Biography
Status of Ancestry Information
The table below summarizes the extent of the information on my ancestry that is included in Wikitree. For the ten generations previous to mine, it shows the number of possible ancestors, the number of these ancestors who are currently identified/documented included in WikiTree, and the percentage of the possible ancestors who are identified here. Cumulative (overall) totals are also provided. Generations 8, 9, and 10 are not up to date.
"Identified" ancestors include some with unknown last names at birth. It also includes some questionable identifications and people that I have not researched.

*There are several duplicates (people who appear on multiple branches of the tree) in these generations (see "Endogamy" section below for a list). These people are counted more than once in the numbers for both possible ancestors and identified ancestors. Cumulative numbers of distinct individuals in my WikiTree-documented ancestry are: 332 at generation 8, 543 at generation 9, and 882 at generation 10.

Endogamy
Autosomal DNA matching with me may be complicated by the number of ancestors who are represented in my lineage more than once. These distant ancestors' DNA may be somewhat amplified in my DNA. Also, if the same ancestor appears on different branches of my family tree, that may reduce the chance of triangulating a particular DNA segment to a particular common ancestor.

May have found something. A James Gardner married a Mary Moran on September 11, 1736; a James Gardner married a Cotte Burgoyne on December 24, 1737. Both marriages were in Boston.

The Gardner families I can find in Boston was Silvester and Ann Gardner. They had a son James in 1739. There was a John and Mary having children about the same time as well as a Joseph and Hannah.
The "Gardner's" of Hingham were using Garnet at that time.

Hey Ellen, No on Katherine Gardner. James did not have a daughter by that name. Benjamin did but his daughter is accounted for b. 1731. Janis

The following message from Ellen Smith was posted on the WikiTree profile of Anna Conrad.
Should the date of death be 1772?

Ellen and Lisa are 10th cousins once removed
Hey hun,
First I have to say I am impressed that you are able to clear profiles like that one in my question. I have seen some worse where there are generations and one has dates and then no one else does.
I am sorry if I removed that info. I did not mean to remove any marriage info.

Thank you. =) I have found several jeanette Bogarts at that new family search you directed me too. Im going through all you have said to make sure I have the correct one per the information I know of. I am so thrilled to at least have a place to start. ((Hugs))

Hi Ellen, Got your comment on Nathaniel Beal. It's much more likely the age at death is wrong which was common of the time era. If born in 1629 he would of been about 16 years old when married which was unheard of for men back then.
