Thank you for your help Curators!! Tree fixed!!! You Rock!!

Hatte Rubenstein Blejer Oh yes, I am very familiar with and have been a part of the Allen project. I just hadn't formally joined yet. So thanks for giving me a nudge. I just stumbled on to this most recent Allen mishap when I showed up as being related to St. Patrick through Ralph and Esther Swift! I knew that wasn't right.

Thanks Erica Howton

We're NOT related to St Patrick ? Be still my heart ...

Hatte - Leslie cracked the case of NOT Katherine Starkes through the Lpndon Livery rolls, it was a totally awesome genealogy moment.

Laura - great news! That poor undead person of 1714, I felt bad for him.

We're all related to Saint Patrick of Ireland. Especially today of all days. If you can't prove it, we'll still let you in as an honorary cousin.

Cool Private and Erica Howton. I was very impressed with the work in the Allen Family Project to date. There were a lot of hard problems, including NOT Katherine Starkes.

I AM related to St. Patrick in fact.

Funny Justin!

BTW, I am curious, how is it I can't find info on someone from the 1700's yet, one of my randomly merged trees goes all the back to year 398, yes..year 398, with a picture of some ugly bearded hairy guy??

How is this info/ picture verified/ validated/ for real??? How do we know it is true?

I read somewhere that genealogy is more about vanity than reality :o))

Laura, I'm not an authority on procuring photos before photography. I'm assuming someone has a time machine. Or maybe we have some psychics in our midst. Either way, if we find them I get first dibs on using them to help with my tree ;)

http://www.geni.com/path/Michael+P+McCann+is+related+to+Patrick+mac... 21st great uncle's great grandfather's wife's second great grandfather's wife's brother!

Faustine Darsey I belive that letter written by your ancestor was to his chidren.. I am still trying to figure it out.. I think it's to his daugther. I could be wrong though.. I can make out the death year 1857 and I think dau (daugther?) any one else want to try and help me out? I am good at a lot of things but cursive comprehesion NOT so much!!

Thank you Justin..I think I will have to include the picture in the family album; .after all he is my 50th ggrandfather..Some Clovis dude..should have named one of my sons after him....Now THAT would be a story.

Private, Thanks Michael for taking a look at it. Peter Kiltz died July 10, 1857, not long after the note was written. I am texting a friend, Hatte. (Like Phone A Friend).

Hatte Rubenstein Blejer, I came across the little note in German that my gg grandfather wrote in 1857. I mentioned it to you a couple of years ago. Would you take a look? I am looking for someone who can read Old German. Thanks so much, Faustine

Clovis Furlong. That has a nice ring to it. Or maybe Clovis Point Furlong. No, wait. That's something different ;)

Thank you, Eldon. It always helps to know how to do things correctly.

Funny again Justin, you are on a roll this Merry St. Paddy's Day!!

Faustine Gail Humphris, I have been trying to read that note. The old German scripts are tough for me. I did, however, locate something that shows the Kurrentschrift alphabet and something else for the Sütterlinschrift alphabet which is a little simplified compared to the Kurrentschrift. Still trying to figure out certain letters (mostly capital letters). If I can get those letters, then I'll at least have the German words, and can attempt translation.

Michael Thomas Brown, Thanks so much. I appreciate your time.

I have several questions!

1) Sometimes, I don,t see the relations tab if I edit a profile
2) Person is died but in edit, there is no choice
Isaak Abraham van Zwanenberg
3) A tree with lot of profiles is complete changed as manager without to inform the person that add all the profiles!
4) What is the advantage to be a manager over a profile?

VERY VERY Bad-Merge!

John Justice, of Charles City & Augusta

Unfortunately this profile appears to be a fusion of at least three completely different John Justices.

1. John Justice of Rhode Island, who married Mary (Unknown) in Rhode Island and [may have] later moved to NC.

WILLIAM1 GREENE was born 1725 in Rhode Island, and died Bet. 1770 - 1771. He married NANCY JUSTICE Abt. 1749 [in NC], daughter of JOHN JUSTICE and MARY Unknown. She was born Bef. 1750 in Rhode Island, and died Abt. 1780 in Tyron, NC.

Children of WILLIAM GREENE and NANCY JUSTICE are:

i. Jarvis2 Greene, b. Abt. 1750; d. August 19, 1782, Blue Licks, Licking River, KY.
ii. Mary Greene, b. January 1755, Anson, NC; d. August 12, 1827, Alton, Madison, IL.
iii. George Greene, b. Bet. 1755 - 1760, Anson, NC; d. July 25, 1834, Clary's Grove, Menard, Co., IL.
iv. Esther Greene, b. Abt. 1757, NC.
v. James Greene, b. Abt. 1767, NC; d. May 1821, Bond Co., Mills Township, IL.
vi. Nancy Greene, b. February 06, 1768, Ruth, NC; d. 1856, Petersburg, Menard Co., IL.
vii. child Greene, b. February 06, 1770, NC.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. John Justice Jr. of Charles City County, VA. Presumed son of John (or maybe Justinian) Justice and Mary (birth name unknown - she later married a Wade). Last recorded selling property in Augusta County, VA in 1754 (during the French and Indian War). Documentation sketchy at best. No reliable record of a wife or any descendants.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. John Justice Sr. of Plymouth County, MA. Married Mary Moore, from Ireland, and moved down to western Halifax (later Pittsylvania) County, VA, with his whole family and possibly some Moore relatives circa 1750. His descendants are reasonably well documented, and for a long time he was believed to be the same as #2 above - until the Massachusetts records were cross-checked.

I'll take question 2) & 4) (which is 1/2 of 1)

2) Actions menu > report > deceased ... OK, I see that has already been done. I will open a ticket for Geni Customer Service.

4) manager of a profile gives you full edit rights, collaboration gives edit rights but only for the fields under revision control

For question 3) best to post a link so we can look / see

Erica,
Thanks for the fast reply.
Relating question 4, I want to do this only in a private mail to you.
Not public!

Feel free to send a Geni mail

Re: making profiles public. I am trying to go through the profiles of recently added branches to make profiles public. I don't see an option though for making my wife's 4th great grandmother a public profile. She's long dead. Is there a way I can do this?

Faige Feige Feldman

Private User You will need to ask one of the managers to do it

Faustine Darsey - I can't make out much of the note, between the old fashioned handwriting and my rusty German! We do have others here whose German is much better than mine, even native, and I'll ask them to help.
