I am interested in your work on the Beasley Family of Woodford, KY. I administer the Beasley Surname Study (See https://beasgen.net for an overview). I have one earlier ancestor (Benjamin Beasley, who died in Woodford). It appears that his descendants have populated that county. He is identified by a will in Woodford, naming his children Sarah, Tabitha, Thomas, Phebe, Elizabeth, and Charles. His wife is not named but appears in subsequent census reports as Catherine. It seems possible that Lewis was a grandson, perhaps a son of Thomas or Charles. I haven't worked that out yet, but thought I'd offer the possibility.

Hi Eleanor,

I have not been able to reach you with private messages, so I am trying here. I would really love to connect with you to discuss the research of the two John Martins of Laurens, SC who appear to have been first cousins: John Martin (1777-1843) & John Martin (1782-1867)

Hope to hear from you!

Thanks, David

Hi Eleanor!

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months.

In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

• If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
• How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
• Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
• Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
• Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Sincerely, Amy Gilpin on behalf of the Scotland Project Leaders

Thanks Eleanor, we appreciate your work!

I’m seriously am thinking my Andrew Crawford is an entirely different person than Crawford-21840. But I really don’t know where to go from here.

Thanks for checking in, Eleanor.

Hi Eleanor, I have added Griffiths Valuation Roll 1864 for Cullybackey to Thomas Barr-5005. Mary Ann Elder ( Elder-3955 ) was a tenant in his Cullybackey house. Thomas was party to a twenty pound sterling Conditional bond with Mary Ann Elder in 1859 for her son William John Elder Apprenticeship deed .I have been trying to establish why he would be a party to the Conditional bond as William John Elder appears to have different DNA to his sister Mary Ann Elder 1840

Hi,

I am researching Davis in Granville Co, NC. Thomas Davis m 1809 Elizabeth Jenkins, she was supposed to be born in VA. Most descendants moved to Texas-Henry Ward Davis was a son. There is a YDNA connection to a William Benjamin Davis, b 1838, who died in Palestine Anderson Co, TX in 1926 -No death certificate. Do you have ca 1800 Davis information that may tie into Thomas? He married in Warren Co, NC and bought property in Granville Co in 1832. Two daughters married men named Jenkins who were not 'related' one was from Maryland.

Thanks for showing Scotland as one of your interests. If you haven’t yet done so, please join the Scotland project via the G-2-G topic. I hope you get a great deal of pleasure collaborating with colleagues in this great project. If you have any questions or wish any advice either send me a private message or email me.

Hello Eleanor: Did you figure out Elizabeth Finley who married to Thomas Tinsley Cargill (Jr)(II )? I am descendant of them and have filed a supplement DAR application for Paul Finley who was Elizabeth's father and Revolutionary Patriot? Her mother was Mary Martin. If you would like to communicate, my email is [email address removed] p>barbara cargill easley

Eleanor, my ancestry seems to go thru Virginia at least as far back as 1750. Most recent ancestors migrated to northern Kentucky in the early 1800s. I have seen deeds/abstracts that reflect the Senior (Senour) surname identifying the surname in the 1600s on numerous occasions. Still have a lot of research to do.

Hi again! If you didn't want to pick a particular ancestor to include in the sticker, you can just leave the text (without [[WikiTree-ID| ...

Cheers, Liz

P.S. Darlene said you were interested in joining the Colony of Virginia Team also - could you add your name & interest area to the team page? It's https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Colony_of_Virginia_Team

Hi Eleanor

Thanks  for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz

As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects coordinating them is essential. Please ensure there is a location and that the location data matches dates of profiles, avoid abbreviations, add citations & links for sources to support the data, please review these pages   Reliable Pre-1700 Sources  and   Help Sources   for Pre-1700 as well as  United States reliable sources.

The United States Project and its subprojects for each state, would be of interest. Adding the tag UNITED_STATES will connect you  Follow this link for  your tags  This prorject has sub projects  for each State and each of those have their own subprojects for counties.

Explore Pre-1700 Projects list to find one that fits your research focus.

Hi Eleanor!

Thank you for joining us! I hope you're enjoying our site and our community. I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Has the New Member How To Pages been helpful or has it left you with questions?

It's great to have you on board. Enjoy your time here, and good luck growing your branches. If you need help be sure to use the "reply link" for this comment so that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Hi Eleanor

Thank you for upgrading, 😊

I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

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 get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Happy tree climbing

Karen ~ WikiTree Greeter
