Biography
I started doing genealogical research because I knew so little about my family background. I was told I was 100% Irish and that everybody on both sides came over to the US during the potato famine in the 1800's. I was told that even our family name - Anderson - was Irish, as in "Andrew's son" rather than Scandinavian. I've learned that almost none of that is true.
I didn't even know my grandparents' names because all of them were deceased before I was born. I had lots of questions about my mother's adoption and my father's Kentucky roots. And I want to gather information for my children and grandchildren.
My husband has a large extended family, and the family had boxes and boxes of inherited scrapbooks and photo albums which were gathering dust. Someone had to step up and see what was inside. So we have jumped in together to find out about my family "from scratch," and to categorize and organize what his family already had while uncovering lots more information.
What I like best isn't the dates and statistics (I'm really terrible with numbers!), but the stories such as finding out who moved from here to there and why? I also enjoy the intellectual challenge, the puzzle, when only partial information is available...and that's always the case in genealogy. It's been a steep learning curve, and I still have a tremendous amount to learn.
But I love the idea of connecting us all into one big family tree - how can that possibly be a bad idea??
I have a Master's Degree in English and wrote my thesis on the Harry Potter Books, so I just HAD to get a Sourcerer's badge. Hooray for Wikitree!

The Profile Improvement Project (PIP) is performing a check-in with project members. Please review the following and let us know if you are content where we have placed you or would like to be more involved.
The Project operates in a team structure. There are currently three participant PIP Teams -- The Maintenance Category Team, the Unknowns Team, and the Biography Team. 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 the leader of the Unknowns Team. We appreciate all of your work. Are you happy with the Team you are on? If you are interested in working with a different Team, please let us know.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup and text chat Discord channel for our project. (You will need your Wiki ID for both). 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. Please share your thoughts in a reply to this comment or via private message to one of us.
Sincerely, Debi Hoag and Kay Knight, Co-Leaders, Profile Improvement Project Robin Shaules, Project Coordinator, Profile Improvement Project
