About Me

I am a Generation Veneration Geek. Researching my family tree started as a hobby, now; it is an obsession. I dedicate my research to the memories of our ancestors, who flow like tributaries into the collective unconsciousness of humanity. I believe that our ancestor, our elders, are our teachers, our taproots to traditions, values, language and history. Researching family history, in my heart, is to respect their legacies, and, to honor their memory; as they are our guides to our future. Through the legacies of our ancestors, we can learn to reconnect our living generations, and our generations to come.
Looking forward to collaborating

I have been researching my genealogy for several years now, but still have a lot of holes in my tree on my dad's side. Bare bones in terms of information, I have been working at filling in the blanks with my African American Ancestors and lost family branches.

The surnames I am researching on my dad's side are Smith( from Missouri, Tennessee), McLeod & Monroe (Ohio, Georgia, Virginia?), Ewing(Kentucky), Mayfield(Louisiana) and Dahl(Sweden).

Hi Elisa,

I posted a check-in message a couple of weeks ago about the US Black Heritage Project to ask you about your activity with the project, but haven’t heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things. You’re always welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Thanks, Emma MacBeath, USBH Project Co-Leader

Hello Elisa!

I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.

I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Slave Narratives team. Members can change teams at any time.

Emma

Hi Elisa, Just checking in to see if you are still participating on the US Black Heritage project. If so, share with us what you are working on. Also, if you would take a moment to add the
US Black Heritage Project
Elisa Mayfield is a part of US Black heritage.
to the profile of your American ancestors with African heritage. This helps to track the progress of the project.

I look forward to hearing from you! Regards, Denise

Hello Elisa!

I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.

I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the team. If you need something to work on, we now have a master task list here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Black_Heritage_Project_Tasklist

We now have a project badge! Hooray! As soon as I hear back from you that you’d like to continue with the project, I will add the badge to your profile.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Emma

Hi Emma, I would love to continue to participate with the US Black Heritage Project. I was invited to assist with the Georgia Slave Narrative profiles; I've been attempting profile cleanups.

As part of an annual check-in of the WikiTree US Presidents Project we are asking members if they are planning to continue their contributions to the project. We are establishing a page where everyone can identify the President or Vice President that they wish to manage. Just respond to this message to let me know 1) Are you planning to continue with the Project and 2) do you have a specific President or Vice President that you are interested in.
posted by Robin Lee
I plan to continue with the Project, and have an interest in President Washington.

Thanks!

Hope all is well and want to reach out to you... You may be able to help me with this... https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hill-40211 I don't have access to Ancestry and I believe any information on Alice would be there!

Elisa we are 10th cousins once removed from Jamaica through Strickland-125, I have no idea how that works, but check it out and see what you think.

Hi David  :-) I will take a look at our connection. Thank you for reaching out.

Good luck with your search prior to 1850 for the African ancestors... If you can verify slave records from the 1850s you may need to take a trip to the last known place of your ancestors... Not sure if you have access to the family BIBLE, or any other Church records maybe the best way to put the whole story together!

I have that same problem... I've been back to 1832 and cannot crack that wall...

Re:Sorrells, Not a problem. I was looking at his tree at FST and neither WT or FST makes sense at all.

Elisa, so we both have ancestors that came from Virginia; mine by way of Kentucky to Missouri, too.

Did you want to add the parents to the profile of Major John Lee Lee-13847? I posted a message on his profile with the correct father and mother. There was a different John Lee attached to them, but he has been removed.
