Kimberly, we're currently rethinking the US Southern Colonies project.  When we've figured it out, we'll have a new announcement.

Hello,

I would like to join this project. I have many, many ancestors in the Southern States of Colonial America (primarily Virginia & the Carolinas). My ancestors are from the Prater/Prather, Green/Greene, Crawford, Hallum, Meriwether, Hargis, Bates, Hubbard, Parks, Tubbs, Rucker, & Wasson, to name a few.

Amy, as the opening post states, The US Southern Colonies project is being re-organized; we will open a new thread when we've figured it all out.

I encourage you to check out the Virginia and North Carolina projects.

I would like to join the Southern Colonists Project

Yes I would. Jillaine let me know that it was currently being reorganized. Unsure when I should apply again & it'll be ready. Amy

When we're able to get to it, we will post a new announcement. It may take awhile. Other priorities and pandemics are hindering our progress.

In the meantime, consider joining the Virginia and/or Maryland projects.

Which Frank Gill?  My dad is Frank Gill, and then there's the fabulous WikiTree Frank Gill who seems to know everything in the world.  So yes on the dad, no on the Fabulous.

I was referring to the Fabulous one.

I checked - no connection.  Rats!  I wanted at least one smart relative.

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking "Something's amiss!"  I was right! I do not know how you were not in this group yet but thank goodness you are now!!!

Welcome to the Southern Colonies project!!

Answer 7

Hello Paula,

I have traced a family line back to Virginia, which has led me into researching a lot about the descendents of the William Moseley who arrived in Virginia in 1649, from Rotterdam, but born in England. I think this is the branch I will connect to, so backtracking from there, but even if I don't, what is the point of researching all this if I don't share the info with anyone else who may be interested? So I certified pre-1700 and that led me to your project. May I join? Would you kindly recommend any sub-projects you think I should look into collaborating on? Thank you.
