Biography
I have been an amateur genealogist for 20 years & have written several family histories. However, after years of research I still have many unanswered questions on some of my Trees, so I thought I would try working within WikiTree. After working in private on my trees, I find that I love the idea of collaborating on a World Tree & think it is a marvelous idea.
My passion for genealogy began when my father died in 1985, and I realized how little I knew of about him. I vowed to change that & the years of research and discovery have wielded so many amazing discoveries - things I could never have dreamed.
In the early years I was fortunate to live near the wonderful Wisconsin Historical Archives on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It was there I found a beautiful genealogy of a previously unknown family line - the Ely's -- and I was hooked. I can still remember the day I first saw the names of my great grandparents in the Index of that book. Later on, I would work between the University of Wisconsin and Higginson's Genealogical Books in Salem, MA to get that old family history into their book list so it could be discovered by other researchers. Now I know that people can buy it every day & that gives me much pleasure.
My husband and I have been lucky to live in many different places, so we have traveled to cemeteries and libraries all over the country in search of ancestors. As I get older, the world wide web makes it easier to search for records - which I appreciate. I am not sure it is more fun - but it is easier.

If you looked it up in the Coe book, then you probably linked him to the right Benjamin Coe; Benjamin was a very popular name for Coes but that Ben and Daniel appear to be in the same area at the same time. There is a Daniel in the list of Ben's children copied from the Coe Book. Welcome to the Coes on Wikitree.
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 US History Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag 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! :-)
