Hi, Are you in the Narramore line? I noticed you do Fielding Narramore.! I did a lot of research on him in Cumberland County at the Archives. He was a well known character. Seems he was well liked.

Dusti: My Lamar line comes down through William Bishop Lamar, Richard and Richard S. through Baker Johnson Lamar who is my great grandfather. My branch of the Lamar family lived in the Frederick/Urbana, Maryland area.

Hi!

Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper:

Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

Guy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Dusti--Happy to help. Wikitree Project members should take every opportunity to help improve the database whenever they can. One of the best ways I have found is using the "Wikitree Matches" tab under "Find" at the top of this page. Rather than entering a name, I leave it at "search for matches across WikiTree" set the search at "within 30 years" and "only people with a birth or death date". This will give you tons of potential names of matches to your own database for you to merge, list as a possible match for later resolution, or reject. If the "within 30 years" option overwhelms you, try "within 2 years" for starters, and expand it when you get those done. This function is how I learned that you had entered a bunch of McKnights into the system--very useful!

Hi,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you will run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Guy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi .

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in?

Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Let me know. I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders.

Hi!

How are you? I'm Shirley, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

If you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info. Do you have Royal Ancestors? Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

And I'm here to help too, just ask!

Shirley ~ WikiTree Mentor

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top right, or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

We also have Mentors to help too.

I look forward to hearing from other researchers!
