Biography
I'm a professional business consultant who picked up the family archivist mantle in my youth - collecting stories, names, genealogies, and family historical documents - in an effort to understand better who we are and what impact we have had throughout history.
My focus has been on several family mysteries throughout the years - gaps in a family line, taboo subjects, and unexplained (perhaps inexcusable) behavior of ancestors. This includes the Little, Bennett, Parsons, Ledbetter, Pickett, Leake, Steele, Wall, Crawford, Covington, Dunn and Harris family lines. My maternal lines from Louisiana are still a challenge - Ardoin, Veillon, Lafleur, etc. - since their origins are not as clear cut as one might imagine.
I have completed many autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-chromosome DNA tests. I look forward to sharing this knowledge and learning more from traditional practitioners of genealogy as I contribute to WikiTree.

My name is Sarah and I’m the Project Coordinator for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project.

Both fathers have different names. Mothers also. Birth years and locations are different Siblings do not match at all. Nothing I see on their profiles match except the names and death year.

Yes it was fun going through court houses. So much fun I still do it and yes I have found some surprises along the way. One time I found written in a deed book, telling how the Ohio River flowed backwards during the earthquake of 1811. It said about that time the first steam boat came down the river, making a lot of noise. The noise from the boat and the cracks in the ground made the townspeople climb into trees so the demons coming out of the ground couldn't get to them. Anyway nobody in the courthouse knew anything about it. Court houses are fun sometimes if you don't get sidetracked. Best Wishes John R. Noel
Thank you for joining our ONS project.

Good luck with your research. Maria
Thanks for your note on my page. I am new to all this, but am happy to help if I can. Once I get my data import finalized, I think I'll have a better idea where I stand. Dan (Parsons-5429)
