Greetings, welcome to my journey. I'm originally from St. Louis, and was born on the anniversary of D-Day in the year that President Kennedy was assassinated.

I graduated in Jan 81' and went right to work as an admin at a bank for about 4 years (I started with a study/work program through school so I was working at the bank at 16) until I decided it was time for a change and enlisted in the Air Force. I loved it and truly miss the friends and co-workers that I had the pleasure of serving for and working with. I enlisted in 84' and although I didn't retire, it was a great adventure.

Before I went into the AF, my father gave me a copy of his family tree that a genealogist had created for the family, it goes back to 1730 (England). If you look at my pictures, you will see the family of 16, my paternal great grandfather & grandmother and their 14 children who all lived to adulthood. I still remember the family reunions in a park in Illinois (yes with that large of a family, we had to rent a park every summer). Perhaps that's when I got the genealogy bug but ultimately it would have to wait since my 1st assignment was in Spain. I went to a lot of wonderful cities but my favorite place to visit was Barcelona, it was clean & beautiful.

My next assignment would take me back stateside but it was before computers and I didn't learn about the LDS centers until after I got out of the military and found a local chapter in North Carolina. I decided to throw a dart and pick a place I had never lived before. I lived in North Carolina for 20 years and there's where I started my family tree on a spreadsheet. In the mid 1990's I found rootsweb and USGenWeb but things didn't really come together until I found Ancestry where I could communicate with cousins and ensure my data was correct.

I've only been on WikiTree for a few months and it has been great getting to know new friends and family.

I tend to like being involved in a lot of projects and help out where I can and where I'm needed.

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have no yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? Are you well now

If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Mary, Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Mary, I responded the same day (via private message) that you sent the e-mail that I had covid. I am now recovering from Covid (slowly). I suffer from chronic migraines and that has complicated my recovery but I am still interested in the project.
posted by Kimberly (Diss) Morgan
Yes I received the 1st message and now see it is taking a toll on you. I hope you get over the migraines. Will mark you as trying..... for the project. I wish you full health soon.

I saw your name listed on a recent WikiTree email. The name Diss caught my attention. I have a close childhood friend who stayed in England after the Vietnam War and retiring from the Air Force. He lives on the Eastern side and he and his wife attend a car and craft show every weekend. A week ago they went to a town called Diss. The event was a "Diss Heritage Triangle Transport Fayre 2023". If you are interested in checking it out for a possible connection, type Diss Norfolk England. It is a lovely very small old town from viewing the pics.
I have many cousins in England. My father hired a genealogical expert in the 70s and they said there is a place called Little Diss, Big Diss. I was fascinated by that but have very little info on it. I will be happy to check out the Diss Heritage. I also have a contact in England (Cousin Andy) who I can ask, he has done a lot of Diss research on the England side. We understood that our ancestors were from Essex, Halstead area but the Diss family is absolutely huge. My great grandfather/grandmother had 14 children alone. william was born in New York and then settled in Illinois. William's father was born in 1825 and came from England. I started the Diss One Name study for this very purpose to bring us all together.

Where was your friend originally from? After the initial 14 children raised their children, they scattered throughout the US but most were still found in Illinois.

Thank you for the info Mary Lou, I really appreciate it and will check it out.

Best regards, Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hello Kimberly,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!

It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
