Johanna Maria DeWaal (Overbeek) - Alternative Data after Merge

Hi Sharon. I've not seen this screen before. I'm not sure what to do. Can you tell me if you want me to remove the 1799 and just keep the date? I don't know what a "discussion" is. I usually just write the profile manager. I'm a Luddite. Meg

Hello Meg. No, I put both into a Discussion so we could check on the Sources of the specific date. Discussions are just very useful to alert other managers and store info for future.
What data are you working from? The more specific date was yours, but I figured that if you had it so specifically you were probably looking at a more specific source.

The citation above has the date. I'll put it in her profile notes. I think I also have some English census information, but that may be for her daughter Emily Cornelia Sullivan (born DeWaal). The date is also given on some Ancestry family trees. The other sisters don't have a specific date, but this sister does. I was working backwards from her granddaughter Gertrude Henrietta Rivers Wright (born Sullivan) who married her nephew Daniel Wright, the son of her sister Johanna Leonora Christina Overbeek. I was surprised to find the connection. And even more surprised to find that Gertrude Henrietta Rivers Wright died and was buried in Calgary, Alberta. I'm an Albertan. I also found, but didn't copy, the farewell speech that Daniel Anthony Overbeek gave when he handed over Bengal to the British. I think that is on a FindaGrave site. I see the profiles as mini Wikipedias and try to put information that gives a sense of the person.

Wow! Thankyou.
