Paul Bumpus

Paul, found a new [to me] Bump in Sharon CT deeds....know anything about the Jesse Bump who sold 20 acres there in 1762??.....recorded right after a deed by Philip Bump [son of Sarah-3 Eaton] for 50 acres [which deed mentions neighbor Jesse Bump]. See: Sharon CT LR 5:183-5; FHL Film #5668:330-1. There is an Edgar Bump lurking in these Sharon LRs, but I have to go back for that deed some time.

Is Jesse a son of Philip? I need will for this Philip Bump....shortly after 1762, as he was b. 1689/90. Any ideas? did Philip and Jesse go to New York?? someone has pasted together some children for Jesse..in ME!!! Philip was paid in New York money/bills of credit...was he planning on removing to NY?? Stay safe!! Louise [email address removed]

Hello Paul,

Congratulations on certifying to work on Pre-1700 profiles! It is very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

Hi Paul

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!
