I live in Italy, although I was born and raised in the US. My family is of Irish origin. All four of my grandparents were born within a 30 mile radius, in Counties Fermanagh and Tyrone. I've traced all branches of the family to the late 18th or early 19th centuries, but would like to know more. The family names that interest me are Vaughan, Brown, Thomas, and Montgomery (all in Country Fermanagh, near Enniskillen and Florence Court); and McCleery, McLaughlin, Mitchell and Griffin (in Country Tyrone, near Gortin and Plumbridge).

Can you let me know if youd like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) youd like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the projects Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.
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.
