Biography

I grew up on a cattle ranch in Nebraska before going to the East Coast for college in hopes of seeing the world. I spent several years in academia without being able to select a field to specialize in, but loved being a student. Realizing that I'm a confirmed generalist, I settled into making a living as a free-lance writer and editor so I would always have something new to learn.

Historical research is a passion of mine, and genealogy suits that very well. I enjoy digging into resources and finding the details that tell the story.

Hi Deanna,

The GEDCOM will not automatically populate your tree, it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches. Once you have done this the data from your file will be filled in on the add profile screen so that you can review and make adjustments before saving

One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that I found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, let us know by using the "reply" link under our comments or by clicking our names to visit our profiles. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.

Take care

Hi Deanna

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Also noticed you made 305 contributions to Wikitree, thank you! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!

Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors?

Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.

Again, thanks for volunteering to work on Pre-1700 profiles!
