the Drusilla James note below was posted by Margaret Finch Locke. Driusilla is my three times great grandmother. I descend from Elizabeth Claycomb also through her son William Finch's first marriage to Aurora (Blanchard)

Have you explored Drusilla James father as being John James born 4 Mar 1762 in Frederick MD. Died 27 Mar 1838 Rising Sun MD. John's father is Daniel James b. 9 Jun 1734 Prince George's Co MD, d 9 March 1782 Frederick Co MD. In Daniel James' will he left property to his granddaughter Drusilla James (daughter of John). I cannot find Drusilla listed as one of John's children but the will of Daniel suggested she was and there was some friction going on in the family and some members boycotted the hearing where the will was read. I can email a copy of his will if you like. Hope I can find it. Correspondence over many years strongly suggest this is her family.

I just did some really hair pin turns in the Owen tree. If this Kezia wasn't sourced, it may mean I put her in by hand, so not to loose her. I can't upload my Ged-com as it's too large and goes back too far without deleting. So please, do put what you removed back with a not that it needs to be sourced. There were feuds and other conditions that make this difficult, so you really have to double check. And don't use find a grave as a source, just a clue. I think there may have been a marriage record I found on this. It's not my direct line (YET) so if it's something your family insists on I'll live with it.

Suzanne; I hope that you are right, but I believe the Keziah Owens was there right wife of Thomas Penick. I seldom put up info that I haven't found evidence to substantiate, but I must admit, sometimes the proof doesn't upload and I am extremely busy at working to get the information I have been working on at Ancestry for up to Wiki tree. I have years (over 5 this time out) and over 20 into this research. But I could of also grabbed and ran. I would ask that you please put in the bio, that she may have possibly been the spouse of. There are a lot of Owen marrying Owens and getting the right one is tough at times. So if we revisit it, it would be nice to have the bit of info on her bio rather than trow it out with the bath water.

Hi Suzanne,

This is your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

This tour has covered a lot of ground so far. Our last stop gives you a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

Suzanne,

You've probably been hard at work adding family members and getting connected to those that are already here. You should have at least a few profiles that you manage now. So, this week we're going to look at how to work with your Watchlist: How to Manage Your Watchlist.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Hi Suzanne,

You've been here for three weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions!

Thanks, Cindy

Hi Thanks for joining us!

Suzanne-

You are now a confirmed member, and you can get started adding your family members. As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.

Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.

Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.

You can also meet some of our members by joining in the fun with our Question of the Week in the G2G forum:  Do you have a favorite photo of an ancestor?

Hello Suzanne,

Welcome to the WikiTree family!

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team! I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started. When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history.

Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

Charlotte (Georgia, USA)

P.S. I'm happy to answer any questions!
