I was born in southern Ontario but moved to the United States in the early 1960's when my father took a position in the States.
I became interested in finding out more about the Lansing side of the family because my father didn't know much about his family, so I joined ancestry. I have been disappointed in the way errors are propagated in the family trees in ancestry because of the copy and paste function. I stumbled upon wikitree perhaps searching for free genealogy sites, and I was impressed with the emphasis on documenting sources. I also looked at the Gerrit Lansing entry because my understanding is that many if not most of the Lansings in the US and Canada may have descended from him, and I was impressed at the discussion of whether or not he actually immigrated to the States or if only some or all of his children came. Because of these two things, I joined wikitree. And I'm very pleased to have been made so welcome!
