Biography
I was born at Lackland Air Force base, my Father was from Greenville, Tn, my mother from St John's, Newfoundland, I have first cousins from all four corners of N. America. Being an AF brat, I have lived in many states and most of my childhood in Nfld. when my father was stationed in Nfld. Pepperrell Air Force Base in St Johns and Harmon AFB in Stephenville , Nfld. When my father went to Japan we lived with my Grandmother from 18 months to 3 years old. again when I was in 3rd grade and 4th grade, 5th - 7th went to school on base at Harmon. When the base closed we were stationed in Dover Dl. where I met my former husband and moved to Iowa in 1970 where I still live. I have 4 children and 13 grandchildren and want to leave them a book of ancestors, for them to know where they come from. I have found that most of my ancestors have been in N. America from the early 1600"s. I am using this site in the hope to find 2 families who lived and died in Newfoundland. Ann Turner( 1850-1911) and John Kane (1838-1908), My Grandmother Anastasia Dunphy Kean told me that a grandparent (first gen)came from (born )Ireland,. I hope I can find them I was divorced from James J Koch 28 Mar 1997 we had 4 children, 1 daughter and 3 sons. Steve Zach is my life partner, not legally married, starting in 2002, living together from

We are 8th cousins, I love tracing connections, we are all related. Thanks again Mary
I've removed the image https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Kean-931?title=Image:Kean-931.jpg from the profile of Mary Kean https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kean-931. There are a few reasons why we don't want to upload images of vital statistics registries: They can cause copyright issues for one, and when registries refer to multiple people, it can potentially lead to problems with lots of duplicate images being uploaded.
The best way to add sources to a profile (particularly from free, indexed sites like FamilySearch or FindAGrave) is to use the provided citation. They prominently have a "cite this record" with the url and record details that you can copy and paste.
There is some general documentation here:
and some specific to the Canada project here:
In fact, I'd recommend joining the Canada project, via the Trans Canada Trail to learn some of the cool tricks to sources and biographies at WikiTree:

And it must have been something related to the Ancestry goof that gave me Henry B. Ottinger and Susannah Nehs as the parents of Rebecca. I've had that relationship listed as a big question mark for a couple years now.
I appreciate the connection you initiated.
I have not had my DNA analyzed and am not sure I ever will.
Thanks for creating pre-1700 profiles like Agnes Christina (unknown) Baur (abt.1660-abt.1711), Elisha Hammer (abt.1700-abt.1798) and Elizabeth Unknown (abt.1700-abt.1798).
Per our community standards, pre-1700 profiles must be sourced to be created and Ancestry Trees are not sources in and of themselves, although they may contain sources.
Before making additional pre-1700 profiles, please go back to these two and add whatever sources you have to support their information. If you need help finding sources, the US Southern Colonies Project is a good starting point.
Thanks.

But our sources are meant to help the next person retrace your steps. From what you wrote here, I'm at a loss of how to find the source information as it seems you included what the source said, but not what the source was. Please elaborate on where you got this information. Was it a book? A website? Give as much information as possible so another person could easily relocate the information you already found.

PS Thanks for your contributions so far. Please do return to the profiles you create to add more biographical details and sources -- this is the best way to create an interesting, accurate, and well-rounded story of your family. The easiest way to find info and sources is to use the handy RootsSearch link on the right side of any profile. Learn more about sources here. Also, I noticed that you are using info from Ancestry and wanted to share the FAQ on adding stable links to Ancestry records and images.
I am new to this site and I do appreciate any and all help I can get. So far I have found what I have right and what I have needed to change. I will continue to learn about the site and what I can do better.
You may want to check out the resources of the Ireland project or the Canada project.
Drop me a note anytime.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The Virginia or the Germany Project may fit your current research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Have questions? Ask in the comments section of my profile.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
