Biography

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I lived there through the 1950's and 1960's, my first cousin Bob Church III introduced me to genealogy about 2010, thank you Bob. Today genealogy has become a hobby for me and I find it both challenging and rewarding with a plot that twists and turns in so many different directions. Now with some assistance from DNA research we can be assured we are on the right track. [1]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with George or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree: Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • George Church: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup J1c2b5, FTDNA kit #B543744
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:

Have no idea why the Meehan's came to Pike County, Ky. I would love to know the answer to that question.

George,

You've probably been hard at work adding family members and getting connected to those that are already here. You should have at least a few profiles that you manage now. You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. So, this week we're going to look at how to work with your Watchlist: How to Manage Your Watchlist

We are also going to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper

As always, your questions are welcome!

Emma– Wiki Greeter

George--

You've been here for three weeks now! We hope you're profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better. You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer. As always, your questions are welcome!

Hi George!

Hi Scoti!

It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.

See you around the Tree!

Hi George,

Thanks for joining us! I’m David, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.

Hello George --

You are now a confirmed member, and you can get started adding your family members. As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.

Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.

Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.

You can also meet some of our members by joining in the fun with our Question of the Week in the G2G forum: “Have you found any unusual occupations in your family tree?”

Welcome!

Hello George,

Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?

When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

We're really glad you're here!

Sally
