Hi Stephanie, The last two profiles you created were for people who already have profiles on WikiTree. I've proposed merges to combine each of them. Before creating new profiles, please check carefully to make sure you're not creating duplicates. Thanks!
I see you've been busy with the Robison additions. I can tell you married into the Family. My Grand Mother was a Robison, born in California. Any connection?? Her family came from Arkansas and are descendants of James Coffell of Ireland. My Great Grand Father was Joseph Robison. I'd love to compare notes if we do have a connection.
Have you or your husband done a DNA test yet? I have, and I've downloaded the results in 3 different web sites. Always looking for any line to add to the family.
I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Also noticed you made 26 contributions to Wikitree, thank you! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Here is a list of our WikiTree projects you might like to check out: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects
Why don't you also stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
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.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
