Heather Marie Kushion was born January 20, 1989 in Saginaw General Hospital in the city of Saginaw, Michigan. She lived in Hemlock, Michigan in a modular home until she was six years old. Following the passing of Great-Grandma Bell, her father purchased the 40 acre Bell farm in Swan Creek Township that had been in the family for over a century. For the next year or so he and his uncles helped renovate the small one-story farm house his maternal grandfather had built into a one-and-a-half story, 2,100 square foot home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage and a wrap-around porch.
Heather graduated from St. Charles High School in 2007 and enrolled in Delta Community College the following Fall. While there she earned an Associates with a focus on the arts and computer science. She then transferred to Saginaw Valley State University, where she earned her Bachelor's.
Heather has made many contributions to FamilySearch. She has taken an AncestryDNA test and practices a source-first methodology.
Her hobbies include:
Heather has been an active genealogist since 2006. Her interest started after stumbling upon a copy of Mary Locke's genealogy research on the Bell and Wenzel families and her father's high school family report detailing the life of his grandparents. Although she has only one sibling, both of her parents were from large families. Her mother was one of six full siblings and had at least five half-siblings all of which she refuses to speak to in preference for her foster family. Heather's father was one of four but her paternal grandfather was one of seven and grandmother one of 15.

Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree over the weekend. I hope you’ll join us for the Source-a-thon this fall.
Kind regards,

I am a Wildman descendant and notice that this site does not have my direct line. It breaks off somewhere with my 4th or 5th great grandfather. I am new to all of this so am looking for all the info I can to trace my line as far back as possible. I believe we are related. I hope to add my GED files and DNA to this site soon. When that is done, could you look to see if we are directly related or cousins please
I saw your comments in your profile and the ancestor in question and just a heads up but you will likely have to get 1700’s certified to continue your line on here. It’s an extra precaution WikiTree takes to make sure the people that add or edit distant relatives aren’t just copy pasting from erroneous trees and know to carefully back things up with sources.
It’s mostly just a quiz to make sure you’re paying attention and isn’t all that hard.
I also suggest finding sources through FamilySearch as it is preferred. Ancestry.com sources are best avoided unless you plan on transcribing fully or uploading images since they are stuck behind a paywall and most people who use it don’t go through the effort of transcribing the content they are referencing. I’ve also found that links to Ancestry tend to be hidden by WikiTree, likely because of this.
Anyway, hoping you and yours are doing well and keeping healthy! :)
I noticed that you were currently following the CEMETERIES tag, but were not yet a member of the Cemeteries Global Cemeteries Project.If you are interested in more details about the project, or are just ready to sign up, please head on over to our G2G Welcome Post for more information.
