Wikitree Notes

I welcome additions to profiles that I have added or manage. Please feel free to request to be on the trusted list or a manager for profiles I have added. I actually want cousins or others to be the managers for relatives that they are closer to than I am.

I frequently edit place names to replace abbreviations with the spelled out name. Because we are an international community, I want to facilitate communication by avoiding abbreviations that may not be understood across borders.

Feel free to correct my typos. It is easier for me to see the typos of others than my own and I appreciate corrections!

Kathryn Morse is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

Crown of St Edward

The I have two graduate degrees, have lived in several states and held several jobs. I have worked at every level of government and taught school, including being an adjunct professor in political science. However, I've been known to drop everything to stay with my sick mother or live near my daughter to help with grandchildren.

I hope that there is such a thing as reincarnation because there are so many wonderful things to do that you just can't do them all in one lifetime.

I like to work on the family genealogy, grow flowers for bees and butterflies and share things with my granddaughters. I enjoy scifi/fantasy novels and historical fiction.

Working on a public family tree is my gift to my family, close and far away in both space and time.

I like your personal profile. Especially the "Relationships to US Presidents" section. I've been keeping a list of ancestors in my "Scratch Pad" so using your example I created a section titled "Craig's Notable Ancestors". I'm including in this section Magna Carta Sureties, Passengers on The Mayflower, US Presidents, Pequot Indian War of 1637, US Revolutionary War 1775-1783, The Black Hawk War 1831-1832, American Civil War 1861-1865. Check it out sometime.

Hi Kathryn, I'll make a note to watch for a Joel Morse born around 1782, as you requested. Do you have a place of birth? I see are a few close matches in Morse & Leavitt.

I also have a brick wall ancestor, Stephen, born in New York around 1812. My Y-dna indicates he's a descendant of either Anthony or William William of Newbury, Mass.

Can you be more specific?  Yes, I've done the research.  The sources seem pretty straight forward.  I can add more details if you think that's necessary.  My Mores line is Samuel>Daniel>Samuel>Samuel>Sarah Woodcock.
Oh Thank you on the location cats.

Hi Katheryn Thank you for following Arkansas and your interest in improving the presence of Arkansas on Wikitree. Let me know, please, exactly what you are interested in. I'm particularly interested in the SW corner where my family lived. Lots of Boyettes et al in my collaterals.

Hi Kathryn:

The final count is on this link for each team and individual member below. We came in 10th place and had worked on a total of 2,117 profiles.

You had 135 and came in 5th place for our team. Thank you so much for participating and being a part of the Super Sweeper's team this last weekend!!

Hi Kathryn, You may be correct about our shared segments, but my family lines have been in Virginia for many years, so Gedmatch shows many matches with me at 4th-6th cousin level whom I have no idea how we are connected.

Thanks for the help with Needham, Sr. I added some info on Needham, Jr's mother.
