The biography for Lisa Mack is empty. What can you add?
I was born in Tampa, FL and raised my first few years in a concrete block house on North Dale Mabry Highway next door to Rose's Flea Market. Then in second grade moved to Indian Mound Drive which was bought out by Mr. Sierra when I was 15 and became Avila Golf and country club. We then moved to San Antonio Florida as a family group, my grandfather Emile died before he saw that dream come true. From the age of 15 I have constantly traveled to the British Isles and Ireland feeling most at home there. I have written and self published many poems under different married names and two books The Magic Called Family and Raphael and the Sword of Decision under the name Lisa Obrien which I have kept through my last two marriages. Which would make since even more so that I find I have a Mary O'Bryan in my ancestry. As of this writing my last name is Moore and I have residency in Ireland since the Trump administration. I travel back and forth to the states when able to see family spread mostly in Florida and Georgia.
My Brick Wall Ancestor is Jeremiah "Jesse" McCartha. His grandson C.L. McCartha wrote that he was born in Scotland. However, I know Jeremiah McCarthy is a Cork Ireland name. My Dna in a McCarthy Project .said to be ancient possibly Dunmanway area. Where was Jeremiah born, How did he get to America? It was stated his father was a teacher. Did he have family in Ireland or that went to Australia or that lived in Ulster?? I don't know where it came from and can't be substantiated that a Rev John Dickson of Parish of Kirkowen County Galloway Synod of Glasgow and Ayr Presbystery of Wigton signed Jesse 1791-1799, Was this him? Can anyone help me shift this brick?

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

You asked for help answering your question about adding DNA for your relative. In order to meet the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) consent requirements, DNA can only be added by the person themselves if they are living. See the GDPR FAQ for more information on how the GDPR affected WikiTree when it was implemented in 2018.
Two sections in that FAQ will provide the information you need to:
Section 7 - get your cousin set up Section 9 - put you in charge of the research
Help:How to Get Started with DNA
Please do let me know if you have any other questions about how WikiTree works, even if they seem minor. My rule of thumb when I started was to search for an answer for five minutes, then reach out to my Greeters, and then resume searching. I might have found the answer before they got back to me, but they sometimes offered a different way of doing the same thing which was easier. We are always here to help.
See you in the branches
