Biography

TC is a Voyager Guide for the Profile Improvement Project

TC has completed the Profile Improvement Project's Voyage

TC Duran is a member of the Hartzell Name Study Project.

I'm an active member of WikiTree, and I assist the Profile Improvement Project by serving as a Voyager Guide. I'm also a Hartzell Name Study Coordinator.

Most of my research has been focused on Pennsylvania German (Pennsylvania Dutch) roots in eastern Pennsylvania. I also occasionally study Texas, Cuba, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom.

My maternal haplogroup is H6a1b2, and my paternal haplogroup is C-M130. The DNA estimate from 23andMe indicate the following:

53.5% French and German with the strongest evidence of ancestry and a “likely match” from Hesse, Thuringia, and Bavaria, Germany and a "possible match" from Canton of Bern, Switzerland.

23.6% British and Irish with the strongest evidence of ancestry and a “highly likely match” from Greater London, Greater Manchester and Glasgow City, United Kingdom and a "likely match" from County Donegal, Ireland.

7.1% Spanish and Portuguese.

4.7% Filipino and Austronesian.

I enjoy collaborating, and welcome any help!

My biggest brick walls (so far) are:

Lorenzo Durán and Remono Del Valle - They probably resided in Polangui, Albay, Philippines. They may have immigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii in the late 1800's.

Robert Laird and James Russell - Father-in-laws, their children were married in Northern Ireland. They were probably Protestant and born in either Scotland or Ireland.

Manuel Lamas and Emilia Tubueta - They were probably from Cuba.

Thanks for checking in.

I’m a huge PIP fan, and I feel comfortable in my role as a member of the Voyage Guide Team. I also love the new PIP Rubric and the PIP Project Teams. I’d be happy to help the Biography Team Level 3.

I’m still plugging away at getting my Watchlist profiles up to a level 3, and I’ve been successful in getting most of them up to a level 2.

Thanks for all you do, Debi and Robin!

Thanks, TC. We really appreciate you staying on as a Guide. I've added you to our list of Level 3 Biography writers.

Here's a link to the Bio Team Level 3 page where you can find the lists of profiles that need to be improved. This is a work at your own pace task but we'd love to have you share successes with the Group.

Let us know if you have any suggestions to make the Project better.

Hi TC,

I've added the Palatine Migration badge to your profile and left the Germany project badge there. But when I signed you up for the Palatine project, I enrolled you in our Google group but I did not enroll you in the Germany project Google group. Here is the link to join them, if you haven't already done so: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wikitreegermanroots

Best regards,

TC Duran thank you for the posts for the Bruch surname . However most of them are no relation to me.

TC Duran

Hello, Delores.

I think you may be referring to your "Wiki Genealogy Feed" on your "My WikiTree: Navigation Home Page." I often get updates on familiar surnames that I'm not (directly) related to there, as well. My changes are showing up on your feed because "Bruch" is on your list of followed tags.

Thanks for contacting me. :)

Hi TC,

Re your clarification concerning Williams Township. I have made the correction. We do strive to use the place names as they were known at the time. And the drop down menus can be helpful, but they also can be wrong sometimes. They are from Family Search and we do not have to use their suggestions if they are not right.

When you add notes like this, and are certain of your research as you are in this case, please fell free to make the appropriate correction in the data field yourself. That sort of participation is encouraged by the project!

Thanks for pointing out this correction!

Jerry Dolman

I agree with you and Dave about the parents of Hans, But we do not know when Anna Eva died. It was an estimate since George married Christina in 1736. Anna and George could have been divorced and she could have died during or after childbirth. We do not know until we find a source for the day of death. Thanks for your help.

Hi T,

Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention those profiles need.

I noticed that several of the profiles need GEDCOM cleanup (YouTube video). I recommend adding links to the profiles of family members, rather than removing as recommended in the video.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!
