Kathy Evans is a Project Member of the Military and War subproject 1776
Kathy was a Voyager Guide for the Profile Improvement Project
Kathy helped improve some profiles in the GEDI Challenge.
Kathy has completed the Profile Improvement Project's Voyage
Kathy Evans participated with The Nor'Easters during the 2023 Connect-a-Thon, and added 185 connections.
Kathy Evans participated with The Nor'Easters during the 2021 Connect-a-Thon, and added 103 connections.
Kathy Evans participated with The Nor'Easters during the 2021 Source-a-Thon, adding sources to 78 previously unsourced profiles.
Two paternal lines: Evans and Crowe to Counties Kerry and Clare in Ireland. Two maternal lines: Woodbury and Head to the 1620's and the original settlers of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
I was born in Massachusetts, and lived there for 30 years. I then lived in the Denver, Colorado area for 6 years, in New Orleans for 1 year, in New Hampshire for 10 years, and retired to Maine.
My introduction to genealogy happened in 2010. A cousin I never knew existed sent a document to another cousin-in-law, and the document eventually arrived in my email. I didn't realize it, but I was looking at an Ahnentafel printout. I'm glad I worked my way through the many pages, because my mother was listed at the end of the report. My sister and I decided we had to figure out who all these people were. Both our parents had died by this time, so we were starting with a blank page. We learned that the markers in Beverly, Massachusetts, and the street names in Rockport, Massachusetts were for our ancestors. Genealogy has become my passion.
Since I started with genealogy just as records were becoming more widely available online, that's how I learned to do research. I am not a paper person, so I never created notebooks for family lines. WikiTree is the perfect solution for me.
I am a Daughter of the American Revolution, working on my 16th Patriot. Here are my proven Patriots, in order of verification:
- Walter Woodbury - Massachusetts
- Benjamin Tarr - Massachusetts
- Philip Wightman - Rhode Island
- Caleb Lane - Massachusetts

I just wanted to say thank you for your work during the -thon this past weekend. The profiles you added for my Coburn family look fabulous. I appreciate that you took the time to fully source and write a bio for them, instead of just jamming in a Findagrave or Familysearch ID. As a previous team leader for a thon team, I always stressed quality over quantity, and this is exactly what you've done. Many, many thanks for your work! Bobbie

Hi Kathy. Thanks for your efforts to improve our shared tree.
Jeff Haraden is the 4th generation owner. Still trying to see if he and I are related. His relative went to MIT and worked with Edison.
Kathy, thanks for your work to improve our shared tree.
As a reminder Project Boxes should be placed above the Biography heading.
We appreciate your consistent work in improving WikiTree through the Sourcerers Project in 2022!
It is a great project, and I'm glad to help.
Thanks for all your work this month and in 2022 for the Sourcerers Project! Happy New Year!!!
Thank you for adding the Mashpee Cemeteries! I've been too chicken to try it! LOL
Ooh, it's been a steep learning curve for me. But I finally got the hang of it. As you can tell, I'm working on Massachusetts cemeteries and right now it's Barnstable County.
Feel free to add anything to the free space pages if you have more details.
Thanks, Kathy Evans-3182

I'm researching my ancestors: the 1st to settle in Quebec, Canada. Many were soldiers and Filles du Roy. Gail
I've seen these records and have them in my research but not sure how to add records to Wiki tree. Gail
Let me know if you want more help. I am a member of the WikiTree Profile Improvement Project, and if you are interested, sign up for a Voyage.

I think you should merge them, they are the same woman.
Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need.
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!
Debi
PS If you have any GEDCOM cleanup to do, there is a new tool that can help. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
It's great to meet another Lane descendant here! My line comes from Josiah and Abigail's son Isaac, who actually isn't on here yet. I'm in grad school and I don't really have the time to manage this account, I just couldn't bear to see it without a manager. Let me know if you would like to take over management or co-manage it.
Welcome! Lauren-Kate
I would be glad to be co-manager of Josiah.
I'm still working on my GEDCompare report, only about 1/4 through it. Once I've worked through that report I will be adding many more Lanes to the WikiTree! ~Kathy
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

Congratulations on becoming a Family Member of WikiTree! I'm a volunteer greeter, here to answer any questions you may have about WikiTree.
Our New Member How-To pages can help you get started adding profiles or just learning your way around.
Welcome to the community! I hope your WikiTree journey will be as fruitful and enjoyable as mine has been.
Pippin Sheppard, WikiTree Greeter
Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To be able to add profiles, you will need to upgrade (there is no cost). You can do this from your Upgrade page. Just answer the five questions, e.g. who you want to communicate with, if others can see your family tree, what surnames, locations, or topics interest you, etc, and click on the green box that says "Upgrade”.
Upgrading just means you will become a Family Member with the ability to work on your immediate ancestors to help us achieve our goal of joining all individual family trees into one global family tree.
I hope this helps! If you have any problems, let me know.
Take care!
