I have always been interested in my ancestors - my first memory is making a tree for my ancestors in grade school. It took 2020 to get me started on actually doing my own research. I still consider myself a newbie, but I keep learning more everyday.

I am an American women of Scandinavian and European descent. My most recent immigrant ancestors were from the Bergen area of Norway, (2 great-grandfathers and a great-grandmother). One great-grandmother was Swedish (1st generation American). Both my grandmothers considered themselves to be of German descent, although my DNA shows almost no (0-10%) German. Their ancestors came to America in the 1600s, 1700s, and early 1800s from Germany, Wales, and Switzerland. One grandmother came from Quaker roots; the other from Apostolic roots.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
I’m usually look at your latest contributions to figure out which project to recommend, but you already have expressed interest in several areas. I'm going to suggest that you examine the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one or more projects to join. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Please take your time. Accuracy is so much more important than speed on WikiTree. And please add locations, dates, and at least one reliable source to each profile, particularly any pre-1700s profile, before you leave it. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
Have questions? Ask in the comments section of my profile.
:)
