I have family tree information on Geni, MyHeritage, and Ancestry. If you are a cousin and interested in sharing or collaborating, I would be delighted to hear from you, so please send me a message. Please feel free to check out my genealogy blog, Searching for Roots and Branches; I haven't been consistent with keeping it up to date, but I hope to return to it every now and then, to share my genealogical explorations and discoveries, as well as occasional entries about related items or family stories.
Hi, Cousin! One of the things I love most about genealogy is discovering my connections to family members I've never met, and reconnecting with family members I haven't seen for a while.
I also love the opportunity to help expand the global family tree, so every once in a while, as time allows and the mood hits me, I create profiles for notables who haven't yet been connected. The most recent such profile I created was for Octavia Butler. Butler was a fabulous science fiction author. The first African American woman to gain prominence as a science fiction writer, she won multiple Hugo and Nebula awards for her work. She was also a recipient of a McArthur Fellowship, an award that the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation provides as an investment in the work of particularly promising creative people; she was the first science fiction author to receive such an award. All in all, she was an amazing woman. If you think you can help to extend her genealogy, please let me know, so I can add you to the trusted list for her and her ancestors.
NOTE Due to family responsibilities and the ill health of close family members, I've had a lot of difficulty finding the time to focus on genealogy. Please be patient with me. If you need to contact me, a direct message is your best bet. I'll do my best to respond.
Biography
The short version
Pamela D. Lloyd was born to a witchy alien fortuneteller and a mad scientist. A sock salesman once tried to buy her in exchange for two suitcases of socks and they were later offered an entire house, but her parents, not knowing when to cut their losses, held out for more, only to get stuck with her. It’s no wonder she turned to writing fantasy and science fiction. It was either that, or take over the universe, and the keys to the spaceship had fallen down a rabbit hole.
Comments about the short version
As strange as it may seem, this bio is actually pretty accurate. My mother suffered terribly from allergies and often claimed that these were due to her being from another planet. She also, for friends and family only, read tea leaves, earning her the nickname Madame Luigi, and my father printed up a certificate for her that identified her as our family's official resident witch. My father, on the other hand, is an organic chemist. He's also quite a character, very eccentric in his own way, and so has earned, to my mind at least, the approbation mad scientist.
A sock salesman really did approach my parents, on the streets of Chicago, with a suitcase full of socks and offer to buy me; when my parents turned him down, he said he had a second suitcase (the two making up his entire inventory) and would give them both. Needless to say, they turned down this offer, as well. While my parents thought this a funny story, I find it quite intriguing, and often wonder if he ever found a child whose parents were willing to take him up on the offer.
When I was two months old, we moved to Lake City, Florida, where, while house shopping, they were offered a house. My father has commented that it was a very nice house, far better than they could otherwise afford. But, once more, they turned this offer down.
I, now, among a variety of other occupations (genealogy being only one of several interests) write speculative fiction. Taking over the universe doesn't really hold much appeal for me—too much work! But, I wouldn't mind taking a ride on a spaceship or falling down a rabbit hole!

To-Do List
I've created a Free Space To-Do list, Pamela Lloyd's To-Do List, using the new To-Do list creator. This was my first Free Space page.
P.S. I'm connected!
Almost all my connections to random people (that is, people with any fame or notoriety) are through my father (Lloyd, Herrington, & Boykin, mostly). I simply haven't got enough information about my mother's family, although I'm working on that. More records are being made available through the internet every day, which is helping.
Check out your connections!
Only the Trusted List can access the following:
Pamela's formal name
full middle name (D.)
e-mail address
exact birthdate
birth location

private siblings' names
private children's names (2)
spouse's name and marriage information

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Pamela or other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Pamela:

It's time for a One Name Studies Project check-in!
Could you please advise me which One Name Studies you're still actively coordinating, i.e. maintaining the main study page and associated research pages, and replying to queries/comments from members.
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you!
If I don’t receive your response within the next three weeks, I’ll assume that your interests have changed or you are no longer able to coordinate any One Name Studies, and you'll be removed from the project.
Please check out the updated Ambassadors Project page and see what we’re doing to get more visibility for Bloggers.
If you would like to join in, please send me a private message with what teams you would like to be on, as well as the email you want to use for the google group. If you use a different email address for trusted list access on WikiTree, please note that as well.
WikiTree Ambassadors are volunteers who have taken on the mission of spreading the WikiTree Love across a variety of channels. There are five other teams, if you have an interest in any of them in addition to the Blogging team, just let me know:
Hi, Pamela! Thanks for following up. I have no personal connection to the Herrington/Harrington family/ies so feel free to do the necessary research. I was following the tree up from here.
On behalf of the Connectors Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let us know if you are still active. If you are active, please let us know in which ways you are currently contributing to the project.
All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.
Im Steven, coordinator of the Categorization Project. Please have a look at the revamped Categorization Project page, specifically about the new team approach. Members will be now be part of the Maintenance Team. Project Liaisons and leaders will be involved in the Vision and Collaboration team.
Please contact me within the next week to let me know if you would like to remain an active member of the project. If I dont hear back from you I will assume you no longer want to be a part of the Categorization Project.
I am researching the Lloyd (Loyd) line of my family. Especially Timothy Lloyd (Loyd) senior (abt 1690-1774 lived in Monmouth, NJ) . Need info on Timothy Lloyd senior: birth, youth, father, mother, brothers, sisters, & extended family.
My line goes goes through/appears to go through Timothy senior, Timothy junior, John, Thomas, Nicholas, James A, Jacob B, Silas, Perry A, and Earl Lavon (father).
I have taken my DNA tests and awaiting results. Will share when available (Feb). I will join the Lloyd Project. I am willing to share any information that I have and to contact others doing similar research.
I would be thrilled to be their profiles managers. But I would also be happy with being put on the Trusted list. I have Mildred Loving's father, but it will not let me attach him to her because of the project protection.
Thank you for the invitation to join the Lloyd One Name Study with adding Thomas. I must admit that I am wondering how my ancestor, Gwenillian Thomas, could be his daughter. That is what the records show on Ancestry.com.

Pamela, Thanks so much for data and sources you added to James Craun of john Albert Craun, the brother of Elizabeth (Craun-18) Green. I would welcome any more sources you may find for John Albert or his Ancestors, not to mention the Green Elizabeth married. I have the marriage source BUT still do not have proof of where Edward hailed from or if one of their sons was my Ira Green-11251. Thanks again for your input.
