Re: Person:Thomas Plummer (5) and Person:Thomas Plummer (3) [13 April 2019]

[copied from User talk:GayelKnott] Gayel,

Please contact me at jstevens@lisco.com. I would like to talk about the first Thomas Plummer of Maryland, his son Thomas and their wives, Elizabeth. Elizabeth Smith who married the first Thomas was his contemporary and the mother of his son Thomas. She was born about 1646 and died about 1707.

I have just started working on their records at WeRelate so I still have some work to do to get these relationships squared away.

Can we talk?

Hi, Jim,

Yes, I can see you are working at sorting out the wives for the two Thomas Plummers. The best way to do that, though, is to create a new page for the Elizabeth who is the wife of the elder Thomas Plummer, rather than to try to attach the wife of the younger Thomas Plummer to his father as the father's wife. Doing the latter is a bit confusing for humans, and very confusing for the computer. If you attach the younger Thomas' wife to the elder Thomas, the computer thinks you have created duplicate pages, among other problems.

Along with creating a new page for the wife of the elder Thomas Plummer, if you feel it is appropriate to change the name of the wife of the younger Thomas Plummer, you can also do that. Keeping the two wives separate helps things from getting t0o confusing, for people and for the computer.

Good luck with your efforts to sort out these people.
