John:

Thank you for bringing the many contributions of Mary Dunlop Johnson MacLean to the NAACP to my attention. Of interest, WEB DuBois had family connections in the Bahamas.

Hi ,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

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

Just a quick PS

Don't forget to Head over to the G2G forum. and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House or ask a question in any of the other categories. There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: for that "special" ancestor who is eluding you.

if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

Best Wishes, and have fun adding your leaves and branches!

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community! Please remember that we are trying to build one Collaborative Global Family Tree which means only one profile per person. It is important to ensure that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced.

To help you get started, check out an introductory WikiTree video that a member created. For member benefits, see our Community Members page.

We also have a Mentor Team who will be glad to answer questions and help you with any specific problems.

Welcome and Enjoy!

Greetings! I'm descended from eight colonial governors of the Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies, including my namesake John Winthrop, and a convicted (but not executed) Salem witch, Mary (Perkins) Bradbury. I'm also a descendant of Epes Sargent of Gloucester. Personally, I am interested in lobbying responsible parties on both sides of the Atlantic to establish once and for all, through DNA testing, the connection between the Dudley Family of America and the Baronial Sutton-Dudleys of Dudley Castle, Staffordshire, UK. I have personal knowledge and sources to contribute concerning the family of the Hon. Timothy Darling, C.M.G., of Nassau, New Providence Is., and am interested in meeting and learning from his other descendants. Happy to abide by the rules of this community,

Hi John,
