I’m sorry if you have tried to contact me and I haven’t gotten back to you!
A few minor emergencies in my personal life have put me weeks behind on email. If you don’t hear back from me by October 1, please contact me again.
My apologies for the delay. Carole
I have been interested in genealogy since childhood because my grandparents, great-aunts and great-uncles were wonderful family storytellers. The problem was that I didn't know which stories were true, and which were either family legends or bedtime stories never intended to be taken as actual family history.
I became more serious about genealogy from 2006 to 2007, but gave it up after coming across so many wacky online family trees. In 2013, my brother asked a question about Henry Frank Smith, our great-great-grandfather. A quick Google search showed that there were now multitudes of free internet resources, including newspaper images, cemetery records, passenger lists, and some vital records going back to the 1600s. I caught the genealogy bug again.
I discovered WikiTree in September 2013, and have been using it extensively. Now I'm volunteering as a Greeter. At this point, I'm particularly interested in tracing family who lived along the east side of the Hudson River in upstate New York. I'm also interested in family from the time of the Puritan Great Migration.
... which brings me to this.
To aid WikiTree in the administration of my account should I be incapacitated, or in the event of my death, I hereby give permission for all private profiles I'm managing to be transferred to the following WikiTreers, whether or not they are currently on the Trusted Lists:

I found out that we're 8th Cousins 2x Removed through John Partridge Jr.
We are 11th cousins sharing the same 10th great grandmother Alice (Beebe)Stratton

I recently rec'd a request from Joyce Tuells asking me to grant her 'trusted' status to William Mullins profile and forward. I'm very uneasy in doing so. Pls help.
her request: "I am a direct descendant, 12th generation, of William Mullins through his daughter, Priscilla Alden. As daughters of daughters marry, the surnames go from Alden to Pabodie, to Wiswall, to Wadsworth, to Longfellow and forward. Through John Alden we follow down through Ruth Alden, Sarah Bass, Ruth Dorman, Samuel Vinton, Ruth Vinton, Angeline Darrow, Elijah Tuells, Jr., Charles Francis Tuells and forward. I would like to preserve this history for my grandchildren. Thank you for your kind consideration, Best wishes, Joyce C. Killingsworth (Tuells-13)"
I am able to track her descendants from W Mullins thru Ruth Vinton-282 but lose her trail after that. I therefore did not grant her request. As I am not alone in this system, can this be verified by a more active genealogist? Please help or pass along to someone who can. Roland Goodwin-3259

I believe that David Bedell (Bedell-420) should be merged with David Bedell (Bedell-68). The info in Bedell-68 agrees with the info I have on Phebe Bedell's (Bedell-47) father. I'm fairly new to WikiTree, but if the merge is something that I should do, let me know. Thanks, Doug (Furman-864)
Just checking in for the Mayflower Project. Please let me know if you're still interested in being part of the project.
The Ambassadors project has been reorganizing and is looking for those who have a membership at a genealogical society, to help in spreading the word about WikiTree.
We're working on ways to improve how WikiTree connects and interacts with genealogical and local history societies. This is the kind of thing we want to do:
Are you interested in participating in some way? Do you have some ideas to share?

The ancestors are prompting me to find them.
