==Biography==
I came for the skeletons and stayed for the rich history. I love genealogy. It can sometimes get messy, but to be able to piece the history of what brought my family to America and how they helped to form this country amazes me to no end. I began getting curious about my ancestors when my father told me my paternal 3 great-grandfather Higgins-5157 David Jordan Higgins had written a book in his 100th year of life entitled Human Nature a Psychlogical Study. Not only that, but he has his own chapter referenced in the book, 'Efficiency of Life' written by Andrew Malcolm Morrison. On the other hand, in a Civil War pension file I found an ancestor who tried to impersonate his deceased brother in order to collect his pension. In another I found 3 letters from my great-grandfather protesting the awarding of his father's pension to his stepmother. Most recently, thanks to so many wonderful Wikitree-ers and the availability of sources, I've been able to learn that my 10th and 11th great-grandfathers came to America on the Mayflower.
I've always loved a good mystery and I've found the deeper I dig, the richer it gets!

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Mayflower Project or the US History Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tags Mayflower and or United_States_History will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
