Love you cousin <3 Here is our link on here so you can see all the commons between us and the two ways I relate through Alice (Probably both through Dora, lol). You know how my family loves endogamy ;)https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Relationship&action=calculate&person1_name=Showell-64&person2_name=Sizemore-991

Hello Karen,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

Hi Karen,

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week so I am checking in to see how it is going.

Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.

I'm here to help with questions about how WikiTree works. Click my name to send me a private message or ask in the comment section of my page. I'll get back to you by the end of the day.

PS Tags are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag and links to resources. To get the best results, add new tags without the dashes for each surname and spelling variation of interest. You can have up to 20 total.

P.S. I noticed you said you are "new to all of this". Welcome to the world of genealogy! Here is a good page to get started:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:How_to_Get_Started_with_Genealogy

We were all novices at some point, so please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it! We're here to help!

Kind regards,

Vicky Majewski ~ WikiTree Greeter

Thanks for volunteering!

You are now an active member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family.

I recommend starting with our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you create your family profiles. Building your family tree on WikiTree will help you connect with others who have the same ancestors.

Need help? Just ask!

Above all, have FUN!  :) I hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have!

Kind regards,

Vicky Majewski ~ WikiTree Greeter & Member since August 2015

P.S. If you ever get a "Page Not Found" error when you click a link in a WikiTree email, you can usually find a functioning link in the public comments section of your profile page.

Hi Karen, and thank you for volunteering!

Before I can confirm your membership, I’ll need you to add a little more information about your genealogical interests.

You can do this by editing your tags/comments, adding a couple of sentences to your biography, or posting a brief message in the public comments section of your profile page.

Information on Tags can be found at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tags

Once we know you are here to help grow the tree, a greeter will be happy to confirm your membership. If you have questions about WikiTree, please feel free to contact me via my profile page.

Have a look at my profile page by clicking my name above to see what tags and tag comments look like.

Thanks, David ~ WikiTree Greeter
