Honor Code SignatorySigned 21 Mar 2021 | 298 contributions | 6 thank-yous | 2,400 connections
The youngest of 5 siblings - Brothers: Mark Gordon (has 1 daughter, lost his daughter, Stacey Christine to leukemia) and Joel Norman (no children). Mark is deceased as of 2012. Sisters: Colleen Margaret (three children) and Carol Jean(four children), all are still living. I grew up in central Pennsylvania, graduating in 1976. Graduated from college in 1980 and moved to Petersburg, Alaska to teach. This is where I met my husband, Kirk Arnold Thomas. We were married in 1983 in Hawaii. We moved to MT in 1991 and ran a seafood business. We had three children together: all still living in Montana. Kirk was killed in an accident in 2008. I have 5 grandchildren I've been a teacher for over the last 40 years. I would love to go back to where my ancestors lived and died in northern Maine and New Brunswick. I believe I have many, many relatives that I know nothing about.

Good luck in your quest to connect with far-flung family! Have you noticed that you can click on the green tags (near the top of your profile) to see others interested in that surname or location? The more of these clickable tags you add (20 max.) that include surnames, locations, periods of history or other genealogical interests, the more connections you will make and maybe find a few cousins! To edit or add more tags, click on the word “following” or use this link. This page will help you learn more about tags.

PS There is a tool that can help with cleaning up GEDCOM created biographies. It lets you concentrate on the genealogy rather than the formatting. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

PS Did you know that Tags become clickable links to others researching those names, or places, that you are interested in. They also control what is included in the family activity emails from WikiTree.
