Enhancing Ghana Genealogy Research
I have devoted mylife to becoming a professional Genealogist with the aim of bringing Ghana Genealogy research to light and to be an example for others to follow suite. I will always be glad to learn from the community and to help. Ghana genealogy is in it early stages as compared to the West and their knowledge and technological advances but people like myself will be ready rain or shine to do that which will move the work of God and at last to become a savior on mount Zion.

Updated map for Ghana page
Good morning! My name is Pamela and I am a member of the FS Wiki Support team. I'm excited about your interest in Ghana and in family history! One of our responsibilities is to review changes made to Wiki pages. You indicate in the message left on my talk page that the map you added to the Ghana page was approved by Marilyn Gardner several months ago. However, when I reviewed the change to the Ghana page after you inserted the map, it showed as a red link. I opened the image file and it did not show that it was approved. Since it was displayed only as a red link, I had to reverse the change. I have contacted Marilyn and asked her to look into it. I'll let you know as soon as I find out what's happened, and once everything is set, I'll insert the map again.

Thanks for all you do!--Johnmarkpeterbrown (talk) 09:57, 11 September 2023 (MDT)

Map update
The map image is on the Ghana Wiki page now. Part of the issue was the format of the link; part of the issue was that the file was not originally uploaded in the usual way, so Marilyn's approval did not show up in the usual place when I checked for it. When you want to upload images in the future, it's best to use the link named Upload File/Image under the heading Edit the Wiki on the menu along the left side of every Wiki page. This will ensure the submission process follows the right path.

Thanks again for your help in updating information for Ghana!

Just a comment
Hello again! I just thought I'd mention that my oldest grandson served his mission in Benin. He returned home just before Christmas last year. When he was in Benin, he required a minor but urgent surgery and he was flown to Ghana, probably Accra. He was there for a week. He loved his time in both countries, and it was exciting for us to hear all about his mission experiences, too!

Best regards, Pamela

Ghana a place to be.
Sister Pamela, Glad to here that your oldest grandson has been on the Ghana soil. Though I have hopes to visit the United states someday, Ghana is a place to be. The rich culture and genuine hospitality of our people make the place lively. May I ask how your grandson is doing now. I am so glad to come across your path. Thank you for everything and I will hope to here from you again.--Johnmarkpeterbrown (talk) 14:25, 11 September 2023 (MDT) My grandson is doing great! He is now at BYU Provo, Utah. Pamela
