There are two family members who I cannot seem to find anything about, one is Walter Hoover Sr. Baltimore or Washington D.C. who married Cora Bailey Hoover and a 2nd marriage after she died 6 months after giving birth to my father. A woman by the name of Helen Hoover seems to come up as a sister in some records, but not others. I don't think Cora was old enough to have had 3 children, my father his older brother he called Howard, and Helen in her short marriage before she died - she may have been adopted by Walter Sr's 2nd marriage and is an ongoing mystery yet to be solved. Thank you for any info.
The biography for Deborah Hoover is empty. What can you add?
I enjoy studying history of the world., Philosophy and the Gnostics including the Gospel of Thomas. I enjoyed traveling for over a decade with my husband overseas, to Italy thrice, different locations one a cruise two land tours. Turkey was a favorite, and stayed 3 weeks, traveling from Istanbul through the Mountains of Tarsus. Cappadocia etc. Went to Egypt 8 times. Obviously, we loved Egypt, from 2004-2018, and traveled to Guatamala and Belize to see the Pyramids there as well as Mexico's Pyramids.
Besides these trips, we went to a side trip to Jordan to see the Roman town of Jerash, The Copper Scroll form the Dead Sea collection of scrolls, from which Jordan received only 1. We visited Petra and my fav, the new UNESCO site of "Bethany on the Jordan" which became UNESCO Heritage site AFTER we left and saw it the following year. We saw some of Israel, the Dead Sea from Israel and from Jordan. Masada, the tombs, etc. it was fun while it lasted.
Finally hung up my sneakers, feeling my age.
Here is a sample from our trip to Bethany on the Jordan: https://youtu.be/7VcUyDTUfVY

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the 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.

Have you considered participating in WikiTree's Connect-A-Thon? It's a great opportunity to earn a new badge for adding new profiles. The next one will run from Friday, April 22nd to Monday, April 25th.
If you are interested in participating, you can sign up in the G2G forum registration post at https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037/have-you-registered-for-the-april-2022-connect-a-thon-yet?show=1395381#c1395381 and add another badge to your collection. They ask you to join a team, so I invite you to join the Mid-Atlantic Team since I notice you have roots in Maryland. You are not limited to adding profiles for only this region, of course. Like you, most of us have roots in many other regions and countries. Hope you'll consider joining the fun!
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
