I was born in the midwest but have been in the Atlanta, Georgia area since I was 18 months old. I consider myself a native Georgian.
My father's family is from Gibson County, Indiana. My mother's maternal grandparents came to the US in the middle of the 19th century. Her paternal ancestors include Rees Bowen and Nicholas Boren, both notable men who fought in the Revolutionary War.
I married a man from Macon, Georgia. Most of his ancestors are from the south, with some being descendants of Scottish immigrants settling in the mountains of South Carolina.
I became interested in genealogy because of a chart given to my parents by my father's cousin's wife. Sophia Sumners, I will be forever grateful.

I saw you manage a profile for one of my grandparents Edwin Heinecke. I’m new to wiki tree.

This is a courtesy email to share the After Adopting Orphans FAQ which explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the words "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
I hope this helps,

Thanks for creating pre-1700 profile Margaret Graham (abt.1700-1780).
Per our community guidelines, all such profiles require citing a reliable source in order to create them, but Margaret is based upon a "personal family tree" which is not within our definition of a reliable source. If you need help finding a source, you can look to either the Scotland Project or the US Southern Colonies Project for help.
If you need help with any of this, please just let me know.
Thanks.

Congratulations on certifying to work on Pre-1700 profiles! It is very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
