Curators: My profile is good enough to be a Master Profile!

Dan Cornett, I neatened her About and removed the gedcom mess that has uploaded in recent days.Yes, I would love to have some of her ancillaries (spouses, parents) mastered if possible. I am very thankful for this privilege.
I cut the gedcom stuff and do not know what to do with it as I do wish it would blow into the Sources rather than the About. Thank you again! ~Cynthia

Thank you so very much Private User
I will work on her today...several of the profiles associated with ehr are mastered and so it seemed only logical that she be mastered as well since I am very confident about her. Thank you----

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087,

You could copy the GEDCOM messages to a document and add that document to the profile. When you have done that you can use that document as a source for the profile.

Job Waterreus I added some sourced copy to her "About"
and hope that I am ready to resubmit her--please check?

Oh--so sorry, yes, Job Waterreus, regarding the sources for the uploaded gedcom...see, I hate to leave them and yet I hate to remove them...such a conundrum.
unless I recreate them, of course...so much work when a cousin uploads a gedcom...am happy to see new sources and cousins but so much work for people like me who are desperate for the tree and DNA to match and for every representation of an ancestor to have a (correct) path lol

Job Waterreus I have not yet added a document....I have added a link as a source and I have added photos/jpegs but not yet documents...

What I mean is that you could copy the GEDCOM information from the about to a document (notepad should be good enough for that purpose) and add that document to the profile. When you do that you can use that document as a source for the profile. That would give you the possibility to remove the GEDCOM information from the About (because it is now in a source document). That makes the about easier to read.

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087

8/26/2019 at 2:27 PM

Yes, Job Waterreus, that part I understand...I just do not know how/have not (yet) added or created a document to add....I am smart but a slow learner...tend to take an extra minute and then I am off and running. I apologize for taking up the space in this Discussion thread and I thank you sincerely for the pointers
I read and then re-read them..

I copy & paste “useful but ugly” Gedcom references to a text document you can create in Geni “on the fly.” It’s a terrific way to add little citations and saves the “about” for a real reference list, Biography, and family listing.

This is similar to what Job is saying but saves a step. Essentially notepad (a plain text, text editor) is built into Geni! Who knew? :)

From the profile:

- sources tab
- add source
- add a new document
- “Create a new document” (start a new text document)
- title (fill in the box) [example: Gedcom Notes 25 August 2019]
- upload documents
- [paste notes into the text box]
- save

It shows under “media” and then you can select to tick off cited facts - or not, if there are no actual profile facts in the text (often these are references to source data)

I just created one as I was describing so take a look here:

https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000104528487834

(And of course you can then tag this doc to multiple profiles, again a useful way to use the Gedcom notes, and feel more comfortable deleting redundant data from from the “about.”)

This was an excellent question to ask, i’ve been intending to discuss this with more people. Lois & I had gone through a test run on various techniques to try ...

Just a few more comments.

- Cynthia’s example is definitely worth saving, there are date specific sources
- But as commented, to organize it into a readable overview is really tedious: I know, I’ve tried. Plus the “live links” are usually useless, they point to “dead Links” (trees which have moved URLs), so we end up confusing people reading, not to mention ourselves.
- if I was going to town on the MP, I would extract source notes for the “overview”

Example:

===References
* Year: 1840; Census Place: Ripley, Missouri; Roll: 229; Page: 336; Image: 680; Family History Library Film: 0014857 1,8057::3611517

It is possible to find that census report in FamilySearch, Ancestry and MyHeritage. So if I wanted to examine the image, I could “then” add that URL to the reference, and / or upload it as a document.

Erica, thanks.
I am about to go to bed and was thinking to write a little bit more of a how to do it tomorrow, but you bear me to it.

Does anyone feel that she is at a point where she is worthy of being a master profile?

FYI another option for the gedcom information.

You can move the information from the profile overview into a discussion on the profile - which remains with the profile forever.
