Nice job, PapaTango, well done. Saw your post on the tng forum and checked it out. Alot of work, huh? I'm in the process of getting ready to move my localhost site to my live site as a subdomain for now. Still a long way to go, as you well know. again, very nice job here. Thanks!

Thanks JP! And a great deal of thanks to the TNG communities for help across the years sorting out this and that...

Hello Patrick,
you have built a great site. I am currently converting my WP site to Avada. Your site and your posts on the forum have helped me a lot.
Greetings from Germany

Thanks Joachim. A great Avada source is Dr. K on the forum boards.

Great flow to your site. I like the idea of the QUEST to tell the story of how you got to here. Many good ideas as I look to improve on my websites for various branches of the family tree.

Patrick, great website! I like the idea of having a blog.

Thanks for your suggestions and comments on my new website. They were very helpful, and I appreciate getting the benefit of your experience.

I'm using Family Tree Maker, which I like a lot, and import GEDCOM. We finally fixed the problems of extraneous media items showing up in source citations and of duplicate source citations showing up in the Sources section, so the import process works well now.

Regards,
-- Jeff

Nice looking TNG/Wordpress & Avada site. Still working on my WordPress integration.

Thank you for doing this!! I found this through connecting with Patrick Thrush via Ancentry DNA. I loved seeing Lacy Ann Rice Traynor ( my great great grandmother who I am named after) and my my Great grandfather Patrick Traynor. The pictures of my grandma Mildred & Grandpa Charles Traynor Sr also made my day. Thank you again for all of your hard work.

I found this place looking for where one of my great grandparents might be buried. I found them in Farmington! I just wish there was a bit more detail on who they were and how they lived their lives. How can I help by adding things I know?
Admin Reply by: PapaTango
Hello Franklin,

You can use the 'Suggest' tab on any person's display page to send me the information you think adds to the life story of someone. A lot of our ancestors lived in the Farmington, Elmwood, and Trivoli areas. I have sent an email with additional information!

Thank you for doing this! I have found relatives and ancestors that I did not know existed. Please continue the great work, and we have sent $50 toward the effort. We hope that you stay well and interested for a long time! ❤

Brilliant website, full of fascinating information. Wish I had the technology skills to do similar! My situation is very similar to yours in seeking to identify family members generally through conventional research and DNA. That applies particularly to my missing father and paternal side generally! Ancestry DNA picked up that we might be related through that side through a common ancestor born in the UK and who relocated to the USA in the 1800s. However, proving the link is not easy and a thought has just occurred to me - I wonder if the DNA link between us could be through your (and my) missing paternal side - as Ancestry can only make suggestions of possible links based on the people already populating each tree? Not sure where that leaves everything, or how likely it is? perhaps you have some thoughts? Best wishes

Interesting site. I enjoyed finding the picture of my great-great grandfather, immigrant Patrick Trainer with Dulcina. My line is through his son, Frank, to Dennis (later to become Sr), DWT jr., and then to me.

Thanks Gary, this is a work in progress that will last until I am no longer able to do the research... All of the family information is being edited and added to--and there are about 20 pages of articles currently being written that paint a profile of family members. It's really easy to get hooked on family history!

I really like the front pages of the site, but I hope you add something like a FAQ to help out with the genealogy pages. Keep up the good work!

My Website is under construction. I previously ran 11.x TNG install, now I am rebuilding a new site using 12.0.3 with WP/Avada integration.

I really like you simple elegant layout/format. Looking forward to hearing more about your "journey"

Thanks for the compliments, Kevin! I did not see your entry until just now--as much is busy happening in the background and notifications were not turned on. As you have found out, a WP/TNG bundle is not an 'out of the box' happy place. Dr. K makes it sound like one loads the programs, writes a bit of content, and imports their GEDCOM and all is good! Keep checking back, as I have added and cleaned up a lot of things--including a forum with a board for WP/TNG discussion. I will keep an eye on your development process too!

Patrick, great job on the site! I have some information on great aunt Hanna (Graham) Thrush, the wife of Frank Thrush, that you might be interested in. I will send it along by regular mail. Thanks for all you are doing for the family history. 😄

Thanks, Linda, and I look forward to receiving the materials. Photos would be nice, as everything 'known' was lost decades ago.

Just did a review of the work on the website so far. It is looking good, although the data still needs a bit of massaging. Keep up the good work and I look forward to checking back in a few weeks.
