Biography

I graduated from Northwestern University in 2022 with an MA in Mental Health Counseling.

I'm particularly interested in exploring and confirming my links to the Lees of Virginia back to England, as well as finding out more about my Fochtman ancestors in Germany.

Other spellings of Fochtman I've seen on documents include Fouchtman, Fouchman, and Foughtman, among others. Perhaps the spelling variations have led to the difficulty in finding information, or maybe Fochtman is actually the derivative of another German spelling.

My research has also shown connections to various lines of European nobility and aristocracy.

It is also worth noting that I am not biologically/genetically a Lanham. That is my father's, stepfather's last name. His biological father's surname was Jolley.

My Palatine Migrant relative is Johannes Hans Georg "Hans" Schuck der Junger, my sixth great-grandfather.


DNA Information

Genetically, and across multiple testing services, I have the highest population percentages from England, Scotland, Germany, Wales, Scandinavia (Sweden, Denmark, and Finland), and Ireland, descending in that order. Trace DNA amounts have been identified from populations such as Burosho, Africa, East Asia, Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish, Romani, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Maternal Haplogroup: X2
Paternal Haplogroup: I-S2606

My father completed a 23andMe DNA test, which is what provided me with the Y-DNA haplogroup information. His results also showed Italian and Eastern European DNA, along with <1% Egyptian ancestry. I found this useful as my DNA did not show any of those populations, so it has helped add validity when I have found ancestors from those regions.

Thank you for participating in past Thons as a member of the Toddlin' Tortoises. If you decide to participate again in January's upcoming Connect a Thon, the registration this time will be somewhat different. (You can read about it here.) We would love to have you join us again, but whatever team you decide to join will be lucky to have you!

Thanks so much for being part of the Toddlin' Tortoises Team for the April 2023 Source-a-Thon. Every source or citation verifying the information on a profile, helps make for a healthier Tree!
Hertyl and Spertyl Slowsky Tortoises face each other, with a large gold winner's tro-phy between them.  Beneath the adult Tortoises are the baby Slowsky twins, Liddyll, and Iddyll, holding the words "Wonderful WikiTreer" between them, and behind the phrase, su-perimposed upon the trophy, is the WikiTree DNA globe icon.  Beneath the entire tableau is the phrase "We're all winners in the end".

Thank you so much for signing up with the Toddlin' Tortoises in the January 2023 Connect-a-Thon. We may be slower than many, but we are all still winners!
Hertyl and Spertyl Slowsky Tortoises face each other, with the words “Toddlin’ Tortoises” above their heads, the words “think everyone is a” below that.  Beneath that, and between Hertyl and Spertyl is the WikiTree globe — superimposed with the words "Wonderful WikiTreer" — and beneath the entire tableau are the words "and that We're all winners in the end".  Because we are.  Winners.

Hi Katie, thank you for following Arkansas! We do have an Arkansas project, as you saw with Member of the Week Jimmy Honey. My family is from the SW Corner of the ARLATX. Holler if I can help in any way.

Katie, thanks so much for being part of the Toddlin' Tortoises Team for the July 2022 Connect-a-Thon. Every well-constructed profile added helps to grow a healthier Tree!


Two tortoises, Hertyl and Spertyl, dressed in their spiffy Connect-a-Thon Tuxedo coats, the one on the left holding a top hat in "hand", and the one on the right with a glass of champagne.  Between them is a multi-carriage wood or coal burning steam train, near the wheels of which are the words "slow train".  Above the train is the WikiTree DNA tree logo, across which are the words "Wonderful WikiTreer". Floating above the logo are the words "Toddlin' Tortoises", and at the bottom of the image is the phrase "We're all winners in the end"  — because we are.  All winners.
Hertyl and Spertyl just want to say: "What a Wonderful WikiTreer you are".

Hello again! I posted a comment two weeks ago and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well! Do you want to remain in the Germany Project? If I don’t hear back from you by the end of November, I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, always welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.

Best wishes, Traci ~ Germany Project co-leader

Hi again,

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!

If I don’t hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.

Best wishes,

Hi Traci! Sorry, grad school and work have kept me pretty preoccupied here lately. I would still like to remain a member of the Germany Project, please. Thank you!

Thanks for responding Katie. The only participation requirement for the Germany Project is answering at check-in time - which you just did. We're glad you're staying with us!

Hi Katie! I was running a check of the project's categories and see you're still in Category:Magna Carta Profiles... you shouldn't be (unless you are REALLY old - the project covers folks born between about 1170 and 1700).

Please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Magna_Carta_Stickers#sticker for stickers appropriate for people living today to replace the {Magna Carta Project} sticker you are displaying (which a project-specific maintenance sticker that adds the category).

Thanks!

Thanks

Lol. Thank you Liz! I've updated it :).

Thanks Katie! Your stickers all look good now... well they looked good before too, just had you categorized wrong :D

Cheers, Liz

Hi Katie! The Magna Carta Project sticker you added is one that is restricted to project-managed or -monitored profiles (see details at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Magna_Carta_Project ). The project has tailored Descendant stickers you can use instead - see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Magna_Carta_Stickers#sticker for options. Give me a holler if you need help (they're not quite as straightforward as the Magna Carta Project one).

If you're interested in joining the project, check out the "How to Join" box on the project page, which includes a link to the current G2G welcome post: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Magna_Carta

Cheers, Liz

Oh thank you! It's kind of difficult finding all the links to various badges and stickers, so I appreciate the clarification!

Hello Katie,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz! Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, thus coordinating with others is essential.

Please refer to the new recommended sources for citing Pre-1700’s sources. when working on profiles of that time period.

For questions, just ask.
