I am a retired educator. My interest in genealogy goes back about four decades now. I have been especially interested in attempting to trace my mother's surname: Patterson. I found my undergraduate degree in history to be quite helpful when I researched and wrote two books about the family of Robert (James Robert) Patterson, my gg grandfather: On My Ancestors' Shoulders From Virginia to Iowa: The James Robert Patterson Family, Eagle Book Bindery Publishing Co., Cedar Rapids, IA, 2017; and, Carry Me Forth From Old 'Virginny': Tripping With The James R, Patterson Family Across Two Centuries (1813-2018), Eagle Book Bindery Publishing Co., Cedar Rapids, IA, 2018. In my research I was unable to find and substantiate who his parents were, but I have succeeded in proving who James Robert Patterson's parents were NOT. Accordingly, my research results will necessitate that a number of people eliminate some names from their genealogies, some of whom were accepted by the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution. I have located and documented places where Robert Patterson lived, but not who his ancestors were. I am continuing the quest to identify who they were.

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.
Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members. Please start with our New Member How-To pages.
They will save you time and energy as you add profiles. Once you add profiles to WikiTree they become searchable and in my experience persons interested in these profiles will contact you and may provide further information to expand your family tree.
Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.
