Larry Duncan

Hey Cousin! Welcome to WikiTree. Glad to see that you've added your DNA test results. Looking forward to finding the correct John Duncan to add to our family tree so that we can watch it grow.

Hi!

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 ourBiography 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!

Hi Larry,

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!

Hi Larry,

There is a great Genealogy 101 reference list here: Getting Started with Genealogy It contains great tips for beginning your Ancestor Quest.

WikiTree is a collaborative site for people of all experience levels.

Good Luck,

Fred

My name is Larry Thomas Duncan. My father (John Thomas Duncan) passed away in August 2015. He had spent countless hours trying to trace our family's genealogy but hit a roadblock that did not allow him past Jesse Alexander Duncan. After his death I decided to see if I could complete his work. I believe Jesse Alexander Duncan may be the son of John Paul Duncan who, in turn, may be the son of Charles Duncan of Knob Creek, TN, but I do have have definitive evidence that this is correct. I know very little about genealogical research. I need the help of others and am wiling to help others if I have any information they may need.

I see you have, or plan to upload a GEDCOM. Our GEDCOM process is a bit different than what might be used to on other sites. We have some great help pages to make your experience go more smoothly:

If you have any questions about your GEDCOM or our process, you can contact our GEDCOM Manager for assistance.

Hi Larry,

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used. WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message here on your profile about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! We’re really glad you’re here.

Have fun!
