Biography
Born in Montana, grew up on a farm in Minnesota, became an engineer, currently in the Chicagoland area. My dad's side is German-from-Russia, my mother is half German from Germany, half English-Swedish-Scottish-? My wife is Bulgarian.
Since joining the WikiTree family in Oct, 2017, my mantra has been slow and steady. It took over a year to reach 1500 contributions, hit 2000 contributions in March of 2019, 4000 in February of 2021 and 6000 in March, 2022.
I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2006. Pretty decent at transcribing 18th and 19th century English handwriting.
Notable (for me) Relations
- Fifth cousin, six times removed from Samuel F.B. Morse, painter and inventor of the Morse Code
- Third cousin, four times removed from Dick Broadwell, an outlaw who rode with the Dalton Gang
- 5x greatgrandson of Major Joseph Lindsley, who served as Major in the American Revolution
- Sixth cousin to actor Kevin Bacon
- Seventh cousin once removed from Barbara Bush.
- Eleventh cousin (!) once removed from Loudon Snowden Wainwright, American writer and grandfather of Rufus. Interestingly enough , the connection does not go thru my Wainwright ancestors.

My 4x great grandfather, Eugene Gilchrist (1822-1902) was the brother of Mary Gilchrist Broadwell. I was adding Eugene's siblings today and saw that I can't add her because she's already in WikiTree. I am new at this, and thought perhaps you could add her parents, Eugene Gilchrist and Sarah Clark Gilchrist to her profile?
I’m your third cousin 1xremoved in the Lidströmline.
Would be nice to get in contact with you. I’ve Got a photo from the familyfarm From ab 1890 where you’re grandmothers grandfather Karl ” Charles” Lidström was born. The rescidential house is still standing ( under renovation for the moment)
Best regards!

Do you have Ungerecht relatives, or/and have seen that name before ? -It seems to be an unusual name, and hard to find.
Also, my family and I were very good friends with an elderly Neff couple in Westmoreland, NH. They were Unitarians, and Mr. Emory Neff had been a college Professor. They've both since passed away, but their children live in various parts of the world. Maybe they're distant cousins of yours ?
Ale Trtnik fixed the {Unsourced}} instructions. Thank you for pointing it out so it could be addressed! You're a great WikiTreer. :-) Regards, Natalie
you will see the template page with parameters. I will ask Ale if he can improve the Unsourced Profiles page instructions, though, as it is a bit confusing. Thanks for pointing that out! Natalie

It's always fun to discover new connections in the Swedish realm.
Thanks for acknowledging me as a member of the Broadwell Name Study. I hope it will help both of us as well as the tree at large. I have been on WikiTree longer than you, but that doesn't mean I know much. There is so much to learn that I only count myself a little better than a complete newby! I will send you my email by private message...
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
Thank you for being a Wikitreer,
Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader
Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles.
It looks like German Roots Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag German_Roots will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Do you have some historically-significant ancestors? Look at the list of active projects to see if one fits your needs.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
