Biography
Hello everyone, I became interested in genealogy because it combines several of my interests: history, diverse cultures, and linguistics. I have completed a Spanish major and am seeking work as a translator. I would be happy to do what I can to help with translation, and I am excited by this project.
Languages
Here are the languages I am studying and my levels of fluency. I think that every little bit helps so I never stop learning what I can. I was inspired to learn as many languages as possible after being able to translate for a Russian man in an emergency. I realized that you never know when you can help someone by knowing even a little of their language! If you need help translating something let me know and I'll be happy to try. :)
- French: Fluent. I took classes from 8th grade through high school and have continued to study on my own.
- Haitian Creole: Beginner. I am self-taught and can read it better than I can speak it due to its similarity to French.
- Portuguese: High intermediate. Self-taught, also had exposure to the language as a child through a family friend from Brazil and from classmates from Brazil.
- Spanish: Fluent. I have completed an A.A. degree in Spanish. I have volunteered with organizations in my community that are predominantly Spanish speaking.
- Italian: High intermediate, self-taught.
- Romanian: Beginner, self-taught.
- Russian: Intermediate. I took two semesters in college and am continuing to study on my own.
- Ukrainian: Beginner, self-taught.
- Polish: Beginner, self-taught.
- Czech: Beginner, self-taught.
- Hungarian: Beginner, self-taught.
- Finnish: Beginner, self-taught.
- German: Intermediate, mostly self-taught. My mom has German heritage and taught me some German as a child. This is the first foreign language I learned.
- Dutch: Low intermediate, self-taught
- Danish: Beginner, self-taught
- Swedish: Beginner, self-taught
- Norwegian: Beginner, self-taught
- Greek: Beginner, self-taught
- Armenian: Beginner, self-taught. I have not learned to read in this language yet.
- Turkish: Beginner, self-taught.
- Arabic: Beginner, self-taught. I heard this language spoken often as a child because I had a lot of classmates from Arabic speaking countries. I have not learned to read in this language yet.
- Amharic: Beginner, self-taught. I have not learned to read in this language yet. My younger sister took a DNA test and discovered that she has Ethiopian heritage, so I decided to learn the language.
- Swahili: Beginner, self-taught.
- Hindi: Beginner, self-taught. I have not learned to read in this language yet.
- Indonesian: Beginner, self-taught.
- Korean: Beginner, self-taught. I heard this language spoken often as a child because I had a lot of classmates from South Korea. I haven't learned to read in this language yet.
- Japanese: Beginner, self-taught.
- Vietnamese: Beginner, self-taught
- Mandarin: Beginner, self-taught. My aunt and cousin have Chinese heritage and I speak Mandarin with them sometimes. I struggle with the tones and am working hard to learn how to read in this language.

It has almost 6000 “Finnish” errors at the moment of various importance. Every week a new error report is generated, fixed errors are removed and if there are new ones they’re added. The huge backlog is steadily being chipped away at thanks to the Data Doctors project and everyone else who chips in. Once a year we all come together to help make Wikitree the most accurate family tree website online, the spring clean a thon! T-shirts are handed out and bragging right are claimed! ;)
If you click one of the numbers on the “spreadsheet” above, say one of the “dates missing” errors you get to one of these pages: https://www.softdata.si/wt/Err_20210321/FIN/134_60_0.htm
Click one of the status buttons and you will see an overview of the error and you may link further to the profile in question, you correct it if you can and go back to set the error as fixed, record your wikitreeID and save the status. If someone else comes along they can see that you already fixed the problem. If the error is not really an error like they suspect the name is wrong because it is so unique but there is a source that proves it’s right or it’s a name that is common for that country, this can be marked as a false error. Or maybe the error can not be corrected because the profile is locked, you can leave a comment for the profile manager about the error so they might open the profile or correct it themselves. Then you mark it as not fixed but state that a message was posted for the PM. Once the status is set this counts as a point for you and your team during that weekend! Fun!
Here is a customized list of errors and suggestions for your profiles: https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=err2&WikiTreeID=Johnson-84436&
Even if you just log on that weekend and work on your own list it makes a huge difference for the tree.
