Ms Pat: I do NOT recall replying to you, so here tis. Thank you for your contact and information. If you wish to contact me more directly, feel free to do so, as I have more in-depth data on our families on Ancestry, along with substantial Y-Chromosome (Paternal) data on the Arrowood lineage, from which I, too, have come. My Great Grandfather was Robert Buchanan Arrowood at birth, and he changed his name to ARWOOD in 1880, shortly after his marriage, and before the 1880 Census. Thanks again..........Richard

Hi Richard,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or special event. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page. Natalie ~ Pre-1700 Greeter

Welcome to WikiTree, Richard. If you want to try to get an answer to your question,"Why is CRI Genetics NOT included?", you might try posting that question in G2G. That is the forum where we discuss issues and try to get answers to questions. I would suggest that you use that as your question and post it to the Treehouse. Then in the box asking for more explanation, explain what CRI Genetics is and why you think it should be included. Then in the tags box, I would list tags such as DNA, leaders, improvements, and whatever else seems appropriate.

Just go to My G2G feed in the dropdown list at My WikiTree above to get started.
