I continue to struggle to find any sources to support your Suffern Family in Ireland. Unfortunately, there are so many unsourced family trees on the internet that it makes the data look like "fact". I will keep working.
Please correct the spelling of the LNAB for Unknow-629 - It needs to be changed to Unknown, so that the profile will show up properly in searches. Thanks!

Hi Robin, I have about 4 volumes (approx 500 pages) of my family history that go from present to 1460. Its taking a little time to edit all this info into your guidelines that you require. As you know research takes time and money, and there is so much material to go through and sort out. Would you prefer that I do this before entering it on Wikitree or do I have time to research it using Wikitrees partners.
I do understand the amount of time it takes for research. For Pre-1700 profiles we would ask that you do the research first. With modern profiles 1700s and 1800s you can refer to Unsourced family tree handed down to Donald Suffern, but you should follow up within a short time (a couple of weeks) with sources for those profiles also. Remember that sources provide all of us on WikiTree with the knowledge and ability to help with research.
As you also mentioned cost of research, I am not sure if you are aware of this site, but, it has links to a lot of FREE information. https://www.cyndislist.com/
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point.
Take your time, keep track of sources and ask questions. Check here for tips.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
This is just a note to say hi and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about WikiTree.

Looking forward to working with you on those Pre-1700 profiles.
