Biography
Started life on Field Brook Road among the Redwoods, which made me a nature and animal lover. Moved into town when around 5 loved to learn but hated school. Mother was very proud to be the first college graduate in the family. She had a teachers degree from Humboldt State . My father was a strong, handsome man who served in the Navy mostly on the SS Saratoga during WWII. Later he worked at Simpson Timber and after we moved to Long Beach as an Electrician at the Naval Shipyard there. I loved Horses since I was about 3 years old and one of Dads friends let me sit on his horse while he talked with my Dad. Managed to take riding lessons off and on-my favorite were weekly lessons when we spent the summer in Santa Rosa before it got all built up. Beautiful rolling golden hills with scattered green oak trees and blue blue sky. Lived many years in Redondo, and Hermosa Beach towns. Loved walking on the beach, skating and bicycling along the beach. Moved up to the San Joaquin Valley near Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks . Finally realized my dream of owning an Arab horse in my 40's as well as my own home. Also discovered kayaking in my 60's both ocean and river were fun. Did a lot of Hiking in Sequoia, Yosemite and areas around. Have had dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes but my favorites are German Shepherds.

I looked a bit further, and the Richard G Brown in the 1830 Campbell County, VA census is not the same as my ancestor. Richard of VA remained there and was enumerated in the 1850 census. So I've removed the 1830 census. BUT, I do appreciate you trying to help!

You left me a comment on my page, and I left you a reply, but I am not sure If you would see it, as I am unsure how the comments work. So I posted it on here as well.
Here is the comment that you left on my page; " Hi Breauna, we are related through Dna. Unfortunately we share several ancestors including Van Beiber, Evans, Renfro, Looney and Holstein so cannot use to determine the lines except in a general way. Those are all on my Paternal Holston side Best Regards, Sherry Holston-101"
Here is my reply; " Hello! Sorry it took so long to reply back to you. Your father is my 6th cousin. Through my Holstein Side. Which is on my father's mother side. Our common ancestor is Stephen Holstein. He is my 5th great-grandfather. At least that is the way I found we are connected.
Hope to hear back from you! :)"

We have a Gardner One-Name-Study to assist you with your research.
If you could add Category: Gardner Name Study between [[ ]] to your profile, there's a sticker on the ONS for the Ancestors profiles! :-)
If you have not done so already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include Gardner & any other tag terms that you wish to follow.
If you would like to help other Gardners, please find and add sources to any of these Unsourced Gardner profiles.
Are you related to me, Charlotte Shockey?
I did not see how to edit my Public profile add on my private profile under sources?
Thank you,
Sherry
If you have not done so, set your Followed preferences to include DNA.
It's not hard to add DNA test information to profiles on WikiTree, just make sure you add the tests to the actual test participant's profile & set the Privacy to private w/ public biography & family tree to show the tester's part of our tree. For help see How to DNA on WikiTree
We also encourage you to join our Google+ Community for DNA discussions, questions & new information.

Having trouble starting your tree ? Start with what you know. You can begin by adding family members. Extra tips are at How to use WikiTree.
We do emphasize Sources at WikiTree as well as dates and locations as you build your family tree here. Stuck on how to do it here ? Ask at G2G. which is a community forum for genealogists.
Happy WikiTreeing...Maggie
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!
If youve confirmed your e-mail address, you'll see a form on your Navigation Home Page that invites you to volunteer to become a full member and 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!
