Biography
Joan Sternberg grew up in Fairfield County, CT and was a professional Teacher and Librarian for 30 years working in Mass, and CT schools and libraries. Interest in genealogy began at a young age 13 or so with family indicating they did not know where the family had come from in Europe precisely; and one family member not able to inform the rest of the family the name of his father. My mother grew up in Canada and when her widowed mother remarried an American she came to CT and was schooled there. Her mother also died young and she did not know any of her heritage beyond the two generations she had lived with in Canada, but her aunt had made reference to the possibility of a family member becoming part of the DAR . Thus all my life there was a hanging question of who the ancestors were on both sides of mother and father. It was when I was married that I began to ask and travel to find answers and use research, but it took 40 years to put the whole family story together with sources. I still have not found DNA evidence for the one relative of unknown parentage, nor have I found the origin of the German family even with Ancestry paid research. I have found the heritage of my family who came on the Mayflower (Fuller, Brewster, Bradford, Richardson) and the DAR Kendall connection as well as Acadian first ancestry with those coming from La Rochelle, to Beaubassin with Champlain, and those coming to Quebec and Ile Ste Famille and the founding of the St Anne de Beaupre Basilica.

Thank you for your message. Here is our help page on splitting GEDCOMs: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Splitting_a_GEDCOM We encourage members to start with a small GEDCOM, maybe 25-50 people, to get a feel for the process and the site, and then to go from there. Be sure if you split your GEDCOM you only upload one GEDCOM at a time, wait until it is processed into the site and then upload the next one. -Gilly
