"Need their own pages"

Theresa,

Thanks for registering and joining the Whitney Research Group (WRG). Thanks also for posting your lineage. I have taken the liberty of adding further generations and supplying links from the lineage page to family group pages, where they have been created, for your Whitney ancestors.

As to why the note about the sons who need their own pages, it is a note to us who maintain the website that we have enough information about these men to make pages for which they are the heads of households. On those pages we will put that further data, including lists of their children, references to them in census records, references, and so on. There will be links from Francis Tufts Whitney's page to each of their own pages, and vice versa.

The rest of the information you have put on the Family_Talk: page, I have moved to your User: page. I suggest you delete detailed information about living people, for reasons of privacy and identity theft prevention.

If there is anything I can do to help further, please feel free to contact me.

Default User Page

Theresa,

Your default user page always was a user page. When you registered and it was created, certain information was put on it in order to provide instructions on how to customize it with your own information. That is the "default" part. Now your information is there, which I moved from Francis Tufts Whitney's Family_Talk page, and that replaces those instructions.

Thomas Whitney Wiki Page

Theresa,

If you look at the bottom of that page, you'll see that what is there was taken from our Whitney Research Group page for Thomas Whitney three years ago. (At least they gave us credit, instead of just stealing it!) Instead of using that, use our page at Family:Whitney, Thomas (s1550-1637). That is the current, approved, and authoritative version.

Other Web Sites

Theresa,

You asked about

http://thepeerage.com/p33410.htm#i334091

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_family_tree

I can't see any connection between this Ford family and our Whitney family. Letty Ford who married John³ Whitney is not known to be related. Henry Ford's family came from England in the 1800's, but Letty's family were in Maine by the 1600's.

John² Whitney did marry Ruth Reynolds. It was his father John¹ Whitney who married Elinor -----. Benjamin² Whitney was son of the latter couple, not the former. See their pages for details.

There is a lot of false information on-line. Please be careful. Use information which is sourced, and which uses reliable sources. If there is no source information, treat it as clue material only (at best). For Whitney families, we believe that the Whitney Research Group site is authoritative, and anything which contradicts it should be questioned, if not dismissed.

Grosvenor

Theresa,

Sorry, but I'm too busy with other projects to spend any time on your Grosvenor information. The names you cite are rather common, both given names and surnames, so it is not surprising to find them in any two families.

Ford

Theresa,

Gerald Rudolph Ford, Sr., was son of George Rufus Ford and his wife Zana Frances Pixley, grandson of Henry Thomas Ford and his wife Margaret Ann Stewart, and great-grandson of William Ford and his wife Harriet. William Ford was born 1801 in England and died 1854 in Ohio. If there are connections between these Ford families, they must be in England, and not recent.

This is another side issue to which I cannot afford to devote attention at this time. Ask me a Whitney question, and I would be more willing to look into that.

Another Grosvenor/Whitney Marriage. And Baldwin is also mentioned... these families are long related... and intertwined.
