Biography

My journey to discover my ancestors began when I was 17 years old. As the years went by, I dabbled at it occasionally, with lots of stops along the way as I was busy with raising a family. My efforts were renewed when my paternal 2nd cousin Sarah Z. discovered that two of our 10th great-grandfathers, Richard Warren and Francis Cooke, and his 13 year old son John Cooke, were Pilgrim Separatists and passengers on the Mayflower in 1620. Sarah shared everything and I, like her, joined The Mayflower Society. I spent years on my own research and I wanted to share all of these wonderful ancestors with my family. I am thankful for the generosity of others who shared their information with me, and I like to pay it forward and share with others.

We found many more ancestors who were early settlers in America, and were part of the Great Migration. They settled mainly on Nantucket Island, Cape Cod and Rhode Island. Some of their descendants went west until they reached Montana, Oregon and California.

My mother's ancestors appear to be primarily from Scotland, and have been the most elusive. They seem to have settled mainly in North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama, moving on to Oklahoma, Oregon and California. One 3rd great-grandfather is rumored to have been a Choctaw Chief! But he probably wasn't.

One grandmother's parents came from Belgium and Prince Edward Island and met in South Dakota.

In my spare time I read, mainly the Bible, historical fiction, a little general fiction sometimes, and non-fiction. I am trying to learn more about genetic genealogy. I spend time on my garden and with my family; camping and hiking. I am an avid book collector of all kinds, including genealogy books.

I gave birth to 3, but 8 call me Mom (one is now in heaven). I have 13 grandchildren (one is in heaven) and five greats. Two of my step-children are my cousins! My genealogy research is devoted to all of them, with love.

  • Carolyn Tibbetts Ballantyne, my 2nd cousin 1x removed, Keeper of the White Family Tree.
  • Julie Spencer, my 2nd cousin 1x removed, helped with the Taylor and McFarland families.
  • Bessie White Pearson, my grandmother and my great aunt Leila Ellis Ewing, answered all of the family questions they could, when I was 17 years old and sent them questionnaires to fill out. Aunt Lee wrote out her family story.
  • Carolyn C., my 3rd cousin, Keeper of the Schollaert Family Tree.
  • Philip Besselievre, my 3rd cousin, who broke down the Parsons Brick Wall.
  • Robin R, my 3rd cousin, of the awesome White family.

  • Thomas Milne, my 4th cousin, Keeper and Detective Extraordinaire, of the Blalock Tree.
  • Jim D., my 4th cousin, Veteran Keeper of the Blalock Tree.
  • S. Burroughs, my 5th cousin, broke through the Bowles Brick Wall and connected us to the Germanna Colony.
  • Carol R., my husband's 2nd cousin 1x removed, Creative Keeper of the Janes/Jaynes Tree.
  • Isabelle Rassinot, native and resident of France, generously spent many hours researching our Schollaert & Huysmans ancestors in French-speaking Belgium records. I am overwhelmed and overjoyed at all of the new ancestors Isabelle discovered and documented for us.

Hi Sheena,

I am currently writing a book that covers my maternal ancestors, which includes many people from Scotland. So I am involved with the Scotland Project whenever their profiles need to be created, modified or improved. Often my time is just spent on the book itself and not on Wikitree, so I am not as active as I once was and hope to be again in the future. I am still deeply interested inThe Scotland Project, and do my best to respond to every inquiry or opportunity for collaboration that comes my way. Thank you for allowing me to continue to be a member of The Scotland Project. J.

Dear J,

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.

We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team Level 1, working on profiles from your own watchlist and whatever else you find. Biography Teams Levels 2 and 3 will work on designated profiles for notables (Level 3) and everyday people (Level 2). Please let us know if you would like to help with another Team.

You joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018. We would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you would like to work at a higher level on the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile from your own watchlist that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If your profile is at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.

We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements. You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.

We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:

Make profiles beautiful! We clean up messy biography sections and sources, and try to set standards for attractive, useful, and well-written biographies, starting with those we manage.

We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Hi J! Hope you are doing well.

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

  • If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
  • How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
  • Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
  • Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
  • Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Hi J,

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around

First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?

Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi J,

We're sad to inform you that the Black Sheep Project is being dissolved. All BSP's subprojects will be moved in pieces under the Notables Project as categories and perhaps as Teams, depending on interest. Witch Trials will become a subproject of Notables.

Your BSP project member badge will soon be removed. If you'd like to join the Notables project, please let one of us know and we'll get you a Notables badge.

Please email either of us if you have any questions and if you'd like to join the Notables project.

Hello J, the England Project is changing the way that "Category:England Project" is used, from identifying England Project Members to a category for the England Project Free Space Pages and admin pages.

I would therefore be very grateful if you would remove "Category:England Project" and "Category:United Kingdom" from your personal profile. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.

Many thanks, Jo, England Project Leader

I think a profile you manage, Kirkpatrick-1987, is a son of Kirkpatrick-1712. Will you look and let me know if you agree? If you do I will add the connection.

Thanks! Tammy

I have no idea. Andrew Kirkpatrick-1712 has no sources at all; nothing to tell us the names of his children. I got the information for Charles Kirkpatrick-1987 from McTeer, Frances Davis; McTeer – Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975.

She said he was probably a son of Charles and Agnes Kirkpatrick. So, what makes you believe that Charles is a son of Andrew?

Based on the information in the image I put on the profile for Andrew Kirkpatrick-1712. Just trying to share some information.

Aha! Sorry, I had not noticed the image you posted! Awesome, it looks like Charles is the son of Andrew. Go ahead and make the connection. Thank you!

Great page! I'll chime in on relationship. It came up as the renown Unknown-371019.....Rebecca Harndell? But, Philip Tabor-527, my ninth gt grandfather, is probably a match. Thanks.

Hi Jan,

Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles and particularly your work in the Arborist Team.

These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do.

Joan

Thank you Joan. I am happy with my current role and only wish I could do more. I love being involved with Wikitree. But I live next door to four small grandchildren and am involved with their lives daily. I am also writing a 2nd family history book, have a husband who needs attention, a garden and lots of weeds to contend with. Even during these difficult times, life is as busy as ever! Stay well and thank you for your efforts!

Steve, I was part of the old Cemeteries team and contributed, but haven't had time to keep up on that. I think I will stop following the Cemeteries tag. Thanks!

Hello J,

My name is Sarah and I’m the Project Coordinator for the Scotland Project. As you may have heard, we have merged the Scottish Clans project into the Scotland Project. I am contacting you today to find out if you are interested in continuing with us under this new format. If you would like to go forward on the Scottish Clans Team, please reply and let me know which clans you have been working on or would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Sarah Mason, Scotland PC

Sarah, At this time I am hard at work researching my maternal lines for my next family history book. Many of the lines are from Scotland and Ireland and sources can be difficult to come by. Sometimes I can shift from one family to the next, if I find sources that lead me to the next branch of the family with more documentation. Examples are Colquhoun, Iverson, Boswell, Blacklocke/Blaylock and McFarlane/McFarland. When I discover new information that is not already entered at Wikitree, I add the new contribution. I would like to be a member of the Scotland Project but I can't promise to devote a lot of time to one clan.

Mason-10934 Sarah Mason
Hi J,

That is no problem at all. The Scotland Project has a lot more than just the clans teams. We have location-based county teams, topical teams like our new Castles team or the new Nobility team, and the PIT crew (Profile Improvement Teams) has sourcerers, connectors, and data doctors teams. Have a look at the project page and let me know what strikes your fancy. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Scotland

On Joel Pinson - I would say yes, but I don't know for sure. He was listed as a Land Agent in the 1850 Census, was found in 1820, 1830 and 1836 in Lincoln, TN, before moving to Pontotoc, MS

Hi J,

On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Arborists. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.

Are you happy to stay in your current team and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?

Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Susie, England Project Leader :-)

J, Thanks for quickly adding Notables as a manager for Fletcher Christian-1376. When I said "locked," I meant Project Protected, which is recorded in the database and change history as "Locked Status", and separate from Privacy/open status. It's still locked.

I had based my comment on the message you left on Chris Double-67's profile. He hasn't been active for a while now.

Hi J,

I haven’t heard back from you about the break up of the United Kingdom Project. I hope all is well with you. I assume you don’t wish to join any of the country-level projects at present, and will go ahead and remove the United Kingdom badge. If you wish to join England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the future, you would be most welcome to do so via the respective G2G sign-up post.

Many thanks for all your contributions,

Susie :-)
