Biography
Teresa Downey is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger Richard Warren.
Teresa Downey has completed the England Project's Orphan Trail.
Teresa Downey has English ancestors.
Teresa was born in SF Bay Area in California. She married and they had a son a few years later. She and her husband eventually divorced. Teresa and her son continued to live in SF Bay Area. Teresa retired from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory after working there for 34 years. In 2015, she, her mother Mary Ann, and her brother all moved to Roseburg, Oregon. Teresa was happy to leave the traffic and stress of SF Bay Area but sad to leave her son behind. Teresa enjoys the quiet life in rural Roseburg, Oregon living not far from her father and step-mother. She began volunteering for dog/cat rescue group in California in about 2007 and continued to volunteer for them even after moving to Oregon as there is plenty to do remotely. In 2018, Teresa picked up the genealogy work her mother started in mid-70's. Going through her mother's volumes of genealogy records and photos will take many months as her mom worked on it for over 30 years!

I am interested in finding my Danish/Swedish/Scottish ancestors. One person I matched with a Genetic Distance of 1 at FamilyTreedna said that her Earliest Known Ancestors were: Paternal:Jöns AnderssonMaternal:Stina Maja Slättengren and I think I saw these two people in your ancestor list.
The only "Stina" I found just now is this one: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Larsdotter-6207 Names don't quite match up.... Maybe the profile manager David Anderson can help? I think he is able to read the sources, which I most certainly cannot. He's also a cousin.
