Shortly after the death of our mother, my sister suggested that we begin doing some genealogical research on our mother's family. We knew most of our aunts, but knew little about our uncles or our maternal grandparents.
As one trail led to another, and as the internet made finding records easier, here I am with a full-time hobby. I have connected with so many new family members that a Facebook group was created so that we could share information and stories.
Feel free to contact me anytime. I'm always here.
Born 1950s.

Biography
We Are the Chosen
"In each family there is one who seems called to find the Ancestors;
To put flesh on their bones and make them seem alive again;
To tell the family story and feel that they somehow know and would approve.
"Doing Genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but a breathing of life into all who have gone before.
"We are the storytellers of the tribe."
Candyce (Wright) Fulford competed in the 2023 WikiGames.
Candyce has completed the Profile Improvement Project's Voyage
Candyce spends way too much time on WikiTree.
Candyce has written and improved fifty profiles for the Biography Builders Challenge.
My mother told me that she named me "Candyce" as a tribute to Candice Bergen, the young daughter of a person she admired - Edgar Bergen.
My Family Lines
| Paternal: Wright | Maternal: Jackson |
| Richard Wright Sr 1928 - Living | Kathleen (Jackson) Wright 1932 - 1988 |
| George Wright Jr 1901 - 1992 | Lewis Jackson 1881 - 1963 |
| George Wright Sr 1858 - 1931 | John Jackson 1856 - 1945 |
| George Wright 1828 - 1916 | Jerry Jackson Sr 1818 - abt. 1911 |
| Caleb Wright 1794 - 1869 | |
| Phinehas Wright 1754 - 1812 | |
| Ephraim Wright 1704 - 1758 |
It is quite possible that my Paternal line could be followed back to the Wrights of Kelvedon, or Kelvedon Hatch in England, stemming from the son known as "John the Middle".
My Maternal line can only be followed back to early to mid-19th century Virginia. My great-great-grandfather, Jeremiah Jackson, was an emancipated slave.
Early Years
Candyce (Wright) Fulford is a New Hampshirite.
I was born in Claremont, New Hampshire in 1951 and lived with both of my parents in various New Hampshire towns until the age of 18 when I was married.
My first school was a two-room schoolhouse in Temple, New Hampshire. Grades 1 through 4 were in one room and grades 5 through 8 were in another. I clearly remember enjoying my time in first grade as I sang my very first solo and acted in several scenes in one of our school's performances.
My WikiTree Directive
To aid WikiTree in the administration of my account should I be incapacitated, or in the event of my death, I do hereby give permission for all private and public profiles I'm presently managing to be transferred to community members on my trusted list or to the Leadership Team to be farmed out to any interested party or parties.

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in. The Project operates in a team structure with these participant PIP Teams -- The Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and three Biography Teams. There is also the Voyage Team which guides new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team.
You're currently identified as a member of the Biography Team, working on profiles from your watchlist and other profiles that interest you. The other two Biography Teams work on Abandoned and Popular profiles from the provided lists. Please let us know if you are content with your current Team or would like to change to one of the others.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project meet its goals. We would like to hear about the successes you’ve had and would also appreciate any feedback you have to help improve the Project.

I wish that there would be another French Family Reunion coming soon, but the event has not been continued for awhile now.
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.
Congratulations. By writing and improving 50 biographies in the Biography Builders Challenge, you are qualified to display our Achievement Sticker. Just add Biography Builders 50 (enclosed in {{ }} ) to your profile. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Bob

I posted a check-in message a couple of weeks ago about the US Black Heritage Project to ask you about your activity with the project, but haven’t heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things. You’re always welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Thanks, Emma MacBeath, USBH Project Co-Leader

I’m conducting the 6-month check in for the US Black Heritage Project. Because we are growing so fast, it’s not always possible for me to see what everyone’s working on.
I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Heritage Exchange and Profile Improvement teams. Members can change teams at any time.
Emma
Cheers, Liz
edit - the perils of cut & paste... default text is "a New Hampshirite." (not "an")

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing its first annual check-in with our project members. We are in the process of transitioning to a team structure. There will be three participant PIP Teams to start -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. There is also the Voyage Team who guide new Voyagers. See the Profile Improvement Project Teams for a brief outline of each team. Please let us know which team(s) you would like to participate in.
For those of you who joined the Project before the Voyage started in late 2018, we would like to invite you to consider a "fast track" Voyage, especially if you plan to join the Biography Team. If you’re interested, choose a profile that you have completed to the best of your ability and compare it to the Voyage Biography Standards. If you’re at Level 2 or better, include a link to the profile in your response to this check-in for a “fast track” review.
We would also like to invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (When you request to join our GoogleGroup, please be sure to include your Wiki ID). You will find more information on the GoogleGroup.
We thank you for all you do to help the Profile Improvement Project and WikiTree. The Project’s mission is to:
We know you’re working on profiles *smile* We would like to hear about successes you’ve had toward the Project’s goals. We would also appreciate any feedback you might have to help us improve the Project. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or privately via private message to either of us.

Thank you for again contributing to the Sourcerers Challenge in January! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

I'll continue to help.

I’d love to hear what you’ve been working on and if you are still happy being a part of the Profile Improvement and Slavery teams. Members can change teams at any time. If you need something to work on, we now have a master task list here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Black_Heritage_Project_Tasklist
We now have a project badge! Hooray! As soon as I hear back from you that you’d like to continue with the project, I will add the badge to your profile.
I look forward to hearing from you,

Hope that helps! :-)

Thanks, Bob
The Global Cemeteries Project is currently undergoing our member check-in and wanted to verify that you are still active and interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Cemetery Teams? If not, is there a particular Team or area you are interested in participating with? I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!
We use Google Groups for internal project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup for access feel free to submit a join request and we will get that approved as quick as possible. We also ask that members check their follwed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (CEMETERIES) so you don't miss any disucssions in G2G.
Last, but not least, we would like to thank you for all of your contributions to WikiTree and let you konw that any ideas or suggestions for improvement you may have for the Global Cemeteries Project would greatly appreciated!

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the United States Project would be a good fit based your recent contributions to 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. I'm happy to help! :-)
