Stephen: I hope that you decide to become a full member and add profiles of your family members to WikiTree. There already are profiles for your grandparents and your uncle on WikiTree. If you decide to sign the Honor Code, you can adopt those profiles and add more details. You can also add your mother and connect her to her parents, so that you will be connected to the WikiTree One Global Tree.

Your grandfather, Finley Woods Cruikshank, has a profile  at: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cruikshank-390. His family goes back to the 1700s on WikiTree. Your grandmother has a profile on WikiTree. I added their marriage certificate so that you could see the names of both sets of their parents. I hope that you enjoy your journey with WikiTree. Anne
