I am interested in communicating

cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
Here is my family tree.
I saw the John Jefferson High Bible in about 1973. My great-aunt Lena High Brazell, my grandfather's sister, had the bible in her home. I copied the information that she would let me see. I do not know the location of the bible at this point in time. It had the information about his family.

I have copies of the pages from the William Charles and Sarah Louise (Duncan) Atherton Bible that my father had when I was growing up. Currently, my brother has the bible in his possession. They married in 12 Oct 1879, and the bible was printed in 1880.

I was born in Texas, educated in the same place I was born. I was born 90 days premature and was in the hospital for 57 days until I weighed five pounds. Graduated a year early from high school. Studied Spanish for 5 years and was semi fluent and have forgotten a lot. I love the language. I recognize foreign language accents in spoken language and try to guess where the person's heritage. I like to say, "Thank you," in languages if I can pronounce it. It makes other people happy when they hear it. I may not know any other word of that language, but it makes them happy, nonetheless. I taught school for many years; children are my joy. I am proud when I learn that they graduate, get their GED, and/or go on to college. My children are grown. Genealogy and knitting/crochet are my hobbies.

Interesting for me and maybe someone else. I have not checked them all out. I just thought the names were interesting. If there is no protest, I with add the connections list. I find that my line is not listed with many of the trees. Thus, mine is "new". Kathy

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.

I just looked at your family tree. We are both descended from John Jefferson High, He is my gg grandfather, and married to Frances Elizabeth Ross High. There are some Blairs in my line. I think I have finally reached the point where I need to start entering data from my family papers. I have a plastic crate full containing both sides. Thank you for your moral support and information.
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!

I have started an Atherton One Name Study (ONS) here.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would you be so kind as to addto your Atherton profiles, their spouses and any children that bear the Atherton Surname?
If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, I would be more than happy to do it for you if you give me access (even temporarily :-) )
Please rest assured that this will only list the person in the ONS. No restricted information will be exposed (even the name if "Private").
Thank you very much in advance. Your cousin, Bob
I cannot put the "Atherton Name Study" to the top of this page. Can you help me? I can be very inept with doing things on the web; even if it is cut and paste. Thank you. Kathy
