See https://www.geni.com/projects/Geni-Master-Profile-best-practices/28084 for a description of Master Profiles on Geni.

Before posting here:

1. Try your hardest to connect the profile to the tree (or at least a significant stand-alone tree)

2. Check https://www.geni.com/curators first to see if there's a specific curator who specializes in your area, to whom you should address your request

3. Make sure the profile overview is well-written with proper grammar, punctuation and source citations.

4. Master Profiles are public, so do not include any information or photographs or other images that you or others might consider to be confidential or private.

5. Consider using the multi-lingual support available on Geni to provide information in different languages where appropriate.

6. Ensure that the text and any pictures in the profile are sourced and do not breach any copyright.

7. Understand that a curated profile is not necessarily a “complete” profile. Geni users should continue to add citations and upload source information to profiles after they become MPs.

In your post:

8. Include the URL of each profile to be curated.

9. Advise if fields (data and relationship) are ready to be locked.

10. Explain why the profile is requested to be made an MP. If for example there are two profiles that are often confused, include the URL of both and state why. Do not assume that curators know your thoughts or are familiar with the context which led to your request for the Master Profile flag.

Unfinished business from the prior discussion:
Suzan Martin - you were wanting Edward Wilkins Stevens, 2nd Corp, CSA to be mastered.
I questioned "I'm assuming you would like him locked down - relationships and data." No response to date.

My 10th great grandfather Isaac Dilbeck came to Philadelphia aboard the ship "America" with Francis Daniel Pastorius

Pastorius sailed from Deal on the 10th of June, 1683, and arrived in Philadelphia August 20th, 1683, six weeks earlier than the main body of the first German colonists, the Crefelders and others, who arrived on the 6th of October, 1683. He had with him nine persons: four males, two maids, two children and a lad. They were Jacob Schumacher, Georg Wertmiiller, Isaac Dilbeck with his wife (Marieke) and two boys (Abraham and Jacob), Thomas Gasper, Conrad Backer (nlia^ Rutter) and Frances Simson, an English maid. (Cf. Beehive, p. 223, and this work, p. m.
One of the maids was a Hollander whom he had employed in Deal after his arrival from London.

Curious how the ship Concord, "the German Mayflower" became more famous than the America other than the fact that America was just 9 people and Concord was 13 families :)

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - thank you for a well supported profile in Isaac Dilbeck I’ve gone ahead and locked name, death field and relationships; I suspect you may be able to get more precise records for birth.

Question about his wife Marieke Blomerse Dilbeck “Blomerse” looks like a patronym (child of Blomer) and not a maiden name, so I moved it to the middle name field, which is where we are placing patronyms. Please consult with a Dutch speaker and records to verify.

Thank you so much, Erica Howton!
Maybe Alex Moes or Private User

Erica Howton & Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - There is also a curator named Martin van Buren. (I can't find his URL right now.)

Emily Kent Marget thank you!

I know there are several and I am thankful for them!
I have so many DNA matches from countries that use a patronymic system for naming patterns but get so confused trying to add them to Geni so I am absolutely dependent on the locals/experts in this regard

Emily Kent Marget -- I think you're thinking of Private User?

https://www.geni.com/curators is a handy reference list :)

Private User - Thanks for the correction.

Job Waterreus - would you mind taking a look at Marieke Blomerse Dilbeck for Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 and checking on my naming assumptions?

Erica Howton she probably would not have had a last name in the Netherlands and also when married in the Netherlands did not legally took the name of the husband. So if she would have stayed in the Netherlands the last name should be empty (the husbands last last name could be in the display name and/or in the AKA field, but I think this is okay.

So I’m correct that Blomerse was her patronym, not her surname, and it goes in the middle name field? Her father would have been a man with the given name Blomer?

I also notice this recording of her name: Marritye Bloemers

Is it any more or less correct? Does the variant perhaps help pinpoint her origins? I have the impression this family was Flemish more than Dutch.

I'm not sure, I think I was a bit to fast in replying. Blomer does not seem to be used as a first name.
The last name Blommerse is rather common in the province Gelderland and Zeeland, but also in Belgium. The first name Blommer is not very common.
To be sure you need additional information.

Dilbeck is common name in the South of the Netherlands and also in Belgium, but not in combination with the first name Isaac. Marieke is used in the Netherlands and Belgium, so you really need a bit more information to be sure.

Marritye is probably Mariitje. Bloemers is a very common last name (much more in the Netherlands than in Belgium)

Carl Gustav Verbraeken can you please also look it

Dilbeek is a town 10 km to the west of Brussels. In 1297, we find a ‘van Dilbeek’ (+related spellings) in Leuven and Mechelen (Brabant). In the 16th century, many family members converted to the reformed church and fled to Holland (Rotterdam, Amsterdam) . Bloemers (Blomer, Blomers) is no first name - no patronymic either-, it could have been a last name, (meaning ‘flower merchant’). Dilbeek (Dilbeck) clearly is the last name of the husband of Marieke (Marrytje, Mariitge etc.).

I think this profile is ready to be mastered.

Henry Martin

Karl David Wright - Henry Martin has been mastered but not locked. I can lock at any time.
Is there anything you would like in the curator's notes to keep him separate from any other like-named people?

Please consider for Master Profile, this man was a close personal friend of my 2nd GGF and business partner.

Leonard Corder Huff, Sr

Thank you

Emily Kent Marget Apologies, been out-

For : https://www.geni.com/people/Edward-Stevens-2nd-Corp-CSA/60000000769...

Please relationship lock, I didn't think about it.

Suzan Martin - Mastered & locked.

Thank you

Hi Emily, locking dates can proceed. I don't think there are other profiles he's regularly confused with except the FindAGrave profile mentioned - which I don't even know if it's in GENI or not.

thank you very much for the help-- I will try to add to Abraham but since Jacob is my line from Isaac and Mariitje, his has been the focus of my interest.

A lot of genealogical work has been done over many decades by their descendants and I am so thankful to have been able to get them situated here at Geni at the top of the tree!
Thank you again.

Dimitri Vulis - I think you meant to post your messages here - https://www.geni.com/discussions/158450 (Please do NOT merge Medieval duplicates..)

I have already directed the folks that monitor that discussion to see this one.

Thanks @Emily Kent Marget I will repost there and delete here.

Also Daniel's wife

Elizabeth Magdalene Colvin

Please relationship and name lock

Make note Not Hansborough

Evidently people are confusing with Daniel's great-grandson
