Here is my family tree.
Maternal side is mostly English, Scottish, French, Irish, Swiss, and German. The majority of my Mother's family came over in the 1600's to 1700's. Paternal is German. Most were born in Russia in the Volga German region, then came from the Southeast to East side of Germany or Prussia in the mid 1700's. Trying to piece together the Volga Germans to Prussia. I am most interested in helping find the stories of the individuals who are family. The 1700's is very intriguing.

However, thank you for adding James Jordan Thurmond and Leah Hudspeth as Mary America's parents. They match my Ancestry tree and are in my GEDCOM upload. I just hadn't made it far enough yet to add profiles for them to WikiTree yet to complete the GEDCOM data. I haven't edited the profiles you created yet because I show a different birth location for James and I have parents for Leah, from another Tucker relative's application for the Sons of the American Revolution, but one of them may be a match to an existing WikiTree profile managed by another user and I need to check that out first.
In addition to these ancestors, I have quite a few additional relatives for each, all in my GEDCOM upload, but it will take me time to add them (if not yet in WikiTree) or match them to and, if needed, edit and existing profile. I am also simultaneously updating my Ancestry tree and including those additional edits here. This part of my tree is lower priority for me at the moment as I am still working on filling in all the siblings and their families for the ancestors I have already matched or added. In the meantime, if you find you have additional sources for any profile I manage, feel free to add those. But if you would like to make changes to any profile I manage, I would really appreciate it if you could reach out to me first by private message or by public comment on my profile. Thanks!

William Turner and Obadiah Turner
I am giving you a source that has the Turners from North Carolina. It is an online pdf book you can view online for free. I am still going through it. I have gone back to the 1750-1800 and looked at all of the males in the lines of the Turners in WIki. However we do not know if all of the brothers are listed on the profiles. I need to try to find wills to verify and other sources. I do have notes from Perry County I still have to go through. https://docplayer.net/86351330-Henry-turner-of-north-carolina-and-joseph-ballanfant-bellenfant-of-tennessee-and-their-families.html Let me know if that works.

I just found some more information after going to Tennessee to gather it. Can you give me William Turner's and Obadiah's Wiki links? I can help try to find it this week. Thank You!

William Turner (abt.1804-abt.1853) and Obadiah Turner (abt.1809-abt.1875)
I'll get all their children added in case that might help. Thank you!!!
You are a member of 1776. You may put stickers on profiles you feel have been proven to have actually served in a given war, such as 1776. Now for you to prove this you need military service sources. You do have two <SAVE>.
Thanks for your interest in the 1776 Project.

If I have misunderstood your question, just ask again..
This page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Jamestown,_Virginia_Colony has all the sources for proving a Jamestown immigrant. You might want to Bookmark it. I did look up to see if he was on the other Jamestown Society list, but he is not..
Your question- about "if he came in 1624 , would that rule him out of being from Jamestown. No, if he came in 1624, and was on the 1624 muster he would qualify."
But he departed England 1609, arrliving prob 1610.!!!! I found his name on the ship list. The category was created for date of departure from England for any ship..
Mary ~ Jamestown Project Coordinator
edited by Mary Richardson
Reading the site you gave me, said he could qualify as a Resident. R - Resident or landowner, pre-1625 (anywhere in Virginia). He is not listed on the site. Are we still adding more names or families?
The reason I am asking is because his wife is my 9th or 10th GGM. She had children with William Shipp. They are listed in Julian's will as his benefactors. I need to do some more digging. On one site I saw a source for a ship manifest that had them coming over with their Mother.
It amazes me how many ancestors were in the same small Jamestown region, within a hundred years married or followed the same migration and then married in the early 1800's. Hopefully I can connect everyone with these resources you gave me. Thank you! Kelly
However you have to search the links listed there to find his name. He immigrated to Jamestown on the
Please lool at the original profile, which I have edited and added the information and links to. Check this again https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Julian-21. The ship manifest shows his name listed.
Mary ~ Jamestown Project Coordinator
One more thing, I noticed you are also on the Jamestown Team. If/when you begin working on those ancestors, and need help proving they were at Jamestown, just give a shout out to me. That one needs very good sources to prove the immigration, and arrival, etc...
Mary Team Leader- Jamestown Team
I found a couple of relatives that arrived in the Jamestown area around 1624. I found a couple of book sources on Genealogy Gopher and I want to verify ship manifests. Here is the wiki profile and his wife Sarah. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Julian-21 It was a GED com file and I adopted it to add sources. Also, when they came over in ships they dropped them off in specific areas such as Elizabeth City. I was reading one of the source books intro's and it said they created 8 counties or shires when they arrived. So if they came in 1624 when the King of England took over from the Virginia company, is this still considered an original Jamestown arrival? Kelly

I sent a message June 5. This is the final message to give you another shout out to respond on your activity in the last two months in Southern Colonies. Polling is done in June and January.
I sent you a check-in message over a week ago about the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have no yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?
Please answer of your Southern colonies activities in the last two months.. If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Your message was actually from the 1776 link. Since you said you were active on Virginia profiles, I have marked you active for Southern Colonies for this 6 month period.
For PPP profiles of Southern Colonies: usually this is to deter merges and deter editing of these profiles without good sources linked to the edits. (You cannot do this at all on the Google groups.) If the edit is a large edit, it is good to post a message at the bottom of that profile page. Then any edit of these just like other profiles, should be documented in the horizontal above the Biography to show why you are editing.. All edits and changes are reflected in the Changes section.
The Google groups are for communication with all of Southern Colonies members. When you send a message on Google group, all members will receive it. This is the link for that. https://groups.google.com/g/wikitree-us-southern-colonies
Thank you for your questions. If you need further guidance, the Project Coordinator pre 1700 profiles is Jillaine Smith.

I'm contacting you re: Doctor Robert (Robert Doctor) McManus profile you recently fixed. George Speed, may not be with us now, I have contacted him by email though . . . This boys name is actually Doctor Robert McManus. In our area of South Carolina (and maybe elsewhere?) the given name "Doctor" was not uncommon. I'm going to go ahead and fix this and put in the source link (ancestry unfortunately and only a list no real death records).

Please can you PM / e-mail me your e-mail address and team(s) selection so I can get you into the project?

I am trying to reconcile the profiles you created in the Hatcher Family. Please remember that as a part of your Pre-1700 certification you should be searching for existing profiles before creating new profiles. I think I have found all the duplicates, but, if you see more, please make sure to propose the merges.
Hope you find your connection.
Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

P.S. Some people have trouble accessing the new member link from their email. If this happens, you can click on it from your profile page.
To add your family members to the global family of WikiTree, you will need to first become a full member. Currently, you are a guest member and to change that, go to your Navigation Home Page and follow the prompts to complete a few Tags indicating your genealogical interests and follow that by volunteering to become a WikiTree genealogist.
When you volunteer, a Greeter will convert your membership status from guest to full member and provide you with a comprehensive tutorial called New Member How To Pages. These are great tools to start your journey in WikiTree. Some guests have trouble with this process and if you find that happening for you, please contact me again and we can work together to get your status to full member.
Cindy ~ WikiTree Greeter
The confirmation for WikiTree Guest access comes to you as an email, so you need to check your inbox and spam folder. If you cannot find the email, a new confirmation email can be generated at E-mail confirmation problems. This is all a process for the WikiTree server to become acquainted with your email server and vice versa so the computers can route the emails properly, so this process is primarily done by the machines with a little help from you. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything about WikiTree. :-)
