New member introducing myself

Question

I have been researching my family tree for nearly 25 years.  I am interested in Gardiner, Haszard and Bramhall in the US.  In Canada, I am interested in MacDonald, Rogerson and Thomson on Prince Edward Island.

Answer 1

Welcome, Cindy!

I, too, have been researching for a long time (42+ years for me) but have recently decided to become active and work on posting my documented genealogy here on WikiTree.

For years I've been active on FamilySearch, and I'm a big believer in the collaborative single tree approach. But WikiTree is new and challenging for me. Nevertheless I definitely see the value in it.

I hope you, too, really see the benefit and value to contributing here and making the effort to document well. This is the place to help dispel those myths that have cropped up in your family from other badly sourced sites on the Internet!

Cheers,

Greg Lamberson
