Duplicate Page Titles

The following families had duplicate page titles. The last family imported overwrote the first one. Descendants of both now point to the same page.

Steps to correct:

1. Identify unique page titles (list to the side here)
2. Move existing page to the unique title for the current information on the page
3. Grab the other page's info from the history of the page and create a new page with the appropriate unique title
4. Edit the two parent pages to link to the correct two children pages
5. Review all pages linking to the old page title (now a redirect page) and update the links on those pages to the correct new page titles
6. When all links to the old page have been handled, remove the old page (the redirect)

Exact Duplicate

These families had the same page title AND the same link number. Since both of these men are in the 5th generation and were not imported, the potential problems lie with their descendants. This needs further investigation.

• Family:Whitney, Aaron (1740-1817) :C355 Actually on p. 81-83, This should actually be Squire Timothy⁵ Whitney son of Jonas⁴ Whitney.
• Family:Whitney, Aaron (1740-1817) :C355 Actually on p. 83-84, son of Jonas⁴ Whitney.

Lineage Breaks

These families have breaks in their lineages. This is probably due to an error-page link in the lineage of the person with generation number 1.

James

Note: This break was done intentionally! This James' parentage has not been identified. A note should probably be added to James' page and all superscripts from his and his descendants removed.

Families To Import

Please list any additional families (from generations 5, etc.) which still need to be imported here:

Fifth Generation:

1. Family:Whitney, Henry (1745-b1790) C328, who Pierce alleges in in the fifth generation, but his family actually belongs to C300 (not imported), and his lineage is (Benjamin, Benjamin, Joseph, John, John), so he is in the sixth generation.

# Family:Whitney, Isaiah (1735-1818) (Isaiah, Isaiah, Thomas, John) C475

1. Family:Whitney, Abraham (1748-1833) (Abraham, Isaiah, Thomas, John) C488
2. Family:Whitney, Elijah (1754-1834) (Abraham, Isaiah, Thomas, John) C490
3. Family:Whitney, Isaiah (c1756-1841) (Abraham, Isaiah, Thomas, John) C489
4. Family:Whitney, Matthias (1747-a1790) (Joshua, Cornelius, Joshua, John) C556
5. Family:Whitney, David (1764-1830) (Matthias, Cornelius, Joshua, John) C560

17. Family:Whitney, Benjamin (1743-?) (Joshua, Joshua, Benjamin, John) C231 (Generation change) - ROBERT - Lineage seems to differ on the imported page - TIM - Yes, but it's wrong. Ben was son of Joshua, Jr., not of his father Joshua, Sr.
18. Family:Whitney, Isaac (1770-a1817) (Jason, Mark, Benjamin, John) C680 - DONE

Merged Pages

• Family:Whitney, Myron (1826-1888) contains information for both his family as well as the family following it in Pierce. This was caused by him not having a SPAN tag in the original file (Check online Pierce transcription).
• and potentially others not yet identified

Other Minor Issues

The following 'minor' issues can be listed here for future bot cleanup.

• Some dates didn't get converted.
• Bold wives name(s)
• Add wife's name to Children of line (if only 1 wife)
• Convert place categories to include counties
• Children names can be links to errors page
• Childrens' surnames are wrong for two families which had name changes
• Hyphenation not always working - caused by links, fix manually
• b. -> born replacement is too aggressive - fix manually
• Surnames such as Mcpherson now have the incorrect case
