Born in 1972. Still living. Trying to connect with family. Hope to look back on the things I've done on this site and realize that the technical parts aren't really that difficult. Need to make a lot of improvements. I've decided to use my own profile to experiment on. Hope that makes sense to everyone.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page.
These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

This is a courtesy email to share the After Adopting Orphans FAQ which explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the words "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
Let me know if you have any questions,

Thank you so very much for the helpful information. Just getting into this and it's already become a passion of mine. Seems a bit overwhelming, but I will get better at it. I have so many questions. I'm going to work on the info you gave me first. Thank you for the help.

I do not know who the mother of Argoll is or where Robert was born. There is some information here: https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I075794&tree=Tree1
The information regarding Argoll is from https://www.jstor.org/stable/1916363?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents If you do not have access to read JSTOR articles online, it is worth signing up to do so. You can read 98 articles a month for free. I will add to Robert Warren's profile later, but I need to get some sleep first. It is the wee hours of the morning, here.

You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.
