WikiTree
I am an active WikiTreer, though I spend more time working on profiles than participating in G2G. I love WikiTree and use it as my primary documentation of my genealogy work.
Projects
DNA
I joined the DNA Project because I regularly use DNA for genetic genealogy. I am more adept with autosomal DNA (auDNA), but am still learning how to use X, mitochondrial (mtDNA) and Y DNA. I've been able to verify my traditional genealogy through auDNA on multiple ancestral lines. I also found and solved an NPE on my father's maternal lineage.
We have a lot of wonderful DNA experts on WikiTree that know a lot more than I do, but I do love sharing my knowledge and helping others.
German Roots
Allison Mackler has German Roots.
Allison Mackler is a member of the Germany Project.
I joined Project:German_Roots because I have a lot of ancestors from, what is today, Germany. I have ancestors that emigrated directly from Germany to the USA in the 18th and 19th century.
There are also others that are of older Germanic descent such as a Scandinavian line that mtDNA has uncovered.
I am actively working to document my ancestors and their families (and neighbors).
Germanna Colonists
I have ancestors that were original Germanna colonists. In 1717, miners from Siegen were brought to the colony of Virginia with the intention to mine silver. However, they had to clear land, build homes and start farming in order to survive.
I am working on the Germanna Colonies Project creating profiles and categorizing the original colonists.
Volga Germans
Another group of German ancestors were those that left Germany for a better life in the 1760s and emigrated to Saratov Oblast in the Russian Empire, along the Volga river. The Volga German colonists were able to maintain their language, religion and traditions despite living deep in Russia. They endured the Russian Empire back tracking on everything they promised the Germans, and even came under attack, from government sanctioned pogroms against them. Colonists starting leaving in the 1890s for the United States and other countries.
My great-grandparents and 2x great-grandparents emigrated to Loveland, Colorado via New York in 1911.
Allison Mackler has Norwegian ancestors
Allison Mackler has Swedish ancestors
While most people think of Volga Germans as being German, there was actually a number of colonists that came from Scandinavia. My mother's mtDNA results and matches are to Scandinavia.
I work as part of the Volga German Team because my maternal grandmother was the first US born child born to Volga German immigrants from the German colonies of Walter, Frank, Norka and Messer. She was very knowledgeable about her roots, was proud to be a Volga German and was an active member of the AHSGR. This group is also really special to me because I really miss my grandmother.
Jewish Roots
Allison Mackler has Ukrainian Roots.
Allison Mackler has Jewish Roots.
Allison Mackler is a member of Project New York.
I joined the Jewish Roots Project because my Mackler ancestors were Ashkanazi Jews from, what is today, Ukraine. They emigrated from Ukraine around 1890 to New York City.
The Macklers remained in New York City. Nearly half of my genealogical research is in New York.
Irish Roots
News Flash! It is now confirmed that my grandmother's biological father was John Boland, not the father she grew up with and that the family all knew as her father. The DNA test between my father and his first cousin showed that they were only half first cousins. A mitochondrial DNA test confirmed that their mothers did share the same mother, Emma Vordermeier.
Allison Mackler has Irish ancestors.
My father had two DNA matches that were both autosomal and X matches to my father. Neither of these matched to his known first cousin. After building their trees, I was able to determine that they were both descended from the same person, Thomas Boland. The WATO tool at DNAPainter calculated the most likely father of my grandmother was Thomas Boland and the second most likely would be a child of Thomas. However, Thomas Boland died in 1916 and my grandmother was born in 1921.
After using Google Maps to determine where Thomas' male children lived in 1910 - 1930, I discovered that John Boland lived less than two blocks away from my great-grandmother, Emma. I also discovered that he was separated from his wife, who lived around the corner from Emma.
John did have siblings, however, his brothers were much younger and lived a mile away. Not conclusive, but unlikely they were in a relationship with Emma.
One Name Studies
Allison Mackler is a member of the One Name Studies Project.
I joined the One Name Studies project to help research, organize and analyze family groups based on surnames.
Allison Mackler is a member of the Boland Name Study Project.
Allison Mackler is a member of the Clark Name Study Project.
Allison Mackler is a member of the Giesick Name Study Project.
Allison Mackler is a member of the Mackler Name Study Project.
Profile Improvement
Most recently joined the Project:Profile_Improvement project because I love improving profiles!
I am tracing my recently improved profiles for the voyage process.
Issues
As much as I love WikiTree, nothing is perfect and there are a few issues that remain unaddressed:
- WikiTree is a volunteer based, global family tree based on WikiMedia, just like Wikipedia. This requires people to work together, collaborate and communicate with each other. In general, this works well and while WikiTree espouses holding members to the Honor Code everyone must agree to, in reality, the extent of their administrative action is mediation. Unfortunately, there are members who are trolls, control freaks and those that are downright abusive. Some of these individuals are long time members and some are also in leadership positions, which makes mediation impossible. Others just have no interest in being collaborative or control their verbal abuse, despite mediation. One has to accept this on any collaborative or social website. After receiving death threats, my acceptance has been to limit my exposure to the hate and vitriol by no longer participating in the G2G forums, not working on certain profiles of my own ancestors, and limiting the profiles I managed to my direct ancestors.
- Privacy is an issue on WikiTree. After GDPR went into affect, WikiTree changed their privacy rules to force profiles to be open, all data visible, for profiles of individuals who either were born 150 years ago or who died 100 years ago. It sounds good in principal, however, the implementation is flawed, which leaves profiles of people that died less than 100 years ago forced to open. In addition, this implementation doesn't take into account that someone who died, even 100 years ago, could have living children, thus exposing data about living individuals. WikiTree leadership is content with these flaws and they won't be fixed. My solution to this issue is to no longer create profiles for living individuals, which forces me to keep a seperate family tree where I can control the privacy.
- WikiTree has a public API which allows third parties to access data on WikiTree. The API is supposed to limit data available to third parties based on the privacy settings on the profiles. There are two issues with this, the first is the previously mentioned privacy issue. The second is that the data isn't actually protected, despite the privacy settings on the profiles. In particular, I have found a severe flaw in the API where private and unlisted profiles are accessible by a third party if you are logged into your WikiTree account in the same browser that you are accessing the third party website. In addition, any photos or documents you have attached to a profile, regardless of privacy setting is also accessible by a third party in this scenario. I have found these private/unlisted profiles, photos and documents copied to strangers family trees on other genealogy sites that use this public API. WikiTree blatetly argues these issues do not exist rather than debugging and resolving the issue. Because this is such a severe issue, I have removed all uploaded pictures and documentation from WikiTree.
My advice to anyone wanting to volunteer on WikiTree is, please do! It's a great website with a great community, but just be aware of the serious flaws while doing so and take care to protect private data, photos and documents.
Societies
Currently, I belong to the following genealogical and lineage societies:

Biography
Allison Mackler is a Coloradan.
I am the oldest of three (living) siblings, one of which was born while I was a junior in high school. My parents are a native New Yorker and a native Coloradan who met in a park in Denver, Colorado on a summer day.[1][2][3][4]
It took me awhile to find a career I loved doing long term. I original went to college for art and ended up running an art gallery. I loved choosing the art exhibits, working with the artists and organizing openings. I later went back to school and got a degree in automotive technology and worked as an auto mechanic. I loved getting paid for one of my hobbies. I had to change careers again and went back school for computer science. I love working as a software engineer since. I basically just love solving problems and fixing things!
I've always been a "researcher" by nature and I'm also a big geek. Besides genealogy, I love gaming (board and computers), plays and musicals, cars, books, movies, art, music and have a big ol' soft spot for animals.
I consider myself very lucky to have both my parents still living and enjoy sharing and working with them on our family history.
Ethnicity
My family stories indicate that I may be descended from Scottish, English, German and Russian roots,
Maternal DNA shows that we have matches to England, Hungary, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Germany.
Paternal DNA shows that we have matches to Belarus, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine.
The ethnicity calculators on GEDmatch show some interesting results!
Etymology
Allison is a derivation of Alice, which is a Clark (maternal grandfather) family name. My Aunt has the middle name Alice, and she was named after her father's sister, Alice Clark. Originally my mother wanted to name me Ashley, from Gone With the Wind. However, Grandma Clark hated the name Ashley, and is remembered as saying, "what if she's a big girl and they call her Assley." This was totally in character for my grandmother, who was always concerned about what other people thought and appearing proper. In fact, she changed her own middle name, unofficially, because of being teased as a child for her initials.[5]
Beneficiaries
In the event of my death, I give permission for all of my private profiles to be transferred to any of the following slightly-active WikiTreers in my family and other Wikitree members, whether or not they are currently on my trusted lists: David Mackler, Mindy Mackler, Gini Klein. Effective immediately, 29 December 2017, Allison Mackler.

Just a quick reminder that starting tomorrow morning at 8 am Eastern time in United States is the source a thon. I am going to be in at that time (5 am here) but please do not worry if you have to come in hours or days later. Remember we work around family, etc... and even if only one per teammate gets done, that is one more that was not done before the thon. It all makes our tree better and stronger.
p.s. Are you also descended from Germanna families?
I noticed your comment about moving an Acknowledgments section above sources. According to the Proper Order section in the Biographies guidelines, that belongs at the very end below any See Alsos in the Sources section.

I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have not yet heard back from you. I hope you are well!
If I don’t hear back from you by the end of April, I will assume you no longer wish to be a member of the Germany Project and I’ll go ahead and remove you from our member roster. You are, of course, welcome to rejoin at any time via our G2G sign-up post.
Best wishes,
Traci ~ Germany Project co-leader

Looking forward to your participation again and thank you.
I do not care what anyone says, This is the very best team around. This team has dealt with homelessness, pneunonia, friends and family dropping in, plans changing, computer issues and more. We all still got in and sourced as best we could.
You are an amazingly awesome team and I am so blessed to have you all in Legacy Heirs. I hope to have you all back next year.
Lisa
