I have worked on my personal genealogy for about 25 years. My main concentration is the surname Surber, a name that originates in the Surb River Valley of Switzerland. There were relatively few Surbers who came to the Colonies in the early days. I am putting all of the ones who descend from Henry Surber who arrived aboard the Mercury in 1735 into one tree. I have taken them back to the Original Immigrant and forward to the 1940 census. I have not entered my entire database on WikiTree so if you have questions, private message me.

My current project is working with my Ancestry DNA to break down some brick walls that have been resistant to typical genealogy tools. I have managed to find several family lines that way.

Hi Elvina,

I'm a Surber descendant, too. Harold Wendell Surber was my paternal grandfather. Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too! Are you named for your grandmother?

Sure am! How'd you guess?! :) My middle name is my maternal grandma's name.

Hi Elvina,

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If you will be working with any profiles needing GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources; find or merge duplicates; clean up GEDCOM or merged biographies; or interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Debi

PS. Looks like you had to do some merging. Would you edit your profile to remove the duplicate headings that start with =. Thanks!

Hi Elvina, I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago about Adoption Angels. If you don't see it, can you check your spam? If you didn't get it, I'll resend. Thanks, Emma

I have been working on my genealogy for about 20 years. I have worked mostly on the Surber family and have quite a bit of information on that family.
