I've been working on genealogy for over 20 years, continuing the work of my paternal Aunt Mary Brown Burke Rothengass on the Brown and Brayton lines; as well as pursuing all the other many branches both paternal and maternal.
Surnames of my first few ancestral generations: Paternal- BROWN, BRAYTON, MOBLEY, BELL, CREWS, MOORE, COLEMAN, GREEN Maternal- TURNEY, WALTER, MYERS, LITTLE, JAM*SON, MARTIN, HALDEMAN, VAN_SICKLE The lineage of Glen Edgar DUDLEY is taken from the loving research he accomplished prior to his untimely death.
My full family tree is at ancestry.com but set to Private/Searchable. Glad to share the information, images, etc. if you ask. One of my biggest joys in doing this work is finding new cousins, however distant. I also enjoy assisting 'non-rellies' with their research. Collaborating with others is key to in-depth research. So please contact me if we're related, might be related, or if I can assist.
My mitochondrial and autosomal DNA has been tested and both of my brothers have had their yDNA tested at the 111 SNP marker level. The results are at FTDNA and GedMatch, and my aDNA is also at Ancestry.com. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to use the DNA Confirmation Aid. So although many of our ancestors that could be marked DNA confirmed, they are not.
If sources aren't entered, please contact me. I'm a stickler for documentation. Also am glad to share my private ancestry.com tree site. Just ask for an invitation.

1. yes I am happy with my involvement 2. membership requirement is adequate 3. I don't keep count of how many hours, but am always willing to help others track down their rellies in Down and/or Antrim 4. I wish that the gmail group was active. I tried the other group interaction site (Discus?) but didn't like it. I'm not on Facebook. I'd be even more helpful if the gmail group was viable.
Thanks again to you and the rest of the team!

When you have your part of our One Big Tree fleshed out and you are ready to supplement it with DNA test matches, please check out the DNA Help category page to see all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started page in particular.
When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the DNA Confirmation help page. After that, try out the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker app, it can simplify the job.

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.
We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:
We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.
Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!
Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

It’s time for a Project check-in!
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.

My name is Sarah and I’m the new Project Leader for The Native Americans Project. This is your project check-in letter. I would love to hear back from you about your current Native American research interests and project related activity.
Thank you,
Sarah Mason, NA Project Leader
The Bell family most likely attended Oolenoy Baptist Church. Chief Woolenoy, a Cherokee leader who resided in the area, is the possible ancestor of John N. Bell's mother, Miss Crow. A Chief, named by observer as King Crow, were living in this area in 1725. The Crow families were neighbors of the Bell families in 1790, 1800, and 1810 Pendleton District, South Carolina. Unfortunately, most of the earliest church records were destroyed in a house fire. Also, at this point in time, the Cherokee of the Lower Towns [sic Pendleton] did not have written records, so it is unlikely confirmation will be discovered. They were the parents of John N. Bell who moved onto Cherokee County, AL. DNA suggests that she was the mother of John N. Bell. Depending upon which calculator/website one uses, I have .2% to .5% autosomal DNA.
If anyone has the same connection, I'd be glad to 'take a break' from my current focus to collaborate with them.
Wishing you great success!
The 5th! Source-a-Thon will take place from the 2nd of October till the 5th of October. We really hope you will join us at our Team The Flying Dutchmen. Registering is open now HERE. More info at our Team page HERE or at our G2G-S-a-Th-Chat.

... rather than using "I"---HA! sorry, put my name with the header so I hope that clears up any confusion.
...PS I just found this info on the Frost family of the southern US (including Jedediah b.c. 1754 VA and wife Sarah Vandiveer b.c. 1751 MD, which may be of help. Unfortunately, no sources are given --Thanks, I'll add that link to my research notes! One of the 3 Frost children listed there, Edward Vandiver, Johnson, or Goram/Gorham MAY have been the father of Nancy Bell's husband, Jedediah.
Its also possible that JOSEPH Frost who married Sarah's sister, Tabitha Vandiver, may have been his grandparents.
Jedediah, Joseph and my direct Josiah MAY have been siblings.
I've had so many irons in the fire, I don't seem to ever find time to continue my research on Jedediah Frost. I've removed my 'Temporary (Ha!) Notes' until I can realistically find the time to dig into that research....I am truly grateful for your patience!

Thanks for the quick work on the Frost/Bell merges! I see you are related on the Bell side. I recently received a DNA match on FTDNA from a descendant of the 8th child of Jedediah & Nancy, Edwin Jefferson "Jeff" Frost (1855-1943). The descendant has a tree shown but there are some problems with it and I've been trying to figure out/untangle how he & I connect (I'm near positive it must be through this Frost line).
I don't need to be added as PM but if you don't mind, I'd like to add a temporary "Research Notes" heading to Jedediah Frost's profile page while I work at resolving the tangle--would that be okay with you?
Nick
