Started working on our family's genealogy in 1995.
just retired and thought I would have lots of time to work on genealogy but have so many other projects going that I'm lucky if can find an hour or two per day for it.
Trying to get more stuff on my website but its slow going. Began my own genealogy site in 1998:

I you have any interest in the booklet, I could scan it and send the original to you. It seems to be a grade school level First Day Lesson.
I'm pretty sure we're cousins but not through the author of "On Stitting Still" - I have files on her but I can't find them on my computer right now and won't be able to look until tomorrow. Mary C. Brantingham was not the author. The author was someone who met a Test -- and it might well be a Daniel Test -- they both at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She's written a number of other books about the Quakers -- I can't think of the titles of any of them -- Nothing like getting older forgetting things -- I'll be in touch
I've been the same route, sort of. Got so fed up that I eventually took my Facebook down entirely, and removed all political items from my blog. (what is the sound of one hand clapping?) I've been devoting my blog to my Oregon Trail ancestors (six of them) and enjoying the research on their journey. Still at vegetarianbear.blogspot.com (aka Pandababy). I love the look of your Test family website. Really artistic - beautiful.
You already may know who the John Denn and Leah Denn are in the wedding guests list for Francis Test and Elizabeth Bacon, but just in case, following is who I think they are. Then I got sidetracked on the Denn lineage so throwing in Charlemagne just for fun.
Well, I got 'a little' off track, but do want to say your website is really lovely and I like the way you have laid out the evidence completely. Best regards, April Dauenhauer
there were no connections given. His research contains what I sent him of my Collets into the Laniers in ENgland:
Will of Anne Carter, widow, of London [PCC, PROB 11/201, q.189], 31 Mar 1647]; proved 27 Sep 1647 at Greenwich by Clement Lanyer and his wife Hannah, daughter of the deceased. Anne wished to be buried near her husband John at All Hallows, Lombard Street; among her bequests: the lease of the ‘Barrel and Oyster’ in Gracious St to Clement and Hannah Lanier; they to pay £5 to AC’s son Thomas Collett from recent takings; bequest to AC’s son Richard Collett includes a ‘picture which represents the land of Flanders’; bequests to her other children William Collett, George Collett, Valentine Collett and Elizabeth; beds to her grandchildren [children of Clement and Hannah] John and Hanna; the residue to Clement and Hannah Lanier, they to be executors. Overseers: Dr Critton [Creighton] of Greenwich and Richard Collett. Witnesses: Richard Bassano; Francis A Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians 1485-1714

I just uploaded some new documents on Wm Hewes 1690-1746 to my website -- Might be soon adding some more. Did you see the biography of Wm Hewes published in Pennsylvania Legislators: a biographical dictionary? I have it here: https://testfamilygenealogy.com/History/Hewes/WilliamHewesIII/frame.html
William Hewes was serving in the Assembly when it voted to build a new Pennsylvania State House -- Today we know it as Independence Hall --its the building that housed the 2nd Continental Congress when the Declaration of Independence was voted on and later where the U.S. Constitution was written.
Hewes served 7 terms in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives or, as it was known then, as the Pennsylvania Assembly.
Happy Holidays, Bob
By the way, do you have the land maps that show the location of Jermiah Collett's lands in Chester County, Pennsylvania? The maps are on ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1127/images/31617_072080-00738?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=0a6f6ac40b35e24abdc32db2f73ff999&usePUB=true&_phsrc=YGU1843&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&pId=4821063
Look for image 65. Let me know if you have any trouble finding it. I could send it to you as well if you'd like.

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Military and War Project and we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

On behalf of the Military and War Project Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members.
First, we want to thank you for your past participation in the Military and War Project. We appreciate your desire to honor your ancestors for their service to their countries, or even for your service, wherever in the world. We hope that your membership has enhanced your WikiTree experience.
Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, in which ways you have contributed to the main project or a sub-project within the last two months.

As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.

I have also awarded you the Military and War project badge as it is the umbrella project for all the wars.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the projects and the guidelines we have in place.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for the message. Everyone here seems to be so helpful.
I plan to join the Quaker project -- I clearly have a lot to learn about using wikitree so I'm taking it slow -- This John Test who is the originator of the American part of the family wasn't a Quaker although his parents were and so was his second wife and all their children.
So I'm thinking this kind of puts him in a limbo -- part of Quaker Project or not?
Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
The Quakers would be a great choice based on your family tree. Review the project page to learn about resources they have gathered as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
I saw your pre-1700 project question about your Quaker ancestor, John Test. Please include categories for John's monthly meeting and burial location if you know them.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Love your blog. For twenty years I never posted political material but recently I've been so fed up that I posted a couple of anti-trump links everyday to the home page on my genealogy site that nobody reads either. I took the political stuff down a few weeks ago.
Then I started posting it to the facebook page my wife set up --it goes by Robert Loch-Test - I've been lagging on it -- all I do is click the facebook link whenever I read an article I like -- Here's something I can blame you for -- after looking at your blog I was motivated to post a couple more articles about Trump on the facebook page today. Hoping everything goes well with your husband's surgery. And I also hope the world survives the next couple of years.
