Question

My surname and profile are Davies can I work on other surnames at same time.

Answer 1

Oh my goodness, yes. If I only worked on my own surname, I would have been bored to tears months ago.

As a newbie, I think I would stick to my own family, that I know about, for a bit.

And welcome to G2G and Wikitree

Answer 2

Frequently I take breaks from my own family.  That is when I go to random orphaned profiles.  And pending merges.

I am very careful wtih pending merges.  If the parents AND the spouse are not the same, I leave them to someone who may have knowledge.  If one has parents and the other has a spouse, I leave them alone.

On adopted profiles, I look for ones in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and add sources to unsourced ones.
