I am interested in communicating with
cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
I don't know much about my family tree yet.
My name is Jacqueline Young. I am an African American Young who has recently started my ancestral journey. I am interested in learning more about my Young history as I don't have much to go on, mainly, I am trying to determine who my Great Great Grandfather's father was. His name was Benjamin Young. I believe his father may have been George Young or Reuben Young. Any help I could receive would be helpful! they are all from Yancey County, NC but may have ended up in Greenville, TN

Greetings Poland Project member! We have new information and updates:
For the last several months, the Poland Project has been undergoing new organization with new volunteers. We are excited about how the project can enhance Wikitree!
We have several different task teams that need volunteers. Please take a look at this page to see which one interests you: Volunteer Tasks. Once you have decided which task team you would like to work on, please reply to this comment.
The only requirements for ongoing membership in the Poland Project are that you join a team and respond to the periodic check-ins from the Project Leaders/Coordinators. We recognize that people lead busy lives and are grateful for any and all contributions you can make.
Once you have joined a team, please join the Poland Project Google Group to receive project updates and participate in project and team discussions. You can also follow Project news via the tags 'Poland_Europe' or 'Polish_Roots' or 'Polska' on G2G.
If we don’t hear from you in the next 45 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended as you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help researching your Polish ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with 'Poland_Europe' or 'Polska' in order for our knowledgeable researchers to see them.

Jacqueline, welcome to the Appalachia Project - South Central Appalachia Team!
When you have the chance, please add your South Central Appalachia interests next to your name on our South Central Team page. While you’re there, you can read what others are working on and get to know us a little bit. Then join us on the Discord channel – we are a friendly bunch!
Also, please review our Reliable (and Unreliable) Sources for the Appalachia Project to help with sourcing our Profiles as you add or come across them. WikiTree requires valid sources on all Profiles and our Project has certain requirements for sources. Check the Appalachia Stickers Page for tips on adding stickers to profiles. In fact, you can add a team sticker to your own page!
I am always available for any questions or help. Thanks for joining the team.
I noticed that you have added a number of profiles with no sources, please remember that per our Honor Code, we cite sources. As indicated below, please make sure you read through our "How to use WikiTree" help.
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
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.
Yes, your DNA worked, I can tell because you have the DNA badge, after about 24 hours your test results will show at the top of the right hand column here on your profile. After creating profiles for your parents, grandparents and other family members, your results will also show up to 24 hours later in their profiles.
I am still not sure that I uploaded my DNA results properly. It has been more than 24 hours and I still am not showing any connection or cousins. Unless, I am an alien with no relatives!! How can I confirm that my DNA test has been properly uploaded? I know it shows I have a badge but why no relatives? Does it take more than 24 hours?? I am sorry to bother you but any assistance you can give me will help!
Your DNA has worked because I can now see your connection at the top of the right hand column here. DNA on WikiTree works a little differently on WikiTree than some other websites and it would be a great idea for you to review some of the help pages about DNA. Also you'll find clickable links all over the place that lead to more info about that subject. I wish I could help more but unfortunately I haven't yet had my DNA tested so I'm not too sure how it all works. You might need to play around a bit to get yourself familiar with the features here. We have a DNA project that you can tag if you post a question in G2G.
Good luck - I'm sure it's bound to be a fascinating subject!
