I see that you have taken the Y-DNA test. Would you be interested in starting a One Name Study for your surname? The purpose of the One Name Study is to coordinate any WikiTreers who are researching one particular surname and to provide a resource for collaboration.

For instructions on how to get started and suggestions for getting the most out of your study, see: One Name Study

For more information, contact Doug or Alison with any questions.

Hi ,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful. Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies. If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles. Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations. If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. _____ Matt~ WikiTree Mentor

My husband is related through the son of David M Ellington & his wife Dorothy Miller. Their son's name was Jacob Ellington and then through Jacob's daughter named Mary Ellington who married John E Armitage. The Armitage's married into my husbands Pennington's. Mindy

You wrote: I am a descendant of George William Ellington through his son Henry Leeka Ellington and my mother Marjorie Louise Ellington. How are you related to him?

Welcome to the DNA Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA

To make DNA connections with your cousins, WikiTree needs to see your FamilyTree. You should use the pale yellow Privacy setting on your profile so that WikiTree can see the Family Tree tab. (Please set all living children to the Unlisted privacy level.)

Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA and any other tag terms that you wish to follow on the GenealogistToGenealogist (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

As you add your family lines and connect to the big WikiTree, you may find you are related to people you never expected. Use the Relationship calculator to see if you are related to me, Cooper-1 with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship

Thanks.

Here is Thompson's FindAGrave #124619054 in Abbotts Creek Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Wallburg, Davidson County, North Carolina, USA. No gravestone picture though, so who knows. Rachel is there too.

Paul, It looks like your Thompson is Sons of the American Revolution patriot #P-293231. SAR Patriot Index Edition III (CD: PP2210, Progeny Publ., 2002) plus data to 2004. I did not find an DAR Ancestor number for him, but that could just mean that no daughters have claimed him yet. Too bad, because the DAR database is better than the SAR database.

Finding a lot on your Smiths now. Do you want help or do you prefer to work on it at your own pace?

Hi Paul, I am working on your James Thompson Smith & Rosella Clapp.
