anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
Here is my family tree.
I'm happy to talk about my tree, any profiles I'm managing or working on, or projects I'm involved with (currently Southern Colonies, Appalachia, and Connectors). I add a lot of profiles for extended family in addition to my direct line. If one of them is your direct ancestor who you would prefer to manage, just let me know and I'll hand them over. :)

Biography
Ashley Jones JD is a member of the Appalachia Project.
Ashley Jones JD has English ancestors.
Ashley Jones JD has German Roots.
Ashley Jones JD has Irish ancestors.
Ashley Jones JD has Scottish Ancestors.
Ashley Jones JD has Dutch Ancestry
The extraordinary confluence of fate and happenstance to bring people from so many different places together such that my family was created is nothing short of miraculous as far as I'm concerned. And every family has similarly mind-boggling stories, whether they know them or not. God works in mysterious, awe inspiring ways. Studying genealogy is a fantastic testament to that truth.
My closest non-American ancestors are from England (great grandparents), Germany (2G), Ireland and Scotland (4G). My immigrant Dutch ancestors are farther back, at least one 7G, and several 8G's who settled New York (Nieuw Amsterdam) and New Jersey.
This hobby has taught me that wandering must be in my blood. In the last 14 generations, we've so far identified 384 immigrant ancestors. They were mostly part of the Puritan Great Migration (including several Mayflower passengers), but there are also Jamestown settlers, Dutch and Palatine migrants, and a few who I am fairly certain were Irish famine refugees. My goal is to find them all. Out of 27 known 3rd great grandparents, 9 were from Tennessee, 6 from England, 3 from Georgia (US), 2 probably from Ireland, and at least one each from Canada, Germany, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, and Pennsylvania. Fully a third of these ancestors died in a different state or country than their place of birth, and I am on track to join their number someday.
Me personally, I was born in Richmond, Virginia in the early 80's, but not raised there. After a winding path through much of the southern United States, I presently reside in New Jersey. My close family are mostly in Georgia and Tennessee. I have formally studied political science and international affairs, national security, and law. Informally, I study anything that catches my interest. Persistent hobbies include music, perfumery, diet and nutrition sci-fi and fantasy literature (and romance, my guilty pleasure), and of course, genealogy and history.

Thought you might be interested as far as famous kin, we're 9th cousins once removed through common ancestor James Trowbridge (abt.1636-1717); and you have the same relation through that ancestor to our cousin, supermodel Cindy Crawford. She's a closer cousin (7th) to me through the Trowbridge line, which was featured when she was on the genealogy TV show Who Do You Think You Are?
I hope you and yours are having a great Christmas season. :)

We just started a new project on WikiTree: the Appalachia Project and we would love to have you join us. Since you are already working on profiles in Appalachia it wouldn't add to your WT work. Just a sticker and a category, here and there. To join, review the Project page, pick a regional team (or teams) and answer the G2G Membership post.

And I am not sure what you mean by disproven parents? This is all my direct line and I haven't seen any discussion or changes questioning their identification. They are well sourced.

Next Thon: Connect-A-Thon in July (tbd)
Thank you for your participation with Team Virginia in the January 2022 Connect-A-Thon. You helped bring Team Virginia to an amazing 2nd place finish. We could not have done it without you! This year's Thon members added over 85,000k new Profiles to the Global Shared Tree!!

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the US Southern Colonies Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?
If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things. After that time, the badge will be removed. Please remember you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.
Hoping to hear from you,
Best wishes,
Mary, Membership Coordinator, US Southern Colonies Project
This is the semi-annual polling for the US Southern Colonies Project. This check-in with members is to see if you have been active in the last six months in this project?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins.
I look forward to hearing from you.. Many thanks,
Mary, Project Coordinator, - Membership US Southern Colonies Project

Save the Date: October 1st through 4th, Source-A-Thon (with amazing prizes!)
I left a message on the US Southern Colonies Connectors page but also wanted to leave one here welcoming you to the team. Dig in anytime you can or have spare time.
I would like to personally invite you to join Team Virginia on the WikiTree 2021 Connect-A-Thon. We cover Virginia and all the surrounding States (including Tennessee) but you not limited to those areas. The event is Friday, July 23 to Monday, July 26. It is a great way to add your worldwide Ancestors. Whichever team you join, WikiTree benefits. :)
To join the 2021 Connect-A-Thon, answer the question on the G2G posting and let them know which Team you wish to join.
Sandy, Team Lead, Connectors - US Southern Colonies

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.
I’m going to suggest that the Puritan Great Migration project might fit your current 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.
Please take your time. Accuracy is so much more important than speed on WikiTree. And please add locations, dates, and at least one reliable source to each profile, particularly any pre-1700s profile, before you leave it. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
Have questions? Ask in the comments section of my profile.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Happy tree climbing

Lovely to meet you too, that would be great if we have a connection, if you throw some names over, I can have a look and see if I have them
Take care
Karen 🤗
My ancestors do seem to be mainly in England though, so it will probably turn up eventually. :)

Take care and have fun
