Could you please check the profiles Loftus-631 and Lester-3165 for whom you are PM.

These profiles have some minor typographical errors that are raising database error messages, but we are not able to correct them as you have the profile locked.

Could you please either unlock them, correct the errors or add me to the trusted list and I'll correct them.

Thanks

Hi again Ralph. Since the merge I suggested of John Allchurch profiles, we now both seem to be profile managers of that person. If you are related to Johnny, then we are also obscurely related. Regards, Chris.

Hi Chris,

I got to the Allchurchs' via my Ancestry tree. When bored I 'surf' through hints on Ancestry and add branches to my family tree. I uploaded my tree (GEDCOM0 to wiki, and have been working through confirming the profiles. We are not related by blood, but are related by marriage. Ancestry gives Jonny Allchurch as : 1st cousin 1x removed of husband of 2nd cousin 1x removed. As you ar much more closely related to Jonny, I have removed myself as a profile manager. If you wish I can also remove myself as profile manager to other Allchurchs' & Rollisons' that I created on wiki. Let me know. Best Regards, Ralph

Thanks for the information. I am related to the Allchurch line. I can't remember the Rollison's off the top of my head, except for one in USA. Whatever makes you happy mate. I'm easy about it.
