I am an avid Family tree builder, for quite a number of years now. I did take a break for a couple of years, but getting back into it again now. Usually the winter months are the best, and then usually Summer it's too nice outside to be indoors with tree Building.
My Aunt on my mother's side who lives in Maine, helped me in the very beginning to start writing down names of Aunts, Grand Aunts, etc.
She always wondered what had happened to my 2 Grand Aunts that came to America in the 1950's.

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. Sign in with the same email and password as you use for WikiTree. Start with searching on Family Search as it is free to everyone and they provide a source citation to copy and paste onto the biography for the person you are researching. If you need help, please let me know.
