Updates [11 May 2010]

Hi, Dean. See you're adding and making corrections. So glad you are able and willing to do it. Love the photos.--GayelKnott 00:15, 11 May 2010 (EDT)

Image Licensing [12 May 2010]

Hello, I am a volunteer admin and it's my job to help people learn the system. You asked for help licensing your images. I can't license your images but I can give your guidance. There are numerous licensing options, but most images fall into one of these categories:

• Original published in US before 1923
• Low resolution copy of an historical photograph. (When you reduce the image before upload, the resolution is reduced.)
• Snippet of historical document
• Work of US government--Public domain
• If you took the picture, select the CC-BY-SA
• If you know the photographer, get written permission.

Hope this helps. Please be aware that images left in the "Help needed" category for longer than two weeks will be deleted. If you have any more question please leave me a message. :)--sq 20:43, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

Next step: Review your GEDCOM [15 August 2011]

You're not done yet!

WeRelate is different from most family tree websites. By contributing to WeRelate you are helping to create Pando for genealogy, a free, unified family tree that combines the best information from all contributors.

Now that you have uploaded PEISKER-1893.ged, your next step is to review what your pages will look like, review any potential warnings, and combine (merge) people in your GEDCOM with matching people already on WeRelate. You need to review your GEDCOM before it can finish importing.

Note: if your gedcom contains many errors or multiple families, we’d ask that you resolve and correct the errors, delete this gedcom and re-submit it without the errors before merging it with families already on WeRelate. If the gedcom is very large, we’d suggest breaking it up into separate lines and importing them one at a time, which makes the review and correction process easier.

Click here to review your GEDCOM

Once you have finished your review and marked your GEDCOM Ready to import, one of our administrators will review your GEDCOM and finalize the import. This usually happens within 24 hours. You will receive a message here when the pages have been created.

Thanks for the Photo

Dean,
Many thanks for the James K. Jones family photo. This is the best photo of any one in the Jones family (that generation) that I've seen yet. I have an old, small snap shot of George, where all you can see is that he is sort of lanky and probably had long legs, but nothing of his face. I also have a few of some of George Jones' kids, will try to get them up a bit later. My Dad had more, but I think my step-mother threw them out.--GayelKnott 14:35, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

Wilson Jones [12 July 2015]

Hi, Dean. I think I've found who adopted Wilson Jones -- the parent's-in-law of Catherine's sister's husband. I'll put what little info I have on-line (I can only track him through 1895), then have another look. At least, it's nice to know he didn't disappear immediately. Gayel GayelKnott 16:56, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Good find.--Metro09 17:46, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

I am sitting her looking at the 1880 Census...and just amazed on the connection you made. I did find Nancy's death certificate online at:

http://s1.sos.mo.gov/records/archives/archivesdb/deathcertificates/

Her death certificate and findagrave indicate her birth was on 8 July (instead of 28 July) 1828...enough to update or is there something else conflicting?

Since she died in Missouri I was wondering if possibly Wilson/Willie may have possibly moved down there.--Metro09 22:50, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Dean, so glad you found her death certificate. I don't know why I didn't (didn't look??). The only conflict I see is my usual typo (some of which I can now blame on old age, although it worries me a bit.)

I couldn't find Wilson/Willie after 1885, but didn't do really serious searching. Like you, I wonder what Nancy was doing in Missouri - and could Wilson be there too? I have to admit, I've got so many projects going, I just can't justify another serious one. But I will go ahead and put Nancy's death certificate on line.

Thanks, Gayel ----

I was sort of hoping Willie Jones may have been listed as witness or something on her death certificate. No such luck.--Metro09 23:57, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Me, too. I think the witness is her grandson by daughter Lily (from a tree on Ancestry), another semi-orphan that she apparently adopted. He ended up as a coal miner, so there probably wasn't much support for her "orphans" once they got older. So, Wilson was probably stuck with trying to make his way pretty much on his own, which could make him that much harder to find. Sigh. Gayel ----
