Biography
Nina Bruhns is a New York Times and multiple USA Today Bestselling Author of over forty-five romantic thrillers and suspense novels. She holds an MA/ABD in anthropology from the University of Chicago, and a Fil Kand in archaeology from Uppsala Universität in Sweden. All her life, Nina has been interested in solving mysteries of the past, so it’s not surprising that genealogy, especially genetic genealogy, is one of her favorite hobbies. Starting in earnest about 4 years ago, she has traced her own family roots in Denmark, and in some lines has gotten as far back as the 1400s, including discovering an entire Huguenot branch. She has been fascinated by DNA ever since her scientist dad described it to her with wonder in his eyes back in the 1960s. One of her main DNA goals when first testing herself was to confirm the identity of her (cheating philanderer) maternal grandfather, and sure enough, the very first match she traced did so. She’s been a fan ever since. Of DNA, not the philandering grandfather...

Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Denmark Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now, I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.
Has the New Member How-To been helpful, or left you with any questions?
Did you know that we have a research tool that makes finding reliable sources easier? I use it all the time and it helps me remember different places to check. To give it a try, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research, scroll down near the bottom of that list, and select Research with RootsSearch (use your WikiTree email & password). There are over 20 websites to access from there. You can read more about the tool in the RootSearch FAQ.
I am here to help with any problems or queries you may have. To contact me, log into WikiTree, and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment so that I will be notified. Alternatively, you can click my name to visit my profile, where you can send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.

Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.
WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!
We're really glad you're here!
