Peter Roberts Member of the Week: Peter Roberts co-founded our DNA Project and leads a Bahamas Project. "From genetic genealogy I have learned that we are indeed all cousins of each other to some degree," says Peter. "The quest is to find what traditional genealogical records exist to help reveal HOW we are related."

Danielle Liard Last week: Danielle Liard leads the Québec Team in the Canada Project and is a major contributor to Québécois projects and categorization. She loves the collaboration on WikiTree.
