I have always wanted to be a detective , I think what really got me going is finding out that my great Grandmother was murdered . Nobody in older generation wanted to talk about it .. My grandfather was about 3 years old when this happened to his mother . He winded up with a metal plate on the top of his head . He never wanted to talk about , everything was such a secret .. So I started searching I wanted to know . Took me awhile but I found out . I found newspaper articles and just by finding and digging . Then I was so excited I started building my tree and helping others . since 2008 . I want to apologize ahead of time if I make any mistakes , I'm always willing to learn new things .

Congratulations on getting your DNA tested! Do you know which branches are Portuguese yet? To join the Portugal Project you just need to answer this post.
Best of luck with your family research!

It is usually a good idea to not delete family trees, even those with broken links. I usually put them at the bottom part of the sources in a "see also:" portion. Some members are able to take parts of the tree ID number and find the tree and get valuable source leads. I've modified the profile and you'll see what I usually do with them. And I mark them as broken links so that if someone finds the tree again, they can update the link, or, if the tree has no useful info, they can delete the link and make a note of it. The old link can always be found in the change log.
Hope this helps!

Look forward to learning more about your Duran and other lines in New Mexico. Some last names the same as yours. Thank you for posting your ancestry.
This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?
Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.
Thanks for adopting the Orphaned Profiles. David shared the After Adopting Orphans. Let either of us know if you have questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, or interpret the Suggestions report.
I'm here to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send a private message.

Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Mexico Project would be a good fit with the profiles you entered. Adding the tag Mexico will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

A warm welcome to WikiTree. You are now a full member and can add your family to the big tree!
Click here to start with our New Member How To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!
