I am interested in communicating 
with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
Here is my family tree.
I have ancestry from quite a few places--England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Netherlands, France, with deeper Spanish, Scandinavian, and Mediterranean. The large majority of my emigrant ancestors were in Colonial Virginia, but also in New Netherland, early Massachusetts (but not quite qualifying for the Mayflower) ; Huguenots in New Netherland, Manakintown in Virginia, & in North & South Carolina. My more recent ancestry comes from Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, & western New York. I have quite a few brick walls that I need to dig under, climb over, or go around! I have about 50 years of general genealogical experience, and about 20 years of online & lineage society experience, which includes SAR, Colonial Wars, Huguenot Society of Georgia, Holland Society of New York, & more.

I have been working on my family tree for over 50 years, since I was about 10. My paternal grandmother's younger sister wrote a chapter on the Carmichael family of Henry County, Georgia, which was published in the book First Families of Henry County, Georgia. She got me started, and I've been hooked ever since! Over the years I have been a member of about a dozen lineage societies, which cover everything from the Revolutionary War, to the War of 1812, to the Colonial Wars, to Jamestowne, the Huguenots, and the Holland Society of New York. I've also been a longtime member of the Carmichael and Elliot clans. my main project is the Oosterhout surname study right now. [1]

It can be a challenge to distinguish between New Netherlanders and Palatines, particularly if Germans went to Dutch churches or Dutch went to German churches. Some of my supposed Hudson Valley "Dutch" ancestors (in received family trees) have turned out to be Palatines. There are others who were English soldiers, and still others who were French -- mostly Huguenots. And I have some distant cousins who are convinced that some of the ancestors who I believe were German Palatines were actually French.

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 laid out on that page.
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.
David ~ WikiTree Pre-1700 Greeter
Welcome back. We are so happy you decided to sign the Honor Code.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
Mickey ~ WikiTree Greeter
Welcome to the WikiTree family!
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, which means that members work together as a single collaborative team. The Honor Code is our guide to keep everything functioning smoothly as we work on one BIG tree.
The initial email from us has links you can use to get started. When you confirm your email address, you'll have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree, beginning with tags for your own profile. Tags are how we keep up with new information on surnames, locations, concepts, etc.
If you volunteer, a greeter will confirm your membership, and you'll be able to add new profiles!
Carole
P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
