Biography

My daddy's family were here before the revolution, were preachers and politicians, slave owners and share croppers, and after the Civil War, educators, professionals, and my dad was a diplomat. Not to say there weren't some scoundrels. Bless their hearts. My mother came from aristocracy in Imperial Russia, and her parents had to flee during the Revolution in 1916. My Ukranaian grandfather was the Captain of a Russian destroyer, and right after my grandmother graduated at the top of her college class (his 2nd marriage) they went with the rest of the White Fleet to Tunisia. So my mother was born in Africa. Of Russian parents. As a French Citizen. In an Arabic country. And then married an American who traveled internationally.

So I am a mutt!! Hooray for hybrid vigor.

Hi Tamara,

Have you or anyone else that you’re aware of conducted any DNA research comparisons between KILLAM or KILLIAN or KILHAM family members to see how closely they’re connected and if they are actually of the same overall family line and whether these surnames are “variants” and what the original, which ancient surname might have been?

I descend from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Killam-583 Caroline May Killam (aka: Carrie Killam) who married a MORTON

THANKS! Regards, Rhonda Morton Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Hello, Tamara,

i just want to thank you for the wonderfully descriptive notes you posted for Sibylle D'Alsace (b.1105), wife of Thierry II Dietrich Theodoric Flandre. Wonderful to come upon such thoroughness. Thanks again - John DeForest (formerly Riddell)

Hi Tamara,

My name is Connie and I live in Alabama. I am new at this DNA thing, but I'm trying to learn. :) I uploaded my raw DNA data from Ancestry to Gedmatch, and you are one of my matches. I cannot figure out how we are related, and I hope maybe you can. My kit # is LK1269622 on Gedmatch. I hope you are doing well and to hear back from you soon. Connie

Hi Tamara, you have been uploading a lot of large text blocks from Wikipedia into the comments sections of profiles. Is there any specific reason why? It is not really what those comments sections are for.

The first time I did that I received several thank you. Please feel free to remove or hide or archive that info if you do not want it on the profile. Sorry if I did something against the rules.
Hi Tamara!

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz.

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Tamara,

I can find no supporting sources for your recent comments on Nicholas Marsteller. I have birth/christening records for his children attached to his profile. No record was found for the Maria Margaretta who married Johann Daniel Warlick.

Maria Margaretta's father must be a different Nicolaus. Her FindAGrave memorial mentions that her mother is Catherina Seipel. However, it looks like the information on that memorial may not be reliable.

You may want to move those comments to a research notes section on Marie's profile as they do not belong on an unrelated profile,

Thank you.

Hi Tamara! It looks like you're uploading images from a 2011 presentation to the Andreas Killian Descendants Historical Association (the ones with blue background) but your comment on the image I checked was "fam photo". Do you have William's permission to post these pages piecemeal instead of as he prepared them? If you do, please let me know & update the comments in the images to say so. Otherwise, I'll need to remove them from WikiTree.

Cheers, Liz (a George descendant)

Hi Tamara,

Thanks for adopting those profiles that I noticed you adopting, but unfortunately you are unable to edit these at this time. If you wish to re-orphan them until such time as you have qualified for pre-1500 certification, please just remove yourself from the profile by going to the privacy tab , scrolling down and click remove yourself. If you need help. Happy to help if you need it. Thanks, David. Ranger on Duty.
