Hi!

Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper:

Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

And we're always looking for volunteers to assist in different ways.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

Hello David

Thanks for joining WikiTree. I'm a WikiTree Mentor available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may have.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me via my profile page.

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top right, or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

We also have Mentors to help too.

Welcome! Michael F. Harris

Also researching Hentz: Michael Hentz, 1720/1761, was the original immigrant: Immigrant: 1753 Passenger & Immigration Lists Index show arrival @ Pennsylvania. He is my 6th great grandfather.

Also researching Hale/Haile: George Haile, 1602-1660, was the original immigrant, He was born in Hertfordshire, Essex, England. He died in Northumberland County, Virginia, USA. He is my 9th great grandfather.

Also researching Ellis: Christopher Columbus Ellis, 1760-1831, was the original immigrant. He first came to the colonies to fight for King George in the revolutionary war. He was with General Burgoyne and surrendered at the battle of Saratoga in 1777. Then in 1781 he joined the continental army in Col. Weissenfels regiment of levies in New York. After the war he got a land grant in Greene Co., NC in 1791 on the French Broad river. This was a part of the Territory ceded by North Carolina in 1789 to the Federal government, and became part of Tennessee in 1796.

I'm currently researching Purifoy, Purefoy, Peurifoy. Capt. Thomas Purefoy, 1578-1655, was the original immigrant: arriving 1621 in Virginia aboard the Ship George. I'm ten generations from him.

I see you have uploaded your DNA for comparison. Did you know we have a project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening? If you are interested and would like to check it out, go to the FIND link top right of your profile page, select PROJECTS from the drop down box, and then select the link for the DNA project. It has information listed that might be of interest to you, and feel free to contact any of the members if you would like additional details.

I see that you are looking for information on your family. If you are just looking you don't need to Volunteer. You will find the People Search under FIND in the menus, upper right of this page. You can also ask questions in the G2G forum.

If you meant to Volunteer to help grow this wonderful collaborative Tree, please leave a note to that effect. We would love to have you! One of our volunteers will be happy to make you a full member if you post again. Michael F. Harris, Volunteer Greeter
