Changes in the format for the FHC's information
Good morning Thomas, you may have noticed that there are some changes in the format for the FHC's information. I have been assigned to put up to date information into the FHC Wiki pages in Washington and I'm using a layout for the information which makes it easier for me to check the information. I hope this won't interfere with the information you are putting in.

This information comes from the CDOL and Profile data that is used by the missionaries and employees on the 3rd floor in the JSMB building in Temple Square. Their information should be up to date.

If there are some things left out like zip codes, phone #, addresses, etc. I turn that information in for them to obtain the correct information.

Thank you very much for all you have contributed many people who are using the Wiki for information have told me how much they like all the information.

Thank you again, Sister Heaston

Information beyond the scope of the Wiki
I removed the following information from the page you added it to. I left the link. Per our Guiding Principles: "The Research Wiki does not contain copies of the source documents (except the few pages used as examples). Do not include details about specific ancestors or individual biographies unless they are used as examples on a record or as case studies to illustrate a process or principle."

"Mrs. Edna Hildebrand, Rt. 1, Box 243, Crocker, MO 65452, bought an old Bible from a neighbor, who purchased it at a sale barn. In the front of the Bible is written "Andrew Cowan, His book 7/6-1812" . These names are of interest to Mrs. Hildebrand, and she would like to hear from anyone who can identify this family. The following at noted: Joseph A. Cowan b. 1811 Thomas A.B. Cowan b. 1817 Sally B. Cowan b. 27 Aug 1821 Andrew Cowan b. 17 Jun 1826 Mary B. & E. Cowan [twins] b. 3 Mar 1827 Marvin Cowan b. Apr 1834 David Crockett Cowan b. Oct 1835 James Issace Van Buren Cowan b. 13 Oct 1836 James Campbell Cowan [no dates] James Alexander Campbell Cowan b. 24 Nov 1839 Francis Peirce b. 28 Oct 1824 Susanna Peirce b. 23 Mar 1827 Note that although the bible apparently belonged to Andrew Cowan of Clinton County, he himself is not listed in the transcription."

This would be better placed on a message board such as Rootsweb.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you. Brepouille/Wiki Support Team (talk) 11:54, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
