Hide and seek was a favorite game of mine. And my mother taught me the love of finding hidden treasure as a child, when she would take me to the Herkimer NY area to dig the 'diamonds' for which that locale is famous. So I found a kind of Nirvana when I discovered the gems of ancestry research, and it gives me great satisfaction to find hither-to unknown links of one person to another. It is often a lot of long hard work, as you well know, going down enough rabbit holes just to eliminate the wrong turns. Then voilà, if we find the right ancestor it is like finding a Diamond Rabbit! Today I have a sort of knack -- which is mostly just the time ;) -- for combining my Findagrave and WikiTree researches with my Ancestry.com resources to discover "missing links".

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz! Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, thus coordinating with others is essential.
To find a project that may fit your research interests and provide opportunities to collaborate and contribute to our global tree, please use the Pre-1700 Projects list.
Please refer to the new recommended sources for citing Pre-1700’s sources. when working on profiles of that time period.

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.
Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.
Once you add profiles to WikiTree they become searchable and in my experience persons interested in these profiles will contact you and may provide further information to expand your family tree.
Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.
Ludwig :)
