The biography for Elizabeth Johnson is empty. What can you add? I was born in San Marcos, Texas and lived in Martindale, Texas until I was about 9. I grew up in Luling, Texas where my parents both taught school. I went to Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches, Texas for 2 years and graduated from the University of Texas Arlington. I married my husband Jim, in Victoria, Texas. I am a retired band director, with 2 teenage children and we live in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
I started researching my paternal side of the family when my dad told me that he knew very little about his grandfather. I found a box that belonged to my dad's dad full of old letters and the nosey part of me just had to know who these people were. That was about 15 years ago. My mother's sister has researched their side of the family rather extensively after she was diagnosed with cancer in her late 40's. Her doctor asked if cancer ran in the family and she decided to find out.
Many people have contributed to the information in my tree. Martha Mullens Tutt (The Mullins Family), Cleona Hodges (The Fewell Family), Rose Moss Young (Moss, Hastings, Patterson, and more) are just a few.

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there 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 some 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'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

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.
