to Place:Germany: "The goal at WeRelate is to title German places as they were around 1900:
Arkel, Emlichheim, Niedersachsen, Germany ? --henk 14:09, 16 April 2013 (EDT)
Arkel, Hannover, Preußen, Germany it will be! ( In 1900 it was Hannover from 1866-1946) [2] --henk 14:32, 16 April 2013 (EDT)
Sleep a night. I think the best is just as in Hungary / Slovakia. First make the two pages and geological location at a later time all at the same succession in 1900 to convert to these pages. In the time between the pages can be linked as, Also located in or see also. It is otherwise too difficult for other users to expect them to perform well in the places. As in France, the rough classification are ignored.
and
In 1900 there wasn't a country called Germany it was "the German Reich" with the kingdom of Prussia as largest country. We can do it the right way without Germany, because it was not international accepted, but that can give confusion --henk 08:07, 17 April 2013 (EDT) see Place:Germanyor [3] [add comment] [edit] ▼ Other languages ... my big hope [6 May 2013]Jennifer !

[add comment] [edit] ▼ Old print from Friesland area [22 May 2013]Jennifer, Both of my parents passed away in the last 9 months. Going through their things we found an old framed print that my sister took it to be appraised and was told it was done in the Netherlands, probably by a Dutch artist about 1870. This fits with my fathers grandfathers family's emigration to the US. I am new to this genealogy world and not familiar with the Netherlands at all. Friesland and Groningen are the location names I am running into on birth and marriage certificates. My Great, Great Grandfather Jacob van der laan came to the US with his wife (Fettje Poelstra) and 2 daughters (Pieterke and Grietje) around 1870. My Great Grandfather Brugt (Frank) VanderLaan was born in Michigan in 1875. We have not been able to identify the place in the picture or the artist. Are you familiar with that area, and or do you read Dutch to be able to figure out the signature if I send you a picture? If not, do you have any contacts in that area that may be able to help?

[add comment] [edit] ▼ renaming [25 May 2013]Hi Jennifer, I was more or less aware of the general rule. Not of its strictness. I try to adjust to it as goos as possible. Generally, it is not problematic. But sometimes it is... The change from patronym to surname was not a sudden one. In the case of Schokland that I'm working on, it was gradual, from about 1750 to about 1850. For individuals it was also not the case that they started using a surname after a certain point in time. Sometimes it was used and sometimes it wasn't. In secondary sources concerning Schokland you will therfore see the use of patronym and surname. An additional reason is that the use of only given + surname or only given name + patronym is not enough for identification and recognition. I've also experienced this myself in searching in WR. So... I will apply to the rule (one plays along with the system or not...) But I would also like to ask WR to reconsider this rule. kind regards, Edwin--Bronquest 15:33, 24 May 2013 (EDT)

[add comment] [edit] ▼ Family Pages [23 jun 2013]I think I've inadvertently messed up a family page. Would you kindly take a look at Josephus Kuyper and Cornelia Keuzenkamp? I started out with the page named as I just gave you. After saving it, I clicked on "rename" and changed it to Josephus Cornelius Hurbertus de Kuyper and Cornelia Keuzenkamp. The blue section didn't change, but the one at the top of the page did. Not until I edited Josephus' person page did the blue section of the family page change. In this case, I set up Josephus' family page before his person page. Sorry for the long-winded description....--Frank 21:46, 22 June 2013 (EDT) Thought I'd figured it out when the next family page came out looking good.

[add comment] [edit] ▼ all of the surname cats will be deleted soon [23 jun 2013]removing cats because all of the surname cats will be deleted soon Jennifer, ik denk dat je je vergist. Je vertelde dat de automatische gemaakte categorieën zullen verdwijnen. Mensen vullen de namen bij de foto's niet in omdat ze de foto op een eigen bedacht formaat en plaats willen gebruiken. Dus zullen deze foto's met de hand moeten worden gecategoriseerd. Met de hand gemaakte categorieën zullen niet verdwijnen deze categorieën komen niet leeg. Jennifer, I think you're wrong. You said that the automatic categories made will disappear. People fill the names in the pictures not because they want to use the photo on its own invented format and position So these photos are categorized by hand. The categories handmade will not disappear these categories are not empty. Mvg,--Lidewij 11:57, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
Bij vele foto staat geen enkele naam en de foto zelf heeft een nummercode, deze foto’s zullen nergens worden gevonden. Alleen bij toeval op een pagina. Ook deze pagina’s Surname:Mol vindt je niet snel. By many photos is no name and photograph has a number code, these photos will never be found. Only by chance on a page. These pages Surname: Mol do not find you soon.
I Know this. I say, not soon.
Er zijn pagina’s die enkel een plaats aanduiding hebben, sommige pagina’s niets, enkel een verkeerde licentie Zoals foto zelf gemaakt omstreeks 1880. There are pages that just have a place designation, some pages not, only a false license as picture homemade 1880s' [add comment] [edit] ▼ Gedcom of 20 05 2013 [24 June 2013]Dear Jennifer Did you talk with Dallan about making the return download of my uploaded Gedcom of 20 05 2013 ?

It has been a long time! You helped me so much with my granddad Walterus (walter) Brouwers (Brower, browers). But i thought it became an end. In Holland there was nothing to find no more. So i went on with other persons from my familytree. Here I learned that you find much more of a person with a "persoonskaart" distributed by het centraal bureau voor de genealogie (www.cbg.nl) As example my uncle Jacques(father of the writer Jeroen Brouwers). On the persoonskaart information of all his children (5 kids!) and the places where he lived, professions and marriage. These cards are to have from persons who died after the year 1939 and the dying must be in Holland Now my thought; Is there something like this in the U.S.?? If yes, then there is probably more to find of the two woman my granddad lived with in the U.S. Marie Leonhardt and Nina Evelina Derber. I hope you can boost my search to granddad Walterus!!

There are several subsequent messages that are visible when editing the page, but not when simply displaying it.

Regarding Image:HuwelijksAkte1891 Boschker x Spikkers.jpg, it appears that you added it properly to the family page Family:Bernard Boschker and Geertruida Spikkers (1). There is a small bug with image uploads that first you need to upload the image, then attach it to a page. You attach it to a page by clicking Edit on the Image, and enter the page name (not the URL) into the Person page or Family page fields. Note, the page name is in bold black letters at the top and begins with Person: or Family: You also added the Persoonskaart properly to Person:Aleida Boschker (1). Regarding copyright, are there copyright laws in the Netherlands about posting certificates or family cards? You may just be able to say "Attribution required" and cite the archief where the document was from. Most of the birth/marriage/death certificates are available through FamilySearch, so we tend to just cite the year, place, and certificate number rather than uploading images. Of course you can upload them if you wish - it just makes for a lot of work :) --Jennifer (JBS66) 14:43, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Jennifer, It is not as simple as you indicate in the example of that DBT book. To avoid misunderstandings, I just come with this message. There was in the period before the Batavian Republic (1796) no freedom in religion. In that region was the Roman Catholic Church prohibited. It was not baptized Roman Catholic in churches in the region. This baptism notes are a mix of many sources. There was baptized in houses, farms, etc., also in Germany. It is not to group under one location / place. The source thought I note as proposed. Groet, --Lidewij 09:05, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
the discriminator is now near the end of the source, so i need to copy and paste the whole entry. it would certainly help if find/all could handle regular expressions (regexp) so that for example I can type "*harreveld*" and it would come up immediately with the right list. for Lichtenvoorde alone (also located in Gelderland, Netherlands) there are 8 different source files (PDF) for the parish of "Harreveld en Zieuwent" there are six.--woepwoep 17:26, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Klaas, het ging bij de lange-naam helemaal niet over een bron van de Doop- trouw- en begraafboeken. Het ging over een name-lijst gemaakt van die boeken, omdat de verschillende boekjes en losse?-bladeren van dat gebied in een map (en dus een film) waren gestopt. Lichtenvoorde was niet katholiek. Er waren wel katholieken die zich protestant lieten dopen en trouwen zoals de Staat het wenste. (het is bekent dat het stiekem ook nog katholiek gebeurde)

This was the very important point of conflict on Rodovid, almost 2 years long ! Each contributor have the right to read at each time (always) what he wrote and where (at the right original place). It's for me and others the basis princip of a wiki ... naturally if the messages are without apology of violence, pornography, etc ... and without vulgarity, without provocation ! A user-talk-page is not a private page ! It's for all the community of contributors ! The rule of a wiki is "traceability" ! The talk-pages have to be preserved, even if a problem is now solved ! I saw also that an administrator (Jrm03063) deleted all his talk page before April 2013. I don't understand User talk:Jrm03063 ... why ?
