I consider my genealogical claim to fame to be: there is none! Consider the odds of BOTH parental roots going back to our furthest American ancestors arriving here when the shoreline of New York was barely New Netherlands. The latest ancestral arrivals came in the most recent years of the early-mid 1700's. My direct lines stayed in the colonies and bred, and bred, and populated. However, I have yet to find any relationships to any reasonably recognizable or even famous American leaders. I did find a distant uncle who became famous in his ancestral records because he worked on a road in the same work-group that a young Abraham Lincoln was on.

Just checking in with a few quick tips:
Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, please ask!

Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process for importing a GEDCOM including screenshots that you might find helpful.
The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
You might also like to read the discussions tagged as GEDCOM in the G2G forum.
Good luck,

We are delighted to have you join us! I may be needing your research skills for Washington County, PA. My gr-grandfather, Philip Taylor, was born there in 1814. His father, John, came from Bedford County, PA, but I haven't been able to trace back any further.
