Biography
I was born the fourth and youngest of four brothers in my Family. Father was a Doctor, and Mother was an artist, who later got a Master's Degree in Fine Art, giving me a wonderful education in art that I would be difficult to get otherwise. I did a four year tour in the United States Navy, and after I got out, I got an Associate's Degree in Commercial Art. I got interested in Genealogy when Mother got a computer fifteen years ago. ==

Thank you for noticing the merge, but since you are the profile manager of both, you must agree to and finish the merge.
Because Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within a project coordinating them is essential. Please ensure location data matches dates of profile, avoid abbreviations, add sources with citations & links for sources to support the data. From wiki ID go to Research to find sources
The US History Project would be of interest. Adding the tag US_History will connect you
Explore Pre-1700 Projects list to find one that fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic please read the goals & tasks of the project

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week so I am checking in to see how it is going. The New Member How-Tos are for you to work at your own pace. If you had time to look, were they helpful?
I'm here to help with questions about how WikiTree works. Just click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page. I'll get back to you by the end of the day.

PS If you get a "Page Not Found" error when clicking WikiTree email links, you can often find a working version in the public comments on your profile.
PPS Did you discover that the tags on your profile are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag? You can add more, up to 20 total.
You are now an active member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family.
I recommend starting with our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you create your family profiles. Building your family tree on WikiTree will help you connect with others who have the same ancestors.
Need help? Just ask!
Above all, have FUN! :) I hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have!
