I've been active in researching my family's history for nearly eight years at this point, with my primary goal being to create a more precise and reliable historical record here on WikiTree complete with detailed referencing from credible sources. Furthermore, my academic background in history and anthropology enables me to discerningly scrutinize available historical sources and provide useful insights during the course of my research.
On WikiTree, my primary intent is to genealogically define and provide detailed biographies of the profiles within my line. I'm also open to supporting others interested in exploring their own heritage, so feel free to contact me for assistance with any research challenges you may be encountering.
The principal surnames comprising the bulk of my research here on WikiTree include the following:
Paternal:
Land, Bunce, McDaniel, Spence, Perkins, Crumbley, Hagan, Regan, Williams, Gregory, McElveen, Bowen, Brown, White.
Maternal:
Combs, Miller, Vires, Kidd, Barnett, Little, Ison, Whitaker, Puckett, Noble, Hays, Chaney, Burgess.

Apologies for not responding in time to the recent check-in messages from the Military and War Project. I've been on a temporary hiatus due to personal commitments, so I haven't been able to actively participate recently. However, I appreciate your understanding and would like to express my continued interest in being part of the project, so I'll be sure to reapply using the G2G link you provided and re-engage with the project as soon as my schedule permits.
Best regards, Nic Land-3383

I'm ok with remaining as a biographer on the Profile Improvement Project (PIP) since that's where my focus is. I should be able to offer more assistance to the project once my schedule allows, and I've already bookmarked more than a few pages I'm looking to improve. Also, I'll be sure to join the Project Discord and Google Group once I return to my research.
Take care, Nic Land-3383

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,

You certainly have a LOT of information on your family! I am genealogically inept, unfortunately. I do think I have figured out how you and I are related. Your 5th Great Grandmother, Priscilla Estes, is my 4th Great Grandmother's sister, Mary Estes. Which makes us 6th cousins?? Anyway, however we're related, it's nice reading your family line! x
Stella
Regarding my 5th Great-Grandmother, Priscilla Estes, you are correct about our relation through Priscilla's sister, Mary Estes, making us 6th cousins 1x removed.
Priscilla's life certainly is intriguing, especially regarding her time spent living among the Shawnee Indians, where she learned of their customs, language, and medicine, eventually being adopted as one of their own. I would definitely recommend delving more into her story for a fascinating read.
Also, Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I'll be sure to respond whenever I'm available.

Nice to see you in the Notables Project and the United States Project! I used to be a Floridian too, haha! Plus, we are tenth cousins, that is pretty cool. I also have interest in U.S. Presidents and the Magna Carta. Just wanted to say hello!

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.
