Biography

Crown of St Edward

I was born in Orlando Florida January 10, 1967. I grew up, largely, between two places: Orlando and Lake Charles, Lousiana. My grandparents were Acadian and spoke French. I learned French from them, albeit the patois that was associated with "Cajuns". I was very lucky to have this life as I had the best of both city and country life.

I learned to hunt and cook pretty much anything. I spent my summers fishing and shrimping with my papaw and cooking with my mamaw. I learned to skin catfish, shuck oysters, butcher pigs, can fruits and pickle vegetables and make bread. (I spent way too much time in the fig and mulberry trees and under the muscadine vines.) I spent my winters with them during college and made blue-ribbon cane syrup after spending the mornings cutting cane.

I spent time in Ville Platte at the family reunions with my grandfather's side (Castete) and remember these things very fondly.

I went away to college in Texas and ultimately, married and settled in San Antonio. I have two children.

Correction Update: I used wrong person Caroline Bourg and redid with UNK relationship.
  • Maternal relationship is confirmed through Mitochondrial DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. Christy Woodward, FTDNA Kit # B884943, and her maternal line cousin UNK (a direct matrilineal descendant of Marie Caroline Bourg), Kit # 96844, have an exact HVR1, HVR2, and coding region match, thereby confirming their direct maternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Jeanne Aucoin, the 10x great grandmother of Christy Woodward and the 9x grandmother of UNK. See this diagram from the Mothers of Acadia DNA Project for more information.

Hello Christie,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

The France Project or the Acadians Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

If you have any questions, click reply below this message and I will get back to you.

Hi Christy,

Thank you for your message. Yes you can download your tree as a GEDCOM and then upload it on here. When you log in to Ancestry click on your tree and select the tree setting, on the right hand side under manage your tree click on export your tree and that will start the GEDCOM, it takes a few minutes, once it has downloaded you can then upload it on here. It will take a few minutes to upload, and you will get a message through when it is ready. The GEDCOM will not automatically populate your tree, it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches, once you have done this any remaining names will need to be added manually

There is a limit of 5000 names with the GEDCOM.

This link will help you when working through your report https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:2018_GEDCOMpare_Process

If you have more than 5,000, you can split your tree https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Splitting-an-Ancestry-Family-Tree

I have done this and to be honest I found it very time consuming, more so than adding each person manually. If you use Chrome they have an extension WikiTree X, this is the way I add most of my people on to here,

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:WikiTree_X

These links will help you with adding your DNA here, when you get it through https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:GEDMatch https://www.gedmatch.com/login1.php https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Help:_Add_a_DNA_test_to_your_profile

I hope these help you, any problems please let me know

Take care Karen

Christy, per the above note, it is possible to upload your GEDCOM, but I hope you haven't done that. From what many people say, it's better to go one at a time and review for already existing profiles first before loading each one. Duplicates on Wikitree use a lot of computer time redirecting to the final merged profile, so we try to avoid them when at all possible. I've already proposed about 7 duplicates for you and would like to avoid more if at all possible.

A tip, when you complete a merge of duplicates (that you for doing that timely), then you need to review the combined profile and sources to eliminate duplicate headings, sources, verbiage, etc. You might need to move things around to get them in a good order for the combined profile. I just did the one for Genevieve Robichaud (which was harder than most) and maybe looking at the final version would give you an idea of what should happen.

Feel free to check in with me anytime you have a question! I've appreciated your recent comments on some profiles - it's a very helpful way to get involved while you are learning, too.
