William Copp - William Copp's Wives and Children

Noticed....and agree...

There have been a lot of merges etc since I last looked at the profile....and expect that there might be some errors...

I DID notice the change in country....do not know who thought that the addresses were in US...

Thanks for the heads-up.

PS.... be careful, he is my 8th great grandfather

Really, how wonderful, he's my 10th!

Well hey you two, he's my 11th. Let me know if I can help.

How fun! I didn't know when I started cleaning him up that he was our common ancestor! The best help would be any family stories or photos... What do you mean you don't have any? Sheesh.

;-)

If you feel like straightening out the kids and re-assigning them to the correct mother according to the list I put in his narrative, that would be cool. If not, I'll get to it eventually. Thanks for any help you can give!

William Copp is my first cousin 7 times removed's husband's third great grandfather.

Welcome to this *highly exclusive* family, Bill! ;-)

I'll see what I can do tomorrow Jen. BTW if he's your 10th great and my 11th great, are you my mother?

I could be... we'll know more after you sort out his kids...

My world open from Henery Giles and his wife Mary

Henry Giles Greenman Henry Giles Greenman, Esq.

Mary Bliss Greenman (Maxson) Mary Bliss Greenman

I;ll look at it in the AM..

It is not so much the wrong mother as it is duplicates Joanna Norden is duplicated under both wives, as is Ann and one Rebecca Garde

For some reason I could not delete the duplicate profiles. Is it because I am not a listed manager? or is my ignorance of computer-eze showing again?

Checked it ovr and it looks good....especially like that you listed the children of each wife....is most helpful.

Glad my Jonathan's info on birth helped (noticed you made reference to him and the LDS birth record with Goodith as mother.

He's my 7th great grandfather...

Spoke too soon...problem with his date of birth....

IF his first child was born in 1616....he would have been 7 years old..

As to the multiple children:

1.) Ann..(2 profiles).recorded under both wives....same Aug. 1630 birth date..

2.) Rebecca....(3 profiles).... born 1606 married John Garde....is an MP..(Anne listed as mother)

Rebecca born 1618..(.Anne listed as mother)

Rebecca born 5/6/1641....(Judith listed as mother).

**If the first one married....then I dont believe there would have been an additional Rebecca named with a living same-named female....(my opinion)

3.) Joanna ...one born 10/13/1625...(mother is Anne)

Joanna....born 1625...(mother is Judith).

He married at age 5???

I think it would be wiser to revert to the 1589 birth date.....and consider that he was most likely 46 when he migrated (not 26).

Danny, let's not delete profiles - it's better to "set them free" by removing their incorrect connections, as they will belong to someone at some point. If we just set them free, then they still exist and can be found and reconnected to the right people - if that makes sense. If you open Rebecca Hart's profile and go to the Relationship tab, you can get rid of connections for her that aren't correct.

Rebecca Hart Copp cannot be the child of William and Ann - or even William and Judith, Fay...

His listing on the Blessing's log shows his birthdate as 1609. His brother is also listed, with a birthdate of 1611... do we have any other sources for his birthdate? I'm inclined to go with the 1609 date unless we have stronger proof for the earlier date...

Oh! I see, the marriage date conflicts! Well, let's go look for more proof, then. I'll have a hunt around and see what I can find to support either birthdate...

Since the children's profiles are extras of the same person, shouldn't we commit mergery on them Jen?

Jennifer...I didnt say that Rebecca was a child of William and any wife....just that there were 3 Rebecca's and where she was attached.....I made NO statement on whether Rebecca (married to Harte) was correct or not..

However.....his dob could NOT be 1609.....and I suggest reverting to 1589 until a more complete search is made.....since this discussion will most surely lead to other people either trying to change it OR questioning his birth (based on date of marriage and births of children).

The Copp Family website lists the age of embarkation on the Blessing AND the 1589 birthdate and never resolves the conflict, lol!

I think your suggestion is best, Fay, will revert the date now.

Hope you don't mind but I merged the Johanna's. Enough info was the same to make it a no brainer.

When ready, why not send a message to all managers of the changes and reasons. That should avoid some discord.

Marriage order is an easy fix too and might be less confusing.

Off subject but can either of you tell me what a name suffix MFD stands for? So far I've figured out the D is for dilemma, because it is.

Dont know if anyone else is having trouble going from discussion to the profile to check out what is being done.....maybe this will help.

Danny, instead of sending a direct message to managers, I started this discussion - basically accomplishes the same thing, as all managers should see this discussion in their activity streams. My way of trying to turn this over to the managers instead of trying to muddle through myself, and thus avoiding discord.

Fay, this discussion appears under the Discussion tab on William Copp's profile - that way you don't have to relocate the profile all the time.

Thanks for telling me that.....but I have to get to Williams page to see the discussion....and that involves going from this to his profile.....doesn't it?

I keep Geni open in 2 tabs. Discussion and whatever else can be a click away. Not to be confused with a klick away, which is 1,000 meters.

Do you mean that my smarta** remarks are saved forever in cyberspace by replying to discussions? Cool, I'm immortal!!
