I live in Vicksburg, MS and I am on the Western Red Cedars team.  I will be working on my family, my friends (in actuality cousin 5x removed, proven through DNA), and another friends genealogy.

Hello team! This is Vicki joining from Chile. I'll be working on my chilean family (hopefully around 7 degrees to improve my CC7) and if I have time, I expect to improve connections on my spanish, german and irish ancestors. Have fun!!!

I did a few Swedish profiles this morning. Then moved over to the U.S. Governors project and added parents to a bunch of politicians.
