I have been researching my family tree for over 40 years. Growing up my grandmother and great grandmother would share family photos and stories with me. I always longed to know more. I enjoy history and researching my ancestors has made history come alive in a very personal way. My late father and I had many great conversations and interesting discoveries working on our tree together. Now as I continue to look for the connections and stories behind my ancestors I do so as a legacy for my children and grandchildren.
Right now the biggest family mystery I am working on is trying to find the African American ancestors that passed their Nigerian DNA down to my mother and me.
I am also working here on WikiTree to create profiles for those who were enslaved by some of my ancestors. I hope this will help connect them to their descendants.

I have been taking a little break to work on other parts of my tree. I hope you had a good holiday season.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!
It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

We are so pleased you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
