Hi! 😊 My name is Greta. I was born in Tennessee in the year of 1983. I'm a Pisces and an INFJ. I enjoy: knitting dishcloths, doing genealogy and related stuff, collecting coins, surfing the internet, coding, creating websites, playing all kinds of games, listening to music, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, blogging, science, psychology, tarot, astrology, birth charts, feminism, and making lists. I've always been told I'm weird and I proudly accept it. I have eclectic interests. Those are just a few of my many interests.

I've been doing genealogical research since the late 1990's, while I was in high school. My interest has increased more since my mom passed away in 2017. I have found out a lot more family tree information since she has been gone. Since finding more information out about my family tree, I have realized that I love history when I didn't use to as a child.

I love WikiTree, ancestry/genealogy, DNA, going to cemeteries to see where ancestors are buried, and ancient ancestry. I love finding cousins and ancestors especially on WikiTree and through DNA. My favorite genealogical related websites are: 23andMe, Ancestry, FamilySearch, FamilyTreeDNA, FindAGrave, GEDmatch, GeneticAffairs, Geni, MyHeritage, LivingDNA, YourDNAPortal, GenePlaza, DNAgenics, MyTrueAncestry, DNATribes, and of course WikiTree. I enjoy watching the "Genetic Detective" (CeCe Moore). I enjoy all kinds of genealogy blogs and topics related to genealogy such as: DNA, ancient ancestry, etc. I enjoy Geni and WikiTree related apps including: History Link, Ancestor Listmaker, Ancestors, and of course, I enjoy the relationship finders on Geni and WikiTree.

Discord Chat

I am on Discord and I'm on a few project channels. Feel free to say hi to me on there. Feel free to send me a friend request on there. My username on there is: Greta#4479

Blog

I have a genealogy blog that is new and located here: https://ancestorjunkie.blogspot.com Its called, "Genealogically".

Projects

Project Coordinator: Membership Team for the US Southern Colonies Project

Project Coordinator: Germany Project

I am the Team Leader for the Tennessee Cemeteries Team in the Global Cemeteries Project.

I am in a lot of projects. I'm especially interested in Projects that have to do with my ancestors. I hope to be a Leader someday.

I am also in these projects: Global Cemeteries, Notables, Palatine Migration, United States: Tennessee, Virginia, Tree Huggers, Ambassadors, Accessibility, Finland, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Nordic, and Southern Pioneers. I'm a Greeter, Mentor, and Ranger. I do plan on joining a few more projects. Currently, I'm most active in the Greeters and Mentors Projects.

Why so many projects? Any contributions, even if it's not daily and small, still helps the Projects and WikiTree. WikiTree is about collaboration. I love WikiTree so much!

I also run the Hodge/Hodges One Name Study.

Hi

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Greetings from the Military and War Project. We are doing the six month check-in with members.. Have you been active in the last six months? Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Military and War Project that you respond to these check-ins.

Hello Greta,

During the winter, the Nordic Project performed check-ins, sent as a private message from your profile. You are one of those members who has not replied, and this is a last chance to get in touch and let me know if you like to continue as member in the Nordic Project.

Please answer this comment, and get in touch by sending me a private message. If we have not heard from you within a month you will be removed from the Nordic google group and your badge will be removed.

If you have not received any check-in emails, you might want to check that your email address for WikiTree is one you actually still use.

Thank you!

Hi Greta, looks like we are both descendants of

John Wheeler (bef.1591-abt.1670). I checked your link to Charlemagne Carolingian (abt.0748-0814). Turns out he is my 34th great grandfather. How do I put that link in my profile like you did?

posted by Byron Davis
Hi Byron. Yes, this relation is correct. Add the following sticker to your profile: Template:*Charlemagne descendant/nl*

Just remove the space before the "*'s" in Charlemagne and add brackets: {{ }}

Hi Greta,

Thank you so much for all your contributions to WikiTree in the last six months, and especially to the Wales Project. It’s been wonderful to have you as part of the team as we work together to increase the quality and quantity of Welsh Profiles.

I have you down as being on the Bio Builders Team. Is this right? How are things going? Do you have any questions? What can we do to support you? Would you like to change any of your teams? Do you want to continue in the Wales Project moving forwards?

I also see you aren’t in on the Discord server. You’d be very welcome to join us where we have live text and voice conversations which really helps with collaboration. Just let me know and I can send you an invitation.

I look forward to hearing back from you with all the above.‹‹Thanks once again,‹‹Olivia, Project Coordinator for Wales :-)

Hello

It’s time for a Project check-in!

Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.

What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?

This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

Hi Greta, I may have run into an old message from you. You already are listed on Province of North Carolina (1712-1776) Team. As I posted before, if you add a new person, please add their email address to the page where you are posting. (that is under the Privacy topic) There will come a time when I want to do a group email, and use that.

I had the primary managers originally and US Southern Colonies as a manager. Plus the page is privacy white. With that, even without being a manager you are able to edit/add. It is only when pvc Green when everyone needs to be listed.

Hi Greta,

Hi Greta,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Amy, Joan & Lizzie.

Greta,

Thanks for asking about Hicks, Jackson and Walker.

My Jackson starts with Rebecca Jane (Jackson) Corliss (1864-1944), my Grt-grandma's mother. They go from Nebraska, back through Iowa, Indiana & Virginia.

Hicks and Walker are in the descendants of my 5th-Grt-grandma, Nancy Ann (Fletcher) Halsey (1791-1872). My tree was heavily lop-sided on her first husband's side, Cornelius Lake, and nothing for her other three husbands. William Walker was her 3rd husband and they had four children in Ohio, a daughter married a Hicks. Following those lines has been really interesting, many profiles already connected on FamilySearch. I have been working on Nancy Ann's descendants during COVID because my other projects that require library resources are stalled.

Hi Steve! I checked my relationship to your relatives and there's no relationship. Thanks for telling me about those lines.

Hi Greta,

We're sad to inform you that the Black Sheep Project is being dissolved. All BSP's subprojects will be moved in pieces under the Notables Project as categories and perhaps as Teams, depending on interest. Witch Trials will become a subproject of Notables.

Please email either of us if you have any questions and if you'd like to join the Notables project.

Hi Greta. I saw that you thanked me for upgrading my account.

I noticed on your profile your extensive experience with DNA. I have one question and a comment. I have mtDNA and Y DNA from LivingDNA. Both are associated with brickwalls (the Y likely busted by autosomal matches). On GEDmatch, I recorded my mtDNA and Y DNA summaries in my profile. On my ancestry and myheritage trees, I add screenshots of my LivingDNA details to appropriate maternal and paternal ancestors, but those images don't survive gedcom imports. What is the best way on Wikitree to document my mt and Y DNA?

The comment is that on GEDmatch I added two more autosomal DNA kits generated by merging my Ancestry and LivingDNA kits using the program DNAkitstudio. This added significantly more snps (likely due to LivingDNA being an oddball) and slightly increased match cms. I'm not sure if any database other than GEDmatch would recognize those. The two matching methods (position and only common) produced virtually the same results.

Hi Jim! In response to your DNA question: Go here: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:DNATests and add the mtDNA and yDNA using the drop down menu "Add Test".

You can only add the tests if they are your own DNA test (unless you are managing a deceased family members DNA).

As for your LivingDNA kit, you can use "other yDNA" if your companies aren't listed. As we don't take raw DNA there is no concern about it being recognized.

Hi Greta,

Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. Thank you for all your work on English Profiles and in particular your work on the Orphan Trail Team.

These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy to continue with the Orphan Trail. Thank you again on behalf of all the Project Leaders for everything you do.

Lizzie

Hi Gretta,

As you will have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the Wales Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know which team(s) you would like to be in.

Please can you also send me your e-mail address? I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders, are in the Google Group, and receive an invitation to join our Discord server.

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Wales Project that you respond to these check-ins.

Many thanks,

Susie, Wales Project Co-Leader

As Geo Robinson said in the last comment. "Thank you for your welcoming e-mail. I am still at a complete loss on how to use the Wiki Tree site." I see he made that comment 5 months ago and hope I don't have to wait 5 months to find our how to sign the honor code and contribute information to wikihtree.

Hi,

The Global Cemeteries Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Cemetery Teams? If not, is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!

We use Google Groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their follwed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (CEMETERIES) so you don't miss any disucssions in G2G.

Last, but not least, we would like to thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and let you konw that any ideas or suggestions for improvement you may have for the Global Cemeteries Project would greatly appreciated!

I look forward to hearing form you soon!

Steve ~Global Cemeteries Project Leader

You're welcome and thanks for your contributions too. You do a lot more on WikiTree than I do.

Hi Greta was posting my fathers Mom & her father only to realize they already exist. Menke 261 & Menke 241. I'm stuck in how you merge. you are so different that Family Search. My Tree is on there already.

Please Help when you have time Thanks Dorothy Zar

Hi Dorothy! If you go to the bottom of the two profiles, you will see a section "Matches and Merges". Click on the link "initiate a merge" on the profile with a lower wiki ID number.

That will take you to the page where you have your ID as ID1, then add the other ID in ID2, then click on merge, and that will merge them together.

I hope this helps, any problems, please let me know.
