I am graduate of Fairmont State College and worked in the education field for 37 years. I have always loved listening to stories about family that were told by my grandparents. I enjoy searching records and discovering nuggets of information that could lead to answers about the people I am researching. Since I was a child I enjoyed reading mystery's. Genealogy seems to be a combination of everything I like to do.

Welcome to the Appalachia Project - North Central Appalachia Team!
When you have the chance, please add your North Central Appalachia interests next to your name on this page. Also, please review our Reliable (and Unreliable) Sources for the Appalachia Project ( LINK ) 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.
I am always available for any questions or help. Thanks for joining the team.
Karen, North Central Team Lead - Appalachia Project
I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Also noticed you made 1648 contributions to Wikitree, thank you! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Here is a list of our WikiTree projects you might like to check out: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects
Why don't you also stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
Dorothy, Volunteer Coordinator.
You are leaving me with a bunch of unconnected junk. If they are bad profiles, I can simply merge them away instead.
I'd like to invite you to join in the "Weekend Chat" on G2G Today!
Share personal successes, stories about ancestors, tips, projects you are working on, or anything else you wish.
New members stop in and say Hello, introduce yourself, share your story, or ask for help.
Pilots, Mentors, and Leaders of all kinds please add something... your advice is always greatly appreciated.
Hope to see you there!

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
Vicky Majewski ~ WikiTree Mentor
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering. Make sure to add more TAGS (subjects of interest) as you grow the family tree.
Wow!!! You're the 1,593rd CALVERT profile on Wikitree! I bet your 'cousins' on Wikitree will benefit greatly once you add your insightful collaboration and research.
Have fun and make sure to join in the Question of the Week What's your favorite family heirloom? to share your stories!
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly group of volunteers who are glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

Welcome to Wikitree! I'm so glad you found us!
Wikitree is one BIG world-wide family tree that is freely accessible to everyone. Our goal is to have one profile per person which means we all work together as a BIG friendly and polite collaborative team!
If you are interested in sharing your research and want to collaborate to add your family, please fill out the TAGS on your profile page and click SAVE TAG(s) AND VOLUNTEER.
Your Tags can include a surname (like SMITH) or a location (like CANADA) and a comment explaining why this subject interests you.
Welcome to the Family!
