Charleen Bertsch is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.
Charleen is the daughter of Tony Bertsch and Dorothy Struckmeier. She always loved the old photos her mother had, and wondered where her family came from. Her mother gave her the photos and she made copies for her siblings. Charleen and her sister Gin are the only ones in the family that have any interest in Genealogy. Charleen has been married to her second husband for over 25 years and they have a son. Her daughter from her first marriage has 3 children. Charleen graduated from a 2-year college, while working. She’s retired, and spending a lot of time working on her big tree on Ancestry.com, member cmbwills.
DNA
Charleen did Ancestry DNA test. The results were: Europe West 42%, Ireland 32%, Italy/Greece 15%, Scandinavia 5%, Great Britain 3%, plus trace regions, for a total of Europe 99%. Current test numbers are the same, but Ireland in now called Ireland/Scotland/Wales which is more accurate, Italy/Greece is called Europe South. Her sister Gin’s results were: Europe West 57%, Ireland/Scotland/Wales 14%, Great Britain 9%, Europe South 8%, plus Low Confidence Regions: Finland, Scandinavia, and others.
Charleen also did Family Tree DNA and mtDNA tests. Her haplogroup is J1c2. The test results were: Western and Central Europe 59%, British Isles 37%, Scandinavia 2%, and Southern Europe 2%, for a total of European 100%. The test results were good, until FamilyTree decided to change their testing. The new results combined all German, French, Irish, and Scaninavian ancestors into British Isles. The new test resuts: British Isles 87%, and Southeast Europe 9%, for total of 96% European. Charleen contacted FamilyTree about the change, but they insist it’s correct.
Germans from Russia
Charleen’s father's ancestors are part of a group known as Germans from Russia. Russia encouraged and helped German farmers move from Alsace (Elsass in German) to Kutschurgan, near Odessa, Russia (now Ukraine), in 1808.[1] They were allowed to set up their own churches and communities. They did well until the new Russian Ruler took over and turned on them. A lot of the family immigrated to USA and Canada, in the late 1800's. Grandfather, Martin Bertsch, immigrated in 1899, with his parents and siblings, and had a farm in North Dakota, USA. Those that didn't leave Russia suffered tremendously during WWI and WWII. Her father, Tony Bertsch, and his older brothers were WWII Veterans. Tony received 2 Purple Hearts and the Bronze Star.
Alsace-Lorraine is a region in Eastern France along the Rhine River that borders Germany and Switzerland. For centuries both France and Germany have fought for control of the area, which has alternated between them. The area is a mixture cultures and languages. In addition to her father’s German ancestors, her mother’s French Huguenot ancestors also came from this area and immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1733, and 1738.
Mayflower Ancestors
Charleen’s mother's ancestors were here for a long time and some were traced back to the Mayflower. A smaller ship, Speedwell, was supposed to travel with the Mayflower to Virginia, but it was too leaky for the voyage. Extra passengers were added to the Mayflower, but others had to return to England and wait a year for the ship Fortune to take them to America. The Mayflower voyage took 66 days due to bad weather that took them off course, landing them at Plymouth 9 November 1620. They weren't prepared for the cold New England weather, and half the passengers died the first winter.
Joanna (Harlow) Snell, Charleen’s 6th gr-grandmother is a documented Mayflower descendant. Joanna's grandfather, William Harlow, descended from Richard Warren who traveled alone on the Mayflower, and sent for his family when conditions improved in the New World. His family arrived July 1623 on the ship Anne. Joanna's grandmother, Lydia (Cushman) Harlow, descended from Isaac Allerton Sr. who brought his wife and children. Isaac's wife Mary had a stillborn son Dec 1620, on the ship while in Plymouth Harbor. Isaac's daughter Mary (Allerton) Cushman, was the last surviving Mayflower Passenger, 28 November 1699.[2]

Plymouth Colony
Nathaniel Morton, Charleen’s 10th gr-grandfather, went to live with his aunt and uncle after his father died in 1624, in Plymouth, a year after they arrived on the ship Little James which arrived in with the ship Anne. Nathaniel's Aunt, Alice Carpenter, married Gov. William Bradford, after she arrived in Plymouth, on the ship Anne, in 1623. Nathaniel married Lydia Cooper and they had 9 children. Nathaniel served most of his life as Secretary of Plymouth, and most of the colony records are in his handwriting. He was first to publish a list of Mayflower Compact signers and an account of the first Thanksgiving.[3] A children's book, Sarah Morton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Girl by Kate Waters, was written about Nathaniel's younger sister Sarah Morton.
Salem Witch Trials
Ann (Alcock) Foster, Charleen’s 9th gr-grandmother, was the mother of 5 children, including her 8th gr-grandmother, Sarah Kemp. Ann's daughter Hannah Stone was killed by her husband Hugh Stone in 1689, while he was in a drunken rage. He was the first murderer in Andover, Massachusetts and was hung. In 1692, Ann, who was a widow, was accused of being a witch, along with her daughter Mary Lacey, and granddaughter Mary Lacey. Two afflicted girls from Salem were brought to Andover to find a witch. They fell into fits when they saw an old woman, Ann Foster. That's all it took to get arrested and tortured. Ann was tried, convicted, and condemned to death. She died at age 75 in the Salem jail on December 3, 1692. Her daughter plead guilty and was pardoned. Ann, through daughter Hannah, was the ancestor of Chester Alan Arthur, who became the 21st President of the United States, in 1881. See Famous Cousins below for list of accused and executed relatives.
Pennsylvania Immigrants
Revolutionary War
Ancestors of Susan (Balliet) Swartz, Charleen’s 4th gr-grandmother, were very involved during the Revolutionary War in Pennsylvania, including all 4 of Susan's gr-grandfathers and her 2nd gr-grandfather John "Jacob" Mickley Jr. who helped hide the Liberty Bell from the British. Jacob was a private in the militia. In September 1777, Jacob and his son took a load of grain and potatoes to Philadelphia to sell, and he was asked to use his horses and wagon to hide the Liberty Bell. They feared the British would melt the bells into cannons. The wagon, with the heavy bell hidden under manure, broke down and Frederick Loeser used his wagon to finish the trip. For almost a year, 11 Bells were hidden under Jacob's church, Zion Reformed Church, in Northampton (now Allentown). Jacob lived nearby and helped build the church. He hauled 6 wagon loads of stone and was hired as a carpenter. The church was used as a military hospital while Philadelphia was occupied. The church, now called Zion Reformed United Church of Christ, is on The National Register of Historic Places, and the Liberty Bell Museum is located inside the church. A children's book, Saving the Liberty Bell by Megan McDonald, was written about 11-year old John Jacob Mickley, his father, and their role in saving the Liberty Bell.
Jacob Mickley's daughter Sarah married Henry Blumer, son of Rev. Abraham Blumer, Pastor of Zion Reformed Church who kept the bells hidden under the church. Jacob's oldest daughter Catharine married John Balliet, Charleen’s 7th gr-grandparents. John, as a young man, first served under his brother as a private, later promoting to Captain. John's brother, Colonel Stephen Balliet, was married to Jacob's cousin Magdalena Burkhalter. Jacob, his brothers, uncle, cousin, brother-in-law, son-in-law, and their relatives fought for their country's freedom.

Military relatives are from many lines. Currently working on Balliet/Swartz line who immigrated in 1700’s to Pennsylvania from Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Searching for Ancestors using WikiTree Relationship Finder
Relationship and common ancestor, using WikiTree Relationship Finder.[3][4][5] Relationship changes when changes are made to WikiTree. (Uncertain) means a WikiTree member is not sure if someone in the relationship line is the correct father, mother, son or daughter.
Using WikiTree Relationship Finder: Relationship Finder is great but has some limitations. It only shows one relationship line to the person you’re searching, the longest line. Unfortunately, the longest line is usually the one you don’t want since it makes the person a more distant relative. It’s correct, but not your closest relationship to the person you’re searching. Several direct ancestors only show up as a cousin. 24th gr-grandmother only showed up as 4th cousin 24xr. She’s a cousin of another direct ancestor. This means you need to search the same person again using the WikiTree ID of different direct ancestors. Used 8th gr-grandparents a lot, along with some 12th and 16th gr-grandparents. Take the time to search 30 generations.
Note: Not all individuals are adequately documented on WikiTree. Some lines will be incorrect! Undocumented lines are included for future research.

Magna Carta was a British charter drawn up to protect the rights of barons and place limits on an abussive King that needed money. Most were rights the barons were already supossed to have, but were never put in writing. It was created to make peace between the barons and King John (22ggf), in 1215. Of the 25 Surety Barons who signed and vowed to protect the Magna Carta, only 17 had descendants past the 4th generation.
William d’Aubigny - cousin, Mainwaring line; 24th ggf, Kemp line; 26th gr-grandfather, Hayward line
Robert de Ros - 23rd ggf, Mainwaring; 24th ggf Kemp; 26th gr-grandfather, Hayward through Skipwith
Geoffrey de Say - cousin, Mainwaring; 24th gr-grandfather Kemp; 26th gr-grandfather (uncertain), Hayward
Robert de Vere - 23rd ggf, Mainwaring through Torbock; 24th ggf, Kemp; 25th ggf, Hayward
Polly Kemp, her husband John Hayward, and their daughter-in-law Lucy Brown are distant cousins, so they have similar relationships. Polly and John are 11th cousins twice removed. Their closest common ancestors are Roger Wentworth and wife Margery (Despenser) Wentworth. Roger and Margery are Polly’s 10th great grandparents, and John’s 12th great grandparents. Margery is a descendant of Magna Carta surety barons.
Magna Carta Gateway Ancestors are well documented descendants who came to the American colonies.
Edward Kemp is a Magna Carta Gateway Ancestor. He was born about 1610 in England and died 17 December 1668, in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. He’s a relative of Mary “Polly” (Kemp) Hayward. Some believe Polly’s 2nd gr-grandfather Samuel Kemp is the son of Edward, but Edward calls Samuel his kinsman in his will. If Samuel is his nephew, relationship levels won’t change. If he’s a cousin, the relationship number may change. Edward and his brothers are known Magna Carta descendants.
Oliver Mainwaring (Manwarming) III is a Magna Carta Gateway Ancestor. He is a descendant of Magna Carta surety baron Saher de Quincy through his father Oliver Mainwaring II. Oliver III was born 16 March 1634, in England, and died 3 November 1723, in New London, Connecticut. 8th gr-grandfather through Lucy (Brown) Hayward, wife of Nehemiah Hayward, son of John and Polly.

Regarding the family of Nathaniel Harlow. My interest is in the Lucas family and the ancestors of Patience Lucas. There seems to be some question regarding the parentage of Patience (Warren) Lucas. https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Harlow-Family-Tree-1540
There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.
If you havent already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as Template:1776 for those who bore arms in the Revolution. Thank you.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.
Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

On behalf of the Project Black Sheep Leaders, we are doing a six-month check-in with members. Please let me know, by commenting on my profile or sending a private message, if you are still active in the project, and if so, how you have contributed to the main project or a sub-project within the last two months.
All of us at WikiTree would like to thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details. The Teams are :-
? Can you let me know if youd like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) youd like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the projects Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.
Many thanks,
Maria
just a word (late) to congratulate you on the contributions you made during the month of November. Whatever the quantity, they are all important.
Your work is appreciated.
Thanks

There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.
If you havent already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as Template:1776 for those who bore arms in the Revolution. Thank you.
Thank you - this puts the 3 way match question to rest.
Best, Sheryl
