Communication Preferences: I am interested in communicating private message with anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests. My family tree is at <https://www.ancestry.com/invite-ui/accept?token=P1RSpbhGWqcmI8TvwWSdccVuRhvzE2Uk94ITrqB5T-M=>.
My paternal grandfather and his older brother we adopted upon my grandfather's birth by a paternal aunt and her husband which is where the Gilbert surname comes from. Their biological parents were Helen Tegmeier and Walter Krueger. Helen's mother was Walter's eldest sister Anna Louise Tegmeier(Krueger). There are extremely distant Gilbert cousins and ancestors in my tree but none that I would potentially share paternal DNA with. My father's Y-DNA from 23andMe came back as R-Z12 and his mtDNA was listed as H2a2. I was partially adopted(transfer of maternal rights) and know my birth mother, however only a year ago I learned who her father was with confirmation via an Ancestry DNA test which I manage. I also manage my maternal grandmother's Ancestry account.

Biography

Just someone with a love for history. Maybe one day I can do genealogy research for a living and not just a hobby.

Reason for Reseaching In early January 2021, Stepma bought the family 23andMe tests. This test revealed that my dad is not my sister's biological father as well as some interesting genetic information. This test (and others!) revealed how my direct maternal great-grandmother's parents emigrated from Transylvania in the 1910s and '20s, proved the insane amount of German heritage on my father's side, and showed a hint of some Maltese ancestry on my maternal grandfather's side somewhere. Including the biggest surprises of all: Polish, Russian, Middle Eastern Jewish, Finnish, and New France on Dad's side, and several nobility ties on my maternal side!

Hello Bekka,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Hi Bekka,

Thanks for having a Big Heart and taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. You will want to read this After Adopting Orphans as it explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. You may also want to go through the new member help on How to manage your Watchlist.

Hi, Bekka

At WikiTree, we aim to protect the privacy of all living individuals for their protection and in line with data protection legislation.

WikiTree has excellent privacy controls, but that won’t protect you and your family if you publish your personal information or the information of your living family members in your biography, Communications section, or on the profiles of others.

Since WikiTree is a public website, I suggest you remove references to dates, locations, or living individuals from your biography, or communication section, or comments.

Many thanks
