Biography

Third-generation Washingtonian. I've lived in King County, Washington USA all my life, and love it here. My husband Bob and I raised our kids here, and now have a grandson too. I'm a life member of South King County Genealogical Society and lead the SKCGS Publicity team.

I grew up south of Issaquah, and attended Issaquah schools kindergarten through high school. Clark Elementary (5 years), Sunny Hills and Sunset schools for one year each, Issaquah Junior High and Issaquah High School, class of '71. Later I got a chance to attend Green River Community College, earning my AA in 1987? or so. And finally, a year at the UW in Anthropology and Women's Studies.

Besides genealogy, I read everything, and love technical writing. Active member of both the Kubuntu and larger KDE community which produce and distribute free software (Linux). Active and enthusiastic PFLAG member.

You'll find my online trees at Rootsweb, MyHeritage and here at Wikitree.

I love people, art, drama, music, drawing, painting, pottery, photography.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Valorie or other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Valorie (Cowan) Zimmerman: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup H1ac, FTDNA kit #413343, MitoYDNA ID T13145 [compare]
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage (beta) of DNA with Valorie:

Hi, Valorie. I'm Anderson-16961. I don't know anything about my Kaiser ancestor. It is just a name listed on my great-grandfather's marriage registration. We know nothing of his family.

I have a lot of German heritage besides my great-grandparents.

Hi Valorie, Good to make your acquaintance. As your tree expands on Wikitree, you will find many more such collaborations. Wikitree is wonderful for these.

I have pretty much finished entering the Coppin's. They are only distantly related to me, and that by marriage. And I shall soon be bumping up on my 5000 limit and needing to divest profiles. So if you would like to be profile manager for these profiles, just send a trusted list request for one of my Coppin's and I will transfer them. Otherwise I will likely just be 'orphaning' them anyway.

Hello Valorie ,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

Sally ~ WikiTree Mentor

Cowan-1504 Valorie (Cowan) Zimmerman
Hello, WikiTree community. I've been researching my genealogy and family history for about 30 years, but only recently did a DNA test. Kitty Cooper recommended WikiTree as a great way to use the DNA test results in a public tree. I love the idea, and would like to help out.

Hi Valorie -

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM; thank you so much! Here's a link to a great step-by-step explanation of the process, including screenshots that you might find helpful.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, good to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
