Biography
Professional administrator for emerging biotech company. Dog lover (own three rescues), puzzle enthusiast, cancer survivor, sometime quilter, and general geek. Volunteer with DAR, Find A Grave, Wikitree, Family Search, and individual family heritage groups.
A little about me: I have a pretty good start on my family tree (280-ish ppl), but 20 years ago I (being young and impatient) wasn't very good about citing sources, and now I'm kinda dreading going back and sourcing every fact in my GEDCOM.
Most of my family came to the USA in the 1800s. Active areas in my research now are New York, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Ohio, England, Ireland and Scotland.

Our Honor Code, G2G message forum, help pages, search features, and other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.
VERY IMPORTANT: The more documents, sources, dates, and locations you provide on the profiles you create, the stronger your branches and our mutual global tree will be. If you don't know the correct date, please estimate using before or after.
There are additional tips on my profile page including a link to a few good research sites. At FamilySearch.org summarize their documentation then copy and paste the premade citation as your source. It's very easy.
Hope you enjoy WikiTree!
