I got interested in genealogy when my mother passed away in 1984 and left most of her notes in a mess. The puzzles she left got me so interested I have branched out from her family (3 branches) to my father's family (3 branches) to my husband's family (5 branches including his mother's). Working on my paternal and maternal lines I have found that they stomped in the same areas of Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. I would love to find where they came over and when.

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!
You'll get an email from us that has helpful links to get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any other genealogy site out there.
When you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
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? Fill in the tags and comments on your profile to show what you're researching? and click the "Save Tag(s) and Volunteer" button, and one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
