In Memoriam: Sue Hall was an active and generous member of WikiTree. Their presence in our community will be missed. However, their many contributions will live on as part of our shared family tree. This is a gift they gave to family members, distant cousins, and future generations, and is now a permanent part of their legacy.
Bridget Dryden was a descendant of several Magna Carta surety barons. She was the mother of Katherine (Marbury) Scott. Katherine is the 9th great grandmother of Sue
Father's Family
Somers, Ct. and Portsmouth, RI. have several generations of ancestors including intermarriage between third cousins.
I have been doing genealogy since the 1990s. I started when I found books my father had on two of his family lines. I found out that all four of his grandparents had published lines. A lot of research was in libraries and at the Family History Center nearby, ordering microfiche. I travelled to the towns where his ancestors spent several generations and visited some of the cemeteries.
My father's family is all New England, except for one line that made it out to Ohio. A lot of the work on genealogy had been done in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Many of the ancestral lines go back to the Great Migration. When I got online I found that if someone has been doing extensive New England work we can usually find a common ancestor or two ten generations back.
The Hall Family goes back to the 1630s in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Many of the family became Quakers. I haven't looked for them in Quaker records though. Some of the tombstones have Quaker dates and some are in the Friend's cemetery.
Mother's Family
I have only done limited work on my mother's lines, marriage and death certificates, cemetery. Her parents came over from the Ukraine around 1910 and married here in Rochester, NY. I don't speak or read Ukrainian or any other language any information would be in. So far I have found one possible cousin, with a shared surname of my great grandparents. My tree does not go back far enough for matching. My great grandparents did not come over and I only know their names from the marriage certificate.

19th century Greek Catholic records were usually kept in Latin and in a tabular format, which makes them relatively easy to read. You can find very helpful information detailing this, as well as some example records, over at http://halgal.com/vitalrecords.html. If you are unlucky, they will be in Ukrainian instead, though if you are patient you may be able to transliterate the material (made much easier by the tabular format). It's possible that they have translation services but I'm not aware of them.

I have birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, Social Security card,...
I have a letter from my grandfather to my father listing the Hall line all the way back to the 1600s in two lines. It didn't have the third line I found later.
For the moment anyway I have made it a project to add Cemetery Categories for Rhode Island. I have been working in Newport , Kent and Providence Counties.
Two aunts were in the DAR for ancestors John Pomeroy and Micah Soule.
Found some other DAR ancestors. Turns out they count civic duty as well as military.
Robert Dennis was a Justice of the Peace, so you can be a Quaker and a DAR ancestor!
(should probably put dates since these seem to move)
Professionals
I realized I had a lot more relatives in these categories than polititians, military people, artists, etc. (the people that are usually tagets for finding connections).

DNA Ethnic percentages
New Gedmatch combined ID-BP359221C1
Ethnic percentages are not the same at Ancestry and 23 and me, interesting though.
What do you believe?
Since I have taken both Ancestry and 23 and me DNA tests, and the Ancestry tests changed.
It would be nice to have Anglo-Saxon stickers. I think my German is from early settlers of Britain. I have their DNA rather than what they are counting as British. genetic map of Britain "The majority of eastern, central and southern England is made up of a single, relatively homogeneous, genetic group with a significant DNA contribution from Anglo-Saxon migrations (10-40% of total ancestry)."
It would be interesting to study the DNA of the PGM descendants! Where were the origins?

Comments/questions on DNA ethnic percentages
The overwhelming majority of my father's ancestors came from England. Some that did not:
Where did that 21% Germanic come from? I have decided that the research that indicates many of the Puritans came from an area settled by Germans between the Roman and Viking invasions easily accounts for a high percentage of German DNA. The German settlement would have occured about 1000 years before the immigration to the Americas.
Peter Tallman (bef. 1623 - 1708) Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
Ami Decotay (1726 - 1756) Genève, Switzerland

Early ancestors
This is an attempt to see how far the lines go back before they are marked uncertain.
This is a partial list of lines on Wikitree: born here, immigrants, relatives of immigrants. Does this really show the brickwalls? Many of the end of the lines end with a spouse's first name only.
Most immigrants are from England, a few Belgium or Netherland.
Having not traced anyone over the pond, I don't have any idea how good the the lines on Wikitree are. I have listed the countries so far. I started going back to the earliest ancester but that was beyond what I was really interested in, so for the later lines I only traced to immigrants.
The really early lines that are claimed go over to France, Germany, Belgium, Rome, Syria. Most of the early ancestors (but not all) belong to Matilda (Bruce) 1449 Scotland wife of John Marshall Born 1446 in Beverley, Yorkshire, England

Thanks for your work on duplicates and merging....please make sure to remove duplicate sources and information when doing the merge, or clean up after the merge. Please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-113223 as an example....duplicate references to census records and Find a Grave.
Hi Sue! Just wanted to mention that Find A Grave is not considered a reliable source for pre-1700 profiles. I had detached the profile for Ann (Harrison) Hamlin (abt.1680-abt.1773) from the profile for Thomas in March because of the lack of reliable source(s) and because he would have been just 15 when she was born (and neither of his wives could have been her mother, as they were born in 1674 and c1670; the Ann who married Hamlin was born c1680).
The text on the profile for Ann Hamlin said Thomas's profile did not mention her. I've edited that to point to the appropriate section of the Research Notes on his profile: Harrison-211#Hamlin.
oh dear. I just saw your categories. Please also remove the following categories, which are used by the project to track which project-managed profiles are in a project-approved trail to which Surety Baron and are not for profiles which are not badged project-managed profiles.

Sue, I believe that the Wakeman Genealogy ref. you made for Zalmon (Wakeman-416) is the wrong Zalmon. Check the refs. I made above your entry. Thank you. Dave Wakeman
I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!
If I don’t hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.
You are probably more interested in the last 10 generations while I would be more interested in the British invasion between the Romans and the Vikings. I have a very large amount of German DNA on my father's side but since his lines go back mostly to the Great Migration in the 1600s the DNA most likely comes from Britain. It would be interesting if there are studies of the percentage of German in the early colonial settlers. Did they come from areas settled by Anglo-Saxons? There are still large percentages of German DNA in England. I have looked at maps showing different DNA results in Britain. I don't know how much has been studied about where the early settlers came from. Maybe an Ancestry project? Are there any projects that trace longer time frames? Would this be a DNA project or ????
The Germany Project does not have a DNA group or team at this time, but if there's enough interest, we would consider adding one. WikiTree does have a DNA Project here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA.
The Germany Project covers all Germanic people up to 1 AD. Of course, reliable sources are needed for every profile. I personally know little about using DNA to verify relationships and, going back to ancient times, DNA evidence should not be relied upon as a source. To get some guidance on your questions, you might ask a question in our project's Google Group or, better yet, on G2G adding the tags Germany and DNA.
Would you like to keep your Germany Project member badge or should I remove it?
Even though I like having badges you should probably remove the Germany badge. I looked into current thinking and many of the Puritans did come from Anglia a region in England settled by Germans. I watched a couple U-tubes on archeology in the area.
The Germany Project Leaders are doing their semi-annual check-in with all project members and we want to verify that you’re still interested in being a member of the Project. Please respond by private message and let me know.

I have my own project going. There are spaces for the different cemeteries in Rhode Island. I have worked with Newport and am now mostly doing Kent County. They list the find a grave links. I find someone in those cemeteries and add a category and a Find A Grave link. I then add the category back into the list in the space. I don't find someone for every cemetery, but have found many. Net result is many more cemetery categories for the Rhode Island counties. I use the template for cemetery categories. There are a couple other people that then go in and enhance the categories. We don't need to use a Google Group we just share info in the space created for the cemeteries in each county.
I am happy to see you are getting along well. We appreciate your efforts in Rhode Island, and have you listed on the Rhode Island Cemeteries Team roster.
