Six of my eight great-grands came to Texas before the Civil War. The other two arrived shortly after. I was born in exile in Illinois - there was a war going on, you know. I returned with them to Morton, Texas, at age 1. After kindergarten in Morton, I attended grade school in Lamesa, Texas, graduating from Lamesa High School.

Eagle Scout, Texas Tech, US Navy Vietnam (Air Medal), marriage, career, daughter, son, retired from Dow Chemical.

Enjoying many pursuits as a volunteer, and getting used to being a grandfather.

Hi, Gary! It seems that we share some ancestors, such as the fascinating (and elusive!) Carter family of Virginia and North Carolina. I too descend from the old Carter-Bonham line from New Hanover/Pender County, NC. Your research looks fascinating and I would love to work with you on this line. My DNA shows 100% European ancestry so far--on both sides!-- but I am open to any and all possibilities! Happy hunting! Patti

Greetings!

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.

Hi Gary

I see a new GEDCOM badge. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful.

Help pages give lots of info about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.

If you have brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. WikiTree has one profile for each person, so the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old).

Discussions tagged as GEDCOM in the G2G forum and brickwall.
