 Good morning and welcome to the Saturday morning live cast with wiki tree. We're going to round up the week that was at wiki tree. And this morning Greg has morphed into Sandy Paddock. Right. Did you bring anything special this morning? My personal chef make a batch this morning. He's a good one. I like that. My personal chef. After 25 years, you know. What did you bring for Sandy today? What's that beautiful mug? There we go. Betsy co-host. For Chicago and it has all the Chicago neighborhoods listed on it. I'm going to start with some cool mugs for the locations. I need to go to the airport and see if they have any yowl. But they wouldn't say chai. Yours doesn't say ord. Ord is the ord. I do have extra coffee and my Appalachian mug. It is Saturday morning the 23rd of March and we're having too much fun already. Greg is off playing all day long somewhere and he's singing of a Maria. Maybe he'll sing it for us. Maybe at one of the hangouts. He and I sang some but I don't think we sang it live. Nice You had a pen in your hand? Pen? I had a pen in my hand. A pen? There she goes. This gets sent out. Project manager gave this to me. We've got Amanda from Melbourne, Australia. She wins the winky button for being the first here. You don't get anything even though we're showing off our t-shirts. I'm going to show you. Judy Stutz is here. Ringo McCoy, Audrey Martin and Judith Fry Donna Gerber from Drury in south east Pennsylvania. The weather here is snow. What about you Betsy? It is cold and snow. It is warm. I said something about Cindy Engel is doing a virtual talk for the Georgia genealogical society. I said what is wrong with you Cindy? You should be in Georgia right now. Do you know how beautiful it is? Somebody said no and they posted a picture of a pine tree falling over. I thought that was funny. Let's see. Murray Maloney is here. Vicki Bianco here. Mary Sleppy. Let's see. I had a weird dream this week. Mary made me think of it. I had a really fun dream. I've been having some crazy dreams here lately. The dream was that there was a wiki tree gathering. It was nobody there but wiki trees. We were all dressed in orange walking around talking and having fun eating. It was at a beachside resort. I didn't see any mankinis. Thank you. We just had a great time. There was this cheer that we would do. At the end of the cheer we did the touchdown. The wiki tree. The wiki tree. Touchdown. The first witness in chat. Maybe he can make that happen. Nice. We are all together. I know. The wiki tree gathering. D-Spencer car is here. Lisa Dervais is right up the street. Sorry.

I want to see Melanie dress up as a leprechaun. Just once. Vicky Bianca is here. Ringo McCoy already said good morning to you. Patty LaPlatt. Patty LaPage. Isn't that the singer? Patty LaPage. If you're done for sun dunes and salty air. Anyway. Christine Miller. Chef. Chief. Family genealogy officer. Let's see. Tree climber. There's lots of people. Chris Wine. Anthony McCom. All right. I have one started comment. Judy Stutz said there's a recent news story article about the ghost army getting congressional medals. If you don't know what the ghost army is there's a really cool page a really cool article on the AP. These are fake cardboard tanks and stuff. It's really cool. They set up decoys so the Germans would think they were going this way instead of that way. It's really cool. Radio trickery, costume uniforms and acting. Military units that became known as the ghost army outwitted the enemy during World War II. Their mission was kept secret for decades but on Thursday the group stepped out of the shadows as they were awarded a national gold medal at a ceremony in Washington. If you're interested in checking that out just google ghost army and you'll see that. I thought that was a cool thing. Thank you Judy for bringing that to our bringing us to our senses. There's no thumb that are so alive so that's really cool. Yeah that's cool. The next question I have is Betsy Koh do you have any female ancestors or favorites? Of course. I think my maternal grandmother who I didn't get to know we missed each other by 10 years but I heard so much about her from my mother and my aunt that I feel like I know her and yeah special lady. Special lady what about you Sandy? This tough isn't it Betsy to answer. My maternal grandmother taught me how to cook kind of make biscuits taught me everything I know about cooking but it's actually my great great great grandmother who could only sign an X and she fought for 15 years to get property in West Virginia because her husband bought the war of 1812 and had to pay for that didn't have money and that is how my family owned a beautiful piece of land on the Elk River in West Virginia and became West Virginians. So are you do you guys still have that property up there? Too bad. They sold it to resort and that's funny now we're talking about yeah we were just talking about Sandy's been riding around up in my neck of the woods in North Georgia looking for places to build a cabin and I just told her that the land that is was a part of the Dillard property where the Dillard house used is I guess I don't know if it's still operating or not if it's sold but it has been sold to a developer and that property is going to be developed we announced that Margaret Dillard announced that in the Dillard Family Association Facebook group the other day so that's interesting because that's where we always had our reunion so I mean that's your stopping grounds you know we're family yeah that's fun who's your favorite female you know I don't know that I really um I really haven't thought about it because I was so fascinated with everybody else but um the one that I work on the most is probably my grandmother because she had such an unusual story um and the fact that she never got um she was never she never proved to her family that she was who she was so even as I started researching they said she's not a part of the family she was left on the doorstep and I was able to prove through DNA that she absolutely was a part of the family but it's interesting um that would probably be my first choice just for today but I've got others back back when so that's fun so the question of the week is who is your one of your favorite ancestors and I'm going to do something a little bit different today I'm going to visit a couple of these profiles that were listed now if you want to go through and read some of these incredible stories do it do it do it do it um but I'm going to tackle just a couple here and actually go to the um there's a question there's one that's picked best and I'll wait for that one for last but let's go and let's look at Alice we're first so when I looked at the the profile I checked I clicked on the profile link and I looked at it and there wasn't there there was stuff on there but it was really just about the kids and as a gdg integrator one of the things that that they do and that that I do when I have time to do it is I will take information that is posted about a person's profile and try and add it to the profile or you know make a comment about it if there's research that's needed that's shown in gdg I try and add a research section so you can do it so the integrators are trying to take some of the information that happens in that gdg post and add it to the profile and if it's sourced and if there's information you can add it directly to the profile with those sources or just add it to research now so I'm going to show you really quickly now this is not an attempt to um to say that Em did a bad job with this profile this is a an attempt to show that she did a really great job with this profile but she has more to add so what I've done is this is her the original um wait is that the original note oh I don't have the original up there I thought I did wait a second no I don't so what I did was I took the information that she had and I incorporated it into this wonderful profile that Em Ross has done so she has just she was born elsewhere was born in 1825 in county Ross Ross coming I don't know how they would say it in Ireland uh to and she was married to Martin Sheridan she's got it marriage date of 1839 in Ross coming Ireland and they've got the kids all listed here and I don't do the kids the children like Greg does I like to see it all kind of like in the same place um but she had Ross common uh she was born there uh and she had eight children with her husband uh and the eight children born to Alice where Martin Sheridan she goes through and she mentions that there were some born in Ross common and then the family moved to Newcastle under lime uh and one of the things that she says in the gdg post is she actually writes that up that the family moved uh and she talks about how the children were born at different times so I've taken some of this verbiage that she had in her gdg post and I've added it in to some of the information that she had um and I kind of reformatted how the children are listed so that it was a little bit easier for readability um and then I took the information about the family moving and why they moved the potato famine was at its height uh that wasn't on the private profile before that was in the gdg post and she um had a comment already that said there could have been more children so I left that in there but I just added that uh to the family she also had in the gdg post an interesting comment about them living in something called a back to back house and it she says it's one of the cheapest in most miserable places to live and the minute I saw this I went to the article that she linked in gdg and I can remember seeing old black and white film of the bombings in London and it was all of the every one of them seemed to be this type of house you know I guess they're an easy target for aircraft to see and it said that that the windows are only on the front um and you can see that the house behind the house that's in the picture has been updated it has new windows and more windows so that's interesting but just think how skinny that house was that's the whole width of the house and if you were interior you had even less so that's pretty cool and obviously somebody's added a dormer up here to this and there are other dormers that you can see these places are still lived in obviously and people are updating them to make them better than they were but so she had this great link in her gdg post about the back to back houses and then she had a comment that must have taken a lot of courage to make the move to England with no money and a family but they probably had no choice so she had that in the gdg post and I moved that over so now um she had a bunch of information about the kids and stuff but really nothing else so what I did is I took the gdg information and I embellished what she had written in the gdg post and added it to the profile to make it look and sound and feel and read a lot better and then she says also that there may have been other children born and I just added there you know more research is needed to confirm this possibility she has great sources down here all lined up pretty nice and so you know what I'm going to leave her a comment and just say great profile if I could spell if I could type I would be dangerous great profile you just showed a really really good thing to do for a biography you don't have a lot of details for a biography but you know that there's details on the city or the house add that to the biography yeah and to beef it up so I just did that for her but I also when I was working on it I left her a note saying I was doing it because I'm a good wiki trier and I also really mentioned the question of the week when I was doing the update for the saving to let her know that that's why I was changing the profile so now she has a little thing there so my question is I'm not related to her or is anybody related to weird 396 in the chat yeah thank you Melanie McComb that was an Irish accent yeah so that's what the integrators do they integrate stuff that we see touchdown wave ah excuse me alright Mary slip Mason that's funny back to back house Mason there let's say I have a ton of admiration for women who have been integrated to the US for better life so there's lots of great comments are any of you related to her I'm absolutely not I'm like 30 no 29 wow wow alright let's go to the next one let's bring up the next one this one is Charity Lewis now I did not make any changes to her profile but I could I haven't done it yet but I could finish so cherry I went through it last night and I decided this is the way I was going to do it so look we've got 26 degrees Melanie is 30 8 p.m. 1726 Ringo McCoy 28 so there are some people in here that I forgot to answer but Leger 1977 my great aunt or Leger or I don't know how you pronounce it but Jean will have to find that so there's stuff in this one that I didn't have but let's check out this profile just for fun so this is Lewis 35 205 35205 are you related to them so and here's the my first thing was I live in Upper Canada or what was Upper Canada but I've never heard of Sophia's bird so the very first thing I did is I went up to her birth and I clicked on the icon for the map where Sophia's bird is and here it is right there it's very near Kingston so Sophia bird is going to be right smack underneath the middle of the line of the eclipse on April the 8th that's pretty cool so this is the best place in the world to see it right here and Greg is up here somewhere and I'm over here but this family if I had had the time I would have done a map showing all the places that this family live because they went up here they were doing mining they went all the way up here they were working timber it seems they went they followed the same pattern that I know a lot of people followed for people who were in the timber industry up here and then they were down here in Hastings so they moved all over the place to follow their their interesting labor force so the timber industry was huge and mining was also big not so much here is out west or out east down east but look at the picture so this is Lydia Burley Walter and Charity Lewis so Charity Lewis is the older lady over here and this is her daughter now there is something that is pretty obvious in this is that they have very dark skin and it is really not mentioned in the basic biography of her but when you come down here to the research notes Nagel let's see if I remember her name Lorraine Nagel actually wrote up a story about the family addressing their presentation of how they look and the whole thing in the family was whether or not they had indigenous and so they've done work to to figure out whether they had indigenous ancestors so there's a really cool story here and a comment about this and how they've gone through and they looked at the information for the family that they know of and it is absolutely Danish and American and that she needs to have a UE because her family were United Empire loyalists who escaped from the United States or fled the United States at the end of the Revolutionary War so that's somebody we need to look at for those in the Canada project that are watching it does say that her family were loyalists Sandy, somebody we've got some people who are saying they're related, APM, Melanie, you're not using new cousin for you, Judy. Oh there you go let's see she's 16 for me so that's great mags if you know how to do it. Are you talking about the integrators how to take information, join the integrators project and get the information for the project. They will tell you how to do the kind of work that I just did. That's one of my favorite things to do is to follow GDG and to try and upgrade a profile that I see where there's been information at it but also you got to be careful to let them know that what you're doing and that you're not messing up the profile you're adding to it or embellishing it. Let's see Ringo McCoy and Indian grandmother it is a legend until proven yes absolutely a legend until proven and they disproved it basically is what the little research notes say so that's good adding a map to show where they live mags yeah yeah I wanted to do that but I didn't have enough time to finish it so that's cool 18 so I have one more to show and then I'm gonna turn it over guess who guess who's Greg today like that's who doesn't have to keep track of the answers in chat. We're not playing the game y'all did not let me know that last time it's a lot of work to do our stuff and play Greg's game I think the host should be let out of that no no let's have a vote while he's not here it does kind of make you go cross-eyed right he's not here we can blame everything on him okay so the next profile is Jesse Fatima Colton she's from Henry Marshall Illinois is that close to you? Betsy Coe? what is it Henry? Henry Marshall Illinois no it's not must be downstate well let's look and see real quick just for fun oh I'm 10 away from her interesting which means mags you must be close southwest of the city they're right here and yeah so she's not there so she's got a nice profile here some DNA connections I didn't even notice seeing I should whether there are DNA connections on the other one great biography oh my goodness this should be a profile of the week and are you related? it's Colton58 C-U-L-T-O-N-5 8 she's my 10th cousin 5 times removed or my 14th great or we share a great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother so it's a great profile too so let's wander on down so she was a journalist a newspaper editor in Richmond Indiana and a pioneer resident and rancher in Garden Grove Orange County California which is cool she was born on Valentine's Day in Henry Illinois her father J.D.O.D. was forwarding her mother Catherine were 32 two brothers so she met her life partner Adele Charters while they were at school soon after graduating in the death of her mother in Chicago she and Adele removed with her family to Richmond Indiana while in Richmond Jesse began working on the editorial staff of the register and as a reporter for the Palladium and the item daily newspapers so they've got a great picture of her and look at a great article here the doll yacht rejoicing in the name of Minnetonka with Miss Jesse Colton in command and Mrs. Celia Lawrence Ada Hardin Mamie how many of you have a Mamie in your family we have lots of families Mamie but see that's cool it's an article about her but not one she'd written and then there's a pioneer resident of county called and I believe that is about her she's gone this is her obituary but look at it this is so cool what a beautiful idea that the flag should be raised by the daughter of the two republics I wonder if that would ever happen in the history of the world before under like circumstances so this is a really funny Jesse along with a young Mexican woman raised the flags of their countries in unison so that's cool look at this beautiful 1860 census a picture of her tombstone with more information about that I want to woman of the century Jesse F Colton brief biography and then there's another biography of her which is really cool and even more so I want to check one thing so did you know and there's other sources check that out look at that so you could probably read some of our articles here I want to check to see if yes so she does have the LGBT plus Q plus identifier as a category because she and her partner were a part of that so if you are LGBTQ plus you can put your category there for the profiles that you know and there's quite a few so that's pretty cool and that is the profile of the week woo not the profile of the week question of the week oh did you sort of just try to get rid of Greg all together Sandy me yes I see I kind of watch this more often I usually am sleeping again so you all need to wait wait wait you don't watch us I do but I catch it usually at half way through I admit in my PJs so the featured profiles of the week and this also ties into the connection combat if memory serves me correctly and the connection combat is Sting and Zendaya this week because they're connected with the movie Dune and for those of you that have no knowledge of Dune I can tell you that my son wanted me to mention he did see the movie last week loved it go see it I have not seen it I have not read it I have not ever seen it I've seen the first one I haven't seen the news what about you Betsy I have not seen the movie but I remember reading the books a very long time ago that was I remember having the book but it basically Dune is a story of a young man named Paul Trades his life on the planet Arrakis which Arrakis is Dune so let me see if I can get this right with Greg so I believe Greg takes two profiles in comparison and now you all have to tell us who you are closest to Oh Betsy we can have fun right now and tell her all sorts of weird stuff actually Sandy we are not going to do that to you Sandy what are you going to do to me and if you have connections to these people please post them as she said we aren't going to be actually doing the spreadsheet we are playing hooky because Greg is not here what I did come prepared with is just a little bit of information about each of these individuals and some interesting trivia that may or may not be about Dune so let me start with Sting so anybody have a guess why Sting's name is Sting he had a love of insects as a child so that's why Sting is named Sting and in 2019 the radio industry globally got together and voted and they saw all their stats and said that the song Every Breath You Take is the most played song in radio history and now I'm going to hear it all day long it's going to be with me all day long if you had an ear bug that would be a good one so he played Fade in the movie Dune and then also in the current version of Dune that's out in the theaters Austin Butler plays Fade and some of you might know Austin Butler in the recent movie Elvis musical Elvis now Zen Daya I'm going to please tell me I get this right is Chani I kept saying Chani but I think she's Chani and if Chris is in here I know Chris will tell me if I'm right or wrong really cool thing about her she is the youngest Emmy award winner and she won for Euphoria and I believe a supporting actress role so that was really cool and in 1984 movie Actors Son Young played so those let's move on to Patrick Stort and Josh Brolin as we move along so that was the connection combat and we'll show you the link for that so if you haven't played connection combat check it out it's on G to G it's a lot of fun and we'll see who's the closest and who's the fastest that can get to the connection of Zen Daya and Sting there's also a YouTube video out there it kind of explains it as well okay matchup number two we're going to do Patrick Stort and Josh Brolin who played Gernie Halleck Sir Patrick Stort excuse me for that and a little trivia about him in Star Trek Next Gen but did you know he started in Shakespeare he was a hardcore Shakespearean actor if you have not seen it in Mcbeth he does a fabulous job tomorrow tomorrow from Mcbeth go check it out and then Josh Brolin and he and I know that a lot of you that know MCU will know this he's a baddie he's a comic book baddie he played Thanos in the MCU universe okay so then next matchup this is so much easier without the spreadsheet thank you guys go tell Greg David Lynch and Denini the new for my French speakers please tell me that I said that correctly these two were really really fascinating these were cool so for these are kind of going with the directors matchup combo and I was kind of surprised that I was 22 degrees from Denini that was I thought it would be further away if not at all but for David Lynch if you've ever watched any of his movies and I knew this from a long time ago this one I didn't know but he does have movies and because he does not have chapters or clear transitions in his movies so if you fast forward it's going to be very very tricky he wants the whole thing to be submersive and he's kind of an out there director his movies are interesting I'll say that but the other thing that was really really cool is George Lucas offered him the opportunity to direct the episode of Star Wars 6 The Jedi he turned it down shocking that would have gave him a lot of cash probably in his thing and of course I love Denny for specific reason he played a lot of hockey as a kid and every time that he can he injects hockey into his movies and a lifelong James Bond fan I just like saying his name Denny Vane and I like that picture of him I know it's a microphone but to me it's like he's thinking as he's answering so pretty cool if you look at the screen I had no clue that my 23rd great grandmother was French so I'm going to have to look that up after we're done we have a lot of cousins here too that's pretty cool see that and just one more I'm not going to do all of them this one's just two random picks from the feature profiles of the week Robert Jordan and Franklin Herbert if you don't know Franklin Herbert is the reason Dune is around but let's start with great books those are great books Richard Jordan so he played the sword master weapons teacher and Duncan Idaho what a name right but he's another Mcbeth Shakespeare and Mcbeth actor and he wrote a lot of plays for the LA theater and directed them, produced them wrote them as well and he was actually offered the role of I think it's in the 90s the fugitive and could not do it he had to turn it down because of poor health but let's talk about Frank Herbert so Dune was inspired by the Oregon sand dunes partially inspired by the Oregon sand dunes was kind of cool and he was briefly in the Navy Seabees as a photographer and probably one of the oddest and coolest bits of trivia about him that I found is the heavy metal group Iron Maiden wanted to do a song named and inspired by Dune and he said no and I heard this on the radio this week Iron Maiden's t-shirts have sold more than any other t-shirts of any rock band ever yep it's just fantastic the information so it's pretty interesting to see the trivia that you get from these people and he said no he could have had some royalty rights there but he's not doing it and I did mention the let me put this one down I did mention the connection combat and there it is it's a Zendaya versus Sting this week and what you're trying to do is get the connection to them clean up your connection profiles along the way if you have any that needs sources categories need bios like bags had mentioned need bio need anything along the way from you to them then you want to work on those weevils clean them up get them taken care of and post your connections down in the GGG and as you see we got lots of people that are telling us how far that's really detailed that's really cool that's I took a lot of work through that GGG post if you've been on GGG you know that take a lot of work to do I'm still going who did this I got to find out that I'm still going Mildred thank you Mildred that's a great example and that would be the feature of the week so thank you guys thank you Sandy let me come back over for no spreadsheet okay okay no I got some photos so our theme for March is sports and this photo was contributed with by Patrick Holland who is this little one front row third from the left and I'm going to read to his description the year is 1972 I am 11 years old and in my last year of primary school at St. Mary's Star of the Seaboy School Sandy Mount Dublin Ireland's national sport is Gaelic football and also hurling I am on our school team and we reached the Klana Gael Cup final early rounds yes early rounds are played in local public parks but in Dublin City the finals of these competitions are played at Croke Park which is Ireland's national stadium capacity 90,000 they made it to the finals they had 100-200 spectators attending and they won he says our school had not won or even been in a final for almost 20 years we played St. Michael's of Inaquor and ran out winners in both matches returning to this photo he shows there was some newspaper coverage listing the scores and the members of both teams he was on Sandy Mount and then here is a picture of the stadium so this is the stadium as it was in the 1970's and here is a picture of the stadium today gorgeous and this is a photo of the triumphant team taken a week after with their trophy there it is the boy in the center is holding it and this is Patrick here in the end so what a big deal that must have been fun yes and I think that was that was it we have one more week for sport photos to come in I'm thinking I might have one to contribute so I'll have to put that out and now moving to celebrate your ancestors Vicki I know is in the chat hi Vicki and this is Vicki with her mother Vicki Blanco yes so her mother's birthday is March 21st so that was just this past week 1956 here's a photo of us in 1981 so really really adorable how cute are you telling her something what are you doing there Vicki yes tell us mom it goes this way yeah or is she saying talk to the hand and then Vicki also goes on to tell us that there's an exceptional connection to March in her mother's family so her grandfather switch to that her grandfather his brother and their father what oops what Vicki's having breakfast with her mom they're watching nice that was nice that's a cute picture it is yeah so this is Vicki's grandfather and he and his brother who is still alive and their father all were born on March 11th oh my god amazing yeah that's okay I know and Vicki also has some really really nice photos on these profiles I love this one who is that that Vicki I hope I'm getting this right this is your your great grandfather nice yeah so dapper I know that was exactly the word I was saying you can absolutely see resemblances though you go back to her picture where she's directing traffic oh yeah yeah back to this one yeah I can see it yeah and I would love to know I noticed this photo on shared by some of the profiles about the shop so I'd love to know what kind of a shop it is must be some significance I guess I was trying to see if they were pulling a beer or if they were doing ice cream scroll back up yeah well let's look at it kids you would think it would be ice cream rather than beer it does look like that they're holding a glass yeah and it I'm yeah that's cool and so are your cigars behind them yeah oh that's so fun yeah so happy birthday to everyone in your family this month Vicki and thank you for sharing let's see going going back we did have one yes Chris Wein who is also in the chat I'm going to share Melvin Playford Wines there you go he's from county that my family is from really oh interesting yeah I thought this I never heard of gem but and this profile is managed by the Appalachia project did you arrange with her yes Betsy and I had a conversation beforehand with Chris yeah so Chris writes Melvin Wein was my first cousin twice removed even though he had to walk with two canes he sure could play that fiddle the most interesting part about him was that he could not read a bit or read a note I had the opportunity I didn't know that yeah I had an opportunity to go to his 90th birthday party and the opportunity to meet him a second time when my sister and I went to Charleston West Virginia to do some research I remember his hands being warm and a glow to his body and he was always smiling and Chris also shared a video I don't think I can play the video am I right um you could have uploaded it before and then but you can play it if your speakers are good enough we should be able to hear it well I can okay so just in case it doesn't work I'm going to put that in the chat but here's a little bit I believe we have a I'm not sure so here we go perfect so so that that's some fiddle playing right there yeah I can't say it I've got my fiddle up there we share fourth great grandfather I got a look what's this what is the uh the ID it is wait I lost him wine 560 I've lost Melvin there we go okay he's my 10th cousin and so this is a really really great interesting profile and talks about his family life and and then his the bulk of the information about his musical careers from an obituary and uh so he started there was one thing about his early fiddling he picked up the fiddle at the age of nine while his father was out of the house working as a farmhand one of the first tunes young Melvin learned was Bonaparte's retreat which he played for his father his father in turn taught Melvin some of the songs he had learned from his father and that he just really went on to this extremely distinguished career as a musician and by the end of it he was teaching at colleges and passing along the unwritten canon of pre-colonial Appalachian music to the next generation that is so cool I love the Appalachian music and I love one of my fondest memories is I don't know how this happened but my sister and I ended up in our our kitchen and we very rarely ever played together but she had a mandolin and I had my guitar and we played Bonaparte's repeat and we played it and then we played it and we played it we just like she was like riffing and it's one of my best memories of music is that song that's great it's not an easy song either so you played it that's impressive I mean it is really really not an easy song I played it before we played it I played it I just followed what she was doing and played with her and we played it for like half an hour solid that's very impressive that's how you learn it this is a national heritage fellowship recipient so this is a big deal Appalachians and folk music this is a pretty big deal and how ironic that his middle name is playford I know and the other thing that I really like about this profile is that the records we've got his delayed birth certificate his marriage record his draft registration cards so it's so nice to just be able to click on those and see that when you said all the records I'm like there's records I know that's what I thought too let's listen let's just forget the rest of it so Chris thank you very much for sharing your cousin with us and by the way his connection to March is that he died March 16 well 20 years ago 21 years ago 2003 right off the interstate that's where all the track drivers interestingly gas up that's a little bit of local lore you know yeah okay well the tip of the week I'm just going to take that down for a second so the tip of the week is in two parts and it's kind of a follow up to recent tips so last last week I talked about wikitree turbo extension which had a photo tagging feature and it came to my attention that that extension is not not really currently used and there was a very very significant part to it if you look at the top of any wikitree page you see up here you could search for someone on your watch list and I'm searching for my dad and boom there he is so that is a feature that came out of wikitree turbo that is it's so valuable that it got incorporated into the main screen but there are a few things about it that you need to be aware of one is that it saves a lot of data to your computer so if you were to use it very extensively just know that it might slow things down so and as we noted last week it only works if both people so there's a little update there and then I also wanted to go back to Shonda Feathers tip about borders, borderless tables so remember we celebrated her ancestor John Henry Howell a couple weeks ago and we all admired these very elegant borderless tables so she was kind enough to write up a G2G post about how to do this she also contacted me personally and gave me a personal tutorial on how to do it, I was so excited that's so much fun thank you Shonda she gave a nice shout out to the Saturday Roundup everyone should watch, you never know what tip she'll get so thank you for that kindness so I thought I'd just walk everybody through a simplified version of this I have not been in the habit of putting tables in my narrative so far I don't really have a strong bias I just didn't know how to do it so let me show you first thing you have to have Sorcer and so Sorcer once you have it you'll see this little one up at the top you want to go down to down the menu to options and you'll click on that and it warns you it's going to open in a new we're not seeing your screen there really because wait, Mags I'll do it stop pushing that button no you stop okay alright so number one download Sorcer and then go to the options menu we'll open in a new window and then you're going to see this screen so you're going to want to go to the household table tab and then right at the top there's a pull down menu now it's auto set for no not to automatically add household table which is where I had it but I now changed it to add the table after the so it shows in the biography after the little ref tags and with the source citation in the middle so then I'm going to what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and demonstrate this census listing for Mabel here so now I'm on the census record in family search I'm going to go to Sorcer and build household table so I just wanted to show you that part just because I know you won't be able to see it when I when I do that so here I am I'm on the census record and I'm going to build the household table it's going to tell me the household table is saved to the clipboard and now when I return to Mabel's profile go into edit mode now she's still a profile in progress for me so I'm just going to go in the middle here and I'm going to paste that now let's look in preview mode and see what that's done it creates the table now all you have to do to take the borders away is to come back up and in the very top line instead of one I'm going to make that a zero now when I come down to preview ta-da ta-da t2 wikitree touchdown wikitree touchdown wikitree there's another table converter if you are looking at a table on a website and you want to convert the verbiage in a list to a table it is called Magnus tools here I'll put this in the chat for everybody you can use this to create profiles based on other stuff that you find and all you do is you just take the information you have from the website that's a list put it in here you have the option of creating a table that has a first element as a column header share my screen we're having problems with that today so this is what it looks like it's very simple it's called tab 2 wiki by Magnus tools you just paste in the information you have from the website you can say you want a column header or a row header you can press the table you can create a sortable table and then after you've got the information so if I put in birds birds I like and then blue red cardinal whatever and you got to put it in a list format so do this and then this and then you say yes it will even create a sortable table and to take the border out you just make it a zero and then you can add that border you can just cut and paste and add that information into whatever profile you're working on and you know if you guys have WBE installed and put in a wiki table wizard as well I don't think I would do it for census though I like Betsy's go to source her and grab it and Susan Anderson added a great question in the chat yes it is picking up family searches transcription however if you're here within the edit mode you can make an adjustment just that table again please Betsy just go down to preview because Chris Wine has a question she's got a green highlight bar there are people who are so against this green highlight that it's crazy but if you are a visual learner like I am having things in table format makes it a lot easier for me to see like literally see just roll back up to the wiki markup for that so to add that color Chris you see what they've got the bgcolor and you can find any color you want really by going to bgcolor type that into a google and you can see those formats that you can add different colors so that is so cool yeah just letting everybody know that I gotta have those color difference I'm a visual as well and I've gotta see the difference Mary Kowalski and Mary Kowalski has dropped in today as a new and she is excited except now she's learned all the stuff she has to learn so we're so sorry about that but we're also glad you're here and we're also glad you're learning I put that in my discord status Saturday round up o'clock and Mary sent me a message what is that click on the link we're live right now so Mary I'm so
