Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same ancestors.
My family tree is at <https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/173770163/family/familyview?cfpid=152279190168>.
I am making a Family tree because I dont know alot about my family history and My family members dont have alot of knowledge either. My hope is to be able to build my tree so that my family members and I can learn who our ancestors our and where we come from.

hello, thank you for reaching out, I am coming along slowly but making progress. thank you for the research info i am going to check it out now, I havent been able to get on here this week and im looking forward to building the tree more.its almost a garuntee that i will hit a wall lol so i will reach out when I run into it. thank you again,
Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches, once that has been done, you add any remaining names manually.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

Sounds like you might have a few more clues there that you can build on.
First, was your mother's birth name Keeth or Williams? If it was Keeth, you will need to edit her profile and put Keeth in the last name at birth field. That will give you a surname to research. If you have your maternal uncle's name, you can add him, too. If he is still living, his info will be private but you can use this as a further clue.
For more recent people, obituaries are useful for providing the names of family members. These often can be found online. Also, local resources such as city directories can be helpful. Contact your local library for help on these local resources.
Here on Wikitree, you can post your question to the G2G forum or find a project. There are lots of folks happy to help.
There's a few ideas for you. Drop me a note anytime and let me know how you are doing.
PS I added one source to your mother's profile which just establishes her residency in Florida. If Keeth is your mom's middle name, it might still be a family name. Often children are given a family surname as a middle name. So this is worth investigating.
My mother birth name is williams, keeth was her middle name. I do have my uncles name. i wouldnt think to look in the library for information. i will also check out the forum you listed. thank you for your help and your advice. stay well, and hopfully the next time we speak ill be able to share the answers I have learned.

thank you for the warm welcome. I would love any help you can offer about what step i should take next, I know very little about my mothers side of our family and My father and his family is unknown to me I dont even have a name to start with. I can not get a dna test for my mother because she has passed, my close matches on ancestry I believe is her Brother (my uncle) and her Nephew From one of her sister so I started grouping my shared matches by colors trying to do something i read about called leeds method, but that is as far as i have gone. I have 8 color groups so far and most seem to connect to eachother by two or more colors, I also have 4 dna matches that dont connect to eachother and that i dont have any shared matches with. I always thought Because alot of my family members have very little knowledge about our family history that doing a family tree for my family would be easy with my dna and would fill in the unknown. I hope i explained this the proper way and any advice you can offer would be wonderful. thank you again for reaching out.
