Biography

Teri's birth name is Teresa. She has used the nickname Teri throughout childhood and adulthood except for the three years from 1st grade to 3rd grade, September 1964 to May 1968. Upon entering Loretta Academy of Kansas City, she went back to using her nickname Teri. In 1993, she changed her name from Teresa to Teri on her social security account due to her medical care during pregnancy with son Jason being covered under Medicare. St. Luke's hospital had used "Teri Lester" on her medical records. Medicaid had granted her coverage using the name "Teri Lester" and medical personnel advised her that it was easier to change her name with Social Security that it would have been to try to get Medicaid to change it. Teri has been advised to legally change her birth name to Teri on her birth certificate but as of April 22, 2017 has not yet done so.

Hi Teri--

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.

If you have questions, Just ask on my page.!

Hello Teri,

You've probably been hard at work adding family members and getting connected to those that are already here. You should have at least a few profiles that you manage now. So, this week we're going to look at how to work with your Watchlist: How to Manage Your Watchlist.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Thanks, WikiGreeter Cindy

Hello Teri,

You've been here for three weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Thanks, WikiGreeter Cindy

It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.

Hi Teri, Welcome! You are now a confirmed member. WikiTree is is a wonderful place to build your family tree and is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it.

Your first stop is: How to Start Climbing Our Tree. This will show you how to add your family member's and other instructions.

Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.

Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.

You can also meet some of our members by joining in the fun with our Question of the Week in the G2G forum: [Have you discovered any real characters in your branches?]

WikiTree!

Hello Teri, Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?

When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

We're really glad you're here!

Sally
