Biography
- I got started researching genealogy when I was 20, thanks to a college Geography project and my mom's encouragement. It has been a wonderful experience, allowing me to learn about my family's struggles and triumphs, make personal connections to historic events, and meet wonderful people. I discovered much of what the family "knew" wasn't quite true, but was able to replace those stories with facts. I've becoming very intrigued with Genetic Genealogy and have tested myself and family members at Family Tree DNA, 23andMe and AncestryDNA. I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and enjoy helping ladies with their applications.

Sorry to say in your efforts for DAR you added a sticker to a profile I manage and there is no source that backs up he ever served for NC that I know of Do you have any source that he served for NC?? Please add it as that would improve the profile and I would be very grateful as long as it doesn't come from an application. Many errors in those for My Nisbet one name study When it comes to DAR unfortunately Errors are also found in the DAR applications DAR and SAR says Note: Documents dated from the 1970s are worthless per DAR and SAR standards so was removed as they are no longer valid documentation Patriot Ancestors MUST be re-proven with any/all changes in policy. Also, according to their policy, they can NOT be used as sources. Yes, there are tons of these worthless papers floating around and used as sources but they are not. recycling old data into new formats. This is a perpetual ongoing task and it is effective to weed out errors.
Also I prefer that people use categories as I find them way more helpful I am not a fan of stickers unless they are necessary my personal preference Is there any good reason to use the sticker instead of a category?
edited by Jean (Tennant) Skar
I added the DAR sticker as per the 1776 Project guidelines. This is a sticker that has been approved by both WikiTree and the DAR. I am not aware of a category that has been approved. The DAR sticker does reference the correct man, with dates and relationships that match.
The only inconsistency is that the DAR service lists NC and the Wikitree Profile lists SC. I do not personally have evidence as to which is correct; there is certainly a soldier in NC by that name and I assume one in SC. I do not know if they are the same man or different. I am happy to add the NC citations, though I don't know that that would solve the real issue.

I'm still relatively new to WikiTree and learning the ropes so to speak. As I age, I've given a lot of thought to what happens to my genealogy data that is hosted elsewhere and believe that I have found the perfect place for it on WikiTree. My son has shown an avid interest in his roots lately and I am thrilled that he may be the one to take over when I'm gone, In the interim, I have a lot of data to audit and move. And hopefully, find a few new relatives and friends in the process.
Thank you again, Darlene
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As we always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
Thank you for being a Wikitreer,
Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader

I am working with the DNA Project. I Noticed you have something a bit amiss in your GEDmatch number listed for your FTDNA test. Would you verify it please? Since you have tested with FTDNA, your GEDmatch number should begin with the letter T.
Your GEDmatch number for your 23andMe test also comes up invalid on GEDmatch.
Once you find the right number you can update your GEDmatch ID number by clicking on the My WikiTree Menu at the top right of your profile page, then click on DNA confirmation. Thanks! Emma :-)

As always, you are a great help! Doyle Albea

Thank you.
