Biography
I Debra aka Deboriah Greeson was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and moved to Wilmer Hutchins at the age of 10. So I am a City County Slicker, a little mix of both. I am very outgoing and friendly to a fault some might say. My raising though a bit dysfunctional taught me many things that I find useful on a daily basis. When I was 16, after my parents made me give up my only child that I would ever have up for adoption, I left home and hitch-hiked all over the country. Some might say I was a little wild and they would be right. I did a lot of crazy things, met a lot of people both good and bad and came close to death on more than one occasion. My past has served me well in that I learned from it. The choices that I made then may have hurt me but in the long run they made me a better person. The things I regret most are the things that I may have done that hurt somebody else. Those things I am truly sorry for. We don't always think about how the choices we make may affect the people we love. Now I am a Christian and I consider myself a pretty conservative person. A far cry from what I was back then! I live in a small town and go to a small Assembly of God church. I sing in the praise and worship team and I also make videos of the sermons. Since I am creative and love to do arts and crafts I am also the one that they call on to decorate when we have special fund raisers or holiday parties. I am an eclectic person in that I have a lot of interests and I tend to get too many irons in the fire. My church activities are a major part of my life but I also enjoy more than one art venue including mixed media, collage, making jewelry; macramé, wire wrap and stringing, mosaics, and more. I also buy and sell things and do sell on ebay, etsy, and spreesy as well. Yes I am a junker and come by it naturally because my dad owned a wrecking yard. I love to read, write, and learn and am always researching something. If it is helping my husband with the garden through reading gardening tips, doing a bible study, reading about historical figures, and just generally looking things up because I want to know! I love learning!

Thanks Debra for your reference. It was already on the profile - the only source by the way. He is also an ancestor of mine and I can surely appreciate any additionnal source.

Hello!
Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified! Now it's time to pick a project that best fits the pre-1700 profiles you'll be working on.
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Do you have some historically-significant ancestors? Look at the list of active projects to see if one fits your needs.
Once you find a project that interests you, visit their project page for more information and to find out how to join. You can also use the Following link to add the project tag to your profile, and you'll be kept up to date on any activity for that project.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

Hey Deboriah,
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. Mags

Deboriah, have you checked the contribution list of that profile manager to see when he/she made an edit the last time? Maybe the person is no longer active. Is the file is open or public? If open, you can add information by clicking on the edit tab. If public, you'll need to be on the trusted list to add to or correct the edit page, but you can still add data to the profile's public bulletin board.
The help page for unresponsive profile managers can guide you in the procedure for gaining access to the profile.

Welcome to our community, Deboriah. Do you mean you have duplicate profiles to those already on WikiTree? If that's the case, add your line up to the original WikiTree profile, but please don't add a duplicate. That takes up two spaces in our system even after a merge takes place.
Let's say you've added your line up to your great-grandfather, but your g-g-grandfather is already on WikiTree. You go to your g-g-grandfather's profile on WikiTree, scroll down until you get to the orange box on the left that says, "If you're a family member request to join the Trusted List." Click on that. The profile manager will hopefully add you pretty soon so that one or the other of you can connect your great-grandfather to your g-g-grandfather. :)

Thank you! I have some family on here and am trying to add them to my tree. Do I just go ahead and enter it as a separate person and merge them later?
