Member of the Week profile image Member of the Week: Mindy Silva. "I usually split my time up between cousin collaboration, projects such as PGM (Puritan Great Migration) and Data Doctors, Mentoring and Greeting help, and browsing through G2G. Lately, though, a lot of my time was spent working with Susie MacLeod on the new Portugal Project. Susie has been wonderful to work with, and I've learned a lot about starting up new projects on WikiTree. There are so many wonderful people on WikiTree that are willing to help or offer advice!"   [gallery of members]
