Biography

I grew up in Maryland, lived for about 14 years in California, and have settled in New Jersey, where I am a biology professor. Both of my grandmothers worked on family history; I got interested in May 2018 when I helped my mother solve a long-standing family mystery.

Current WikiTree goals:

• Maintain membership in the all-important Tortoise Club. Slow but steady wins the race!

• Trace all ancestors at least as far back as their arrival in North America (DONE for my paternal grandfather's Irish ancestors; much of the rest is traced back to the US Revolutionary War era, and some further back to early colonial America.)

• Improve profiles for ancestors and cousins of my great great grandfather William Morgan Jett from the Northern Neck region of Virginia (mostly currently bare bones profiles with a couple of secondary sources).

• Trace my paternal grandfather's Irish ancestors as far back as possible

• Do as much DNA confirmation as possible using DNA matches on FTDNA, GEDMatch, and AncestryDNA.

√ Maternal side DONE for 8 of 8 sets of great great great grandparents, using 3rd cousins or closer of my mother and/or her maternal first cousin

√ Paternal side DONE for 6 of 8 sets of great great great grandparents using 3rd cousins or closer of my uncle

• Need more third cousins to test to do further confirmations at that level (descendants of Jeremiah Maloney + Margaret Carroll; none known to exist for Hugh Gray + Ann Carr)
• Gathering information for potential segment triangulations further back
• Using Y-DNA to explore my direct Hazard paternal line

√ Find identity of my mother's father through DNA triangulation of distant cousins and traditional genealogy research (DONE; see my mother's profile page for details)

√ Improve sourcing of the profiles I added when I first started on WikiTree (DONE; at least I think I got them all!)

√ Expand trees of ancestors to include their siblings (DONE, going back about 5 generations; more could be done further back)

Current brick walls (mid-1800s) and mysteries:

Maternal

Annie Killingsworth: Looking for parents and family; see her page and Killingsworth free space page for search details. UPDATE: Now trying to verify (or disprove) that her parents are Manlove Killingsworth and Ann Cloward.

√Anna Robertson: Supposedly the daughter of "Admiral Robertson" of the British Navy; information is needed. (DONE! Found her father, John Robertson (a mariner but probably not an Admiral) and his parents and grandparents. Next up, finding her mother.)

Paternal

George Franklin (Gray) Hazard appears to have been adopted by his father Frank Hazard. Who is his biological father? Autosomal DNA matches suggest that it is John Flanagan or a close relative, but circumstances are unknown. Research is ongoing.

• A Y-DNA match (Y-37, genetic distance of 1 and probably connected 6-10 generations back) to my brother is descended from John Shortnacy, who immigrated from Ireland to Alabama in the mid 1800s. Researching this possible connection now. A second group of matches, one at the Y-111 level (GD of 9), share the surname Burke/Bourke, so that name could be connected further back.

Elizabeth Savage: Based on DNA matches, she could be descended from Jeremiah Savage, but more information is needed. (HALFWAY THERE! Found her father James Savage; still working on her mother.)

√ Hugh Gray and Ann Carr from Canada (really Ireland): pre-immigration information and parents needed (DONE! Found Irish county of origin (Co. Fermanagh) and parents' names)

√Jeremiah Maloney and Catherine Noonan from Ireland: Have parents' names but no other pre-immigration information (DONE! Found records from County Limerick)

√ Daniel Lavender: There are two possible David Lavenders who could be his father; more information is needed. (DONE! Connected Daniel to his parents David Lavender and Nancy Goins.)

√ Peter Lundquist from Sweden: Have parents' names but no other pre-immigration information (DONE! Found ancestors and relatives going back several generations and am working on getting them added to WikiTree.)
