Biography
Margaret Gabbard was the third of four children born to Gloria Fregd and Albert E Gabbard. She lived in Columbus, Ohio the first 13 years of her life, at which time her family relocated to first Round Rock, TX, and a few months later to Albuquerque, NM.
Margaret graduated from Del Norte HS in Albuquerque, and at age 18 joined the US Air Force. She was honorably discharged 5 years later and moved to Tempe, AZ where she attended and graduated from Arizona State University with a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science, followed several years later by an MBA.
Margaret was employed by Rockwell International in Anaheim, California, and Motorola, Inc. in Scottsdale, Arizona. The latter being where she met her husband Stan. They were married in 1991.
After several years their family grew to four, with the birth of Abbie and Matt.
Margaret began a new phase of her life when she was widowed in June of 2017. The remainder of her story has yet to transpire.

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions! Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.
Thanks, WikiMesssenger Cindy
You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.
There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.

I see that you had a merge in your recent past and if you notice, the Biography & Sources are duplicated. Once a merge is completed, that is part of the process in that all that information is saved and it is up to us to edit out the duplicate information. Let me know if you need help with that.
Thanks, Cindy
You're getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now and collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
Questions?? Just ask! If the above link does not work from your email, please go to your profile in the public comments and it will work from there.

PS-Good work so far! Have you noticed on ancestor profiles on bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try!
This week, we'd like to show you How to Join in the Community. There's no shortage of opportunities to get involved.
For your pre-1700 focus, the Kentucky Project, part of the United States History Project, and the Sweden Project might be of interest to you.
Be sure to check out the One Name Studies Project to see if anyone has started a project for one of the surnames in your family. Don't see one? Follow the instructions for starting your own!
Have questions? Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

I was not aware of this site until I get in contact with you. I am trying to understand how it works.
Your cousin.
Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified! Now it's time to pick a project that best fits the pre-1700 profiles you'll be working on.
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Do you have some historically-significant ancestors? Look at the list of active projects to see if one fits your needs.
Once you find a project that interests you, visit their project page for more information and to find out how to join. You can also use the Following link to add the project tag to your profile, and you'll be kept up to date on any activity for that project.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
