I finally got around to joining up. I added all my related Standley/Stanley profiles to the study, out to my 4th cousins.
YDNA has shown that I have very distant cousins who have yet another spelling variation that you should definitely add to the study: STANDLEE
Thanks!
Always great to find a living relative! I'm also surprised that the DNA match isn't stronger. Thanks for reaching out! Jen
I would like to thank you for your response to my G2G post. I appreciate that you took the time to try and understand my question and attempt to assist me.
I have not gotten my dna done so I was trying to find out what he had gotten off of it supposedly and what was bull.
When we have found adoptees, they were ones we knew who the biological parents were and then went looking for the children. I went through agencies and records. DNA was never a part of it.
This one has me confused because not only is it the child trying to find out who his parents are in our family line, but it is also based around DNA and with me not knowing anything about it, I am lost at what all comes with it.
Sorry I had you confused on my request, Lisa
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
Thank you for being a Wikitreer,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within 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, whether time period, location, or special event. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.
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.

PS Sometimes links don't work in emails. You can always find a link that works in the public comments on your profile.
It's not hard to add DNA test information to profiles on WikiTree, just make sure you add the tests to the actual test participant's profile & set the Privacy to Private w/ Public Biography & Family Tree to show the tester's part of our tree. For help see How to DNA on WikiTree
Here's a great YouTube video with all sorts of questions answered Getting Started with DNA.
