If you know details of your ancestor's DAR service, please update his record. Safford-302 Thank You

I want to give you the missing information on James George Bristow. Born 1696- died 1783. Son of John and Michal Nichols Bristow. He first married Anne Jones November 1717 who died within a year, then married Mary Twyman. They had 8 children. Mary 27 Aug 1718, Catherine 12 Dec 1721, George B. 8 Apr 1723, Anna 28 Oct 1726, Jane 22 July 1736, Robert 16 Feb 1759. This is an error because Mary passed away in 1744. Two other children, Averilla and Elizabeth have no birthdates. I would only believe the first 5 birthdates unless more research finds the answer. James had 10 siblings with John and Michal, and three with John and Mary Goodloe Carter, his second wife. Look on Ancestry for John Bristow, 1649-1716 and get their names.

Hi ,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful. Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies. If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles. Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations. If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. _____ Matt~ WikiTree Mentor

Wow, Scotty! You are really adding a lot of good information to the global tree, and the photos are wonderful!

I'm glad you found the link, Scotty. I hope you have more photos to add. We're always pleased to have more cousins join our branch of the worldwide family tree. :)

Hi! I see you have uploaded your DNA for comparison. Did you know we have a project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening? If you are interested and would like to check it out, go to the FIND link top right of your profile page, select PROJECTS from the drop down box, and then select the link for the DNA project. It has information listed that might be of interest to you, and feel free to contact any of the members if you would like additional details. ~Michele~

Hi Scotty

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need any help getting started check out the Help section,or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)

I was bitten by the genealogy bug in 1980 and have not yet recovered. I was quite pleased to read the Mission Statement, as there are so many sites out there that allow anyone to post anything, factual or not, and it gets copied over and over as fact. Having researched my own tree for so many years, I started assisting friends and then found connections between their trees and mine. Makes the thought of one worldwide family tree very plausible and very exciting. I am looking forward to continuing this "cause"
