I've been researching my family history since the late 1970's when I was still in high school. I have written two published articles about my own ancestors and a small book about my husband's family.
I have volunteered for Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness for many years and also post on Findagrave.
My personal research includes Acadia, Ireland, Germany, and New England for my own family, and many US States plus Cornwall, England for my husband's family.

I removed myself as profile manager of Elizabeth (Holloway) Thornburgh (1793-1884) if you'd like to adopt it. I'm not related to that line (at least through my Holloway surname), but created some profiles a while back to help myself and others navigate through some conflation. Thanks, Joe
This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?
I see that your GEDCOM loaded OK. Do you have questions about the GEDCOMpare process?
Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.

PS If you get a "Page Not Found" error when clicking WikiTree email links, you can often find a working version in the public comments on your profile.
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or special event. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.
Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

A warm welcome to WikiTree. You are now a full member and can add your family to the big tree!
Click here to start with our New Member How-To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!
