Talk:Weld family

Theresa Weld
hello. i restored the section on theresa weld, because i think it's more appropriate to tag it as unreferenced before actually removing it. --emerson7 18:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I strongly disagree. Do you have any basis for including her as part of this family other than her birth in Greater Boston?  If you don't, it's not appropriate to include her.  I suggest you look for references to support your claim. Boston (talk) 22:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * i make no claim for or against. the appropriate way to challenge assertions that are not libelous or potentially injurious is to tag, not delete. --emerson7 17:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * BTW, Theresa was the daughter of A. Winsor Weld, a notable Harvard man, and was almost certainly a member of this family. Nevertheless, let's find proof before making the claim because it is an extraordinary one. Boston (talk) 13:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * According to these Rootsweb trees, Theresa Weld is a descendant of the immigrant Joseph Weld.  I will look for a more reliable source but it is safe to assume the validity of this descent.--Michael WhiteT·C 16:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That source justifies Theresa Weld's inclusion in the article. Thanks for digging it up.  Some please incorporate these references into the article. Boston (talk) 17:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Rootsweb trees are generally not considered reliable sources because they are user-submitted; I will perhaps look for a better source, but for now it is sufficient to keep Theresa Weld in the article.--Michael WhiteT·C 06:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Tuesday Weld
I have moved the following comment from the section of the article Tuesday Weld: Lothrop Motley Weld II As nearly as I know,my step-father was third cousin of William Weld, not third cousin once removed. He was one of his father's oldest children and much older than Bill Weld. He was Tuesday's brother. It was added to the article by an anonymous editor on 05:06, 19 June 2011 (UTC). Perhaps an editor with more knowledge (and one that cares) could address this. HairyWombat 20:40, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Lewis Ledyard Weld
Need to add this person. He was Theodore Dwight Weld's nephew and played an important role in the formation of the state of Colorado. A short bio is available in "Weld Collections," C.F. Robinson, privately printed, 1938, p.208 owlsplace 13:12, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Not the only Welds in the world
If the title stands as is, then it is misleading as it does not take account of the English Welds who are much older and equally extended and illustrious. The page should reflect that it is only about the American Welds.--Po Mieczu (talk) 00:52, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Almost six months have passed since the requests for focus, improvements and in line citations for verification, none have appeared, I have therefore removed dead links, some of the editorialising and introduced the English Welds.--Po Mieczu (talk) 15:38, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Weld family → Weld Family (America) – Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically. OllieTFC (talk) 16:13, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
