My brother Skip and I started genealogy many years ago. Typically, we research Mom's maiden name, which is Giffin. Although, I've branched out nationally and have 24 different Giffin / Giffen family trees. Some of this extented family communicates on the Giffin Family History page on Face Book. We can post information there, but it's difficult to organize it in a meaningful way. I've accumulated several Giffin family histories. Additionally, I enjoy linking up family members at Find A Grave. I share most of my sources and information, except for that of people still living.
Terry was born in 1953. He is the son of Joseph Magyar and June Giffin. Terry is still living. [1]

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Thanks for having a Big Heart and taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. You will want to read this After Adopting Orphans as it explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers.
I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Do you have any questions I can answer?
We want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message.

You have been a member about a week. How is it going so far? Was the first page of the How-Tos helpful or did it leave you with questions?
When you click the green tags on your profile page, you can see if other members are following that tag. Add locations, Country, County or town the more tags you add the more links to community & research options
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile, links will work from there.
