New member introducing myself

Question

Hi everyone,

Technically, I made my profile some 7-8 years ago, although I didn't use it (and Wikitree in general) until the last month or so.

I've come to appreciate the way WikiTree allows profile-based writing and questions (similar to the old forums) which is something I do privately (working on some articles for publishing).  I've been researching for 25+ years and am pretty advanced, so I appreciate being able to discuss and work with others who understand research and sourcing a bit more than the average ancestry users or facebook post (which isn't a dig against them, we all started somewhere)

Anyway - looking forward to connecting with everyone.  I've started building/fleshing out profiles on my lines as I'm updating my own research.  My primary areas of interest are Massachusetts, New Hampshire (with roots back to the 1630s in both and a handful of Mayflower lines as well), and on the other side - Sicily.

Welcome back again to Wikitree Cousin 

I still consider Wikitree the best genealogy collaborative place available not that ancestry etc doesn’t give us the extra resources and tools in the box but Wikitree is just amazing 

Good luck in your genealogy research 

Answer 2

Hi Eric!

I'm Your 17th cousin twice removed

• Your 16th great-grandmother, 
• Katherine Rilay (-1437), is his 18th great-grandmother.
• Your 16th great-grandfather, 
• John Leventhorp (abt.1370-1435), is his 18th great-grandfather

I'm Dave Draper, a WikiTree greeter.  Generally I have a big long-winded post for new ones, who for some reason, make one contribution and then are never heard from again!

But I'm glad you are back and when I ran the connection finder and found out we are cousins, it blew me away!
