I am a family historian working on Hawkins (my mother's paternal side) and my father's (Claeys).

My Maternal Grandmother's parents were Frank Weekley/ly and Felice Norton. Frank's parents were Cyrus Weekley and Heloise Leonisa Manceaux, Acadian/Cajun.

I have been doing this for 20 years.

I have uploaded my family tree to WikiTree.

I am an anthropologist. I did my graduate work in Texas and Oklahoma.

Genealogy and anthropology are great links in researching family history and social history.

Hello, Janet!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard – WikiTree Greeter

I am stuck. I was trying to add a person to the tree. The dates are not accepting a year or about year for birth. I read the year was ok, but not so.

Thanks, Peace, Janet

Thank you for upgrading - your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together!

Check out our Member How-To pages. They are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around.

You may also find these pages helpful: Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

For those using Chrome, Opera, or Firefox browsers, there is a tool that can help with the formatting of profiles which have been created through GEDCOM, so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
