Biography

I am interested in finding out more about my fathers family. I have learned that my birth name should not have been Wright and that I have cousins that I have never met. My grandfather changed his name from Chipman to Wright when he filled out his social security card, and never went back. My fathers DNA matches Chipman. I am now trying to locate the Ryan family, that my 2nd great grandmother was born to, in Canada.

Hi Karen

Thanks self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.

It looks like the United States Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Do you have any questions? Let me know by using the "reply" link under my comments or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message. . I'm happy to help! :-)

Hi Karen

You have been a member about a week. How is it going so far. Was the first page of the How-Tos helpful or did it leave you with questions? 

When you click the green tags on your profile page, you can see if others follow that tag. Add locations, Country, County or town the more tags you add the more links to community & research options. You can find more information here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tags.

If links don't work in emails, check the comments on your profile, links will work from there.  

Any questions please ask in the comment of my page or send a private message.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.

Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.

Once you add profiles to WikiTree they become searchable and in my experience persons interested in these profiles will contact you and may provide further information to expand your family tree.

Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.

Ludwig :)
