Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Regards. Des
I see that you and I are 10th cousins and share a set of Tyndale grandparents. I have been having a great time trying to connect with other cousins.
I clicked on the Washington tag and saw where you said you are related to President George Washington. So am I. So, my curiosity was piqued, so I clicked on the relationship finder, had to do the 30 generations options...and, WikiTree says you and I are 15th Cousins. :)
George is my 9th cousin's great grandson. Robert Washington born Lancashire, England 1296-1348 is my direct ancestor. Nice to meet you. Most of my American cousins are Holmans and Harrisons. My Grandad John Walsh lived for a while in Massachusetts as a boy, but his family returned to Ireland and then England. I see you have Tennessee relatives. I have a lot of distant cousins who lived there. One of them is Thomas Jefferson buddy Holman born Tennessee 1882 and died 1955. He is on Wikitree. His Dad was a Civil War Vet.
