Biography
I was born in Hendersonville, NC of parents from Union County, SC, They got married after WWII and moved up into the mountains. My Mom and Dad were actually 3rd cousins. The Crosbys and Meadors were related on through several generations and also with other families who had gradually moved from Colonial Virginia, down through North Carolina, and then to upstate South Carolina. In SC, these families gradually settled in Fairfield County first, then moved into Chester County and then across the Broad River to Union County. At one point my spouse and I moved into my maternal grandparent's old farmhouse, part of which was originally an old store building and dates back to before 1870. My father's home in the same community was bought by my great-great-grandfather in the 1850s.
There is a lot of interesting family history here which I would like to see recorded and saved. This is my main motivation for adding to WikiTree. In the process, however, I have been fascinated to discover how my ancestors, even from this small section of Meadors and Crosbys, have spread out across the South, to Texas and beyond.
We now live in Independence, MO, and have also lived in the Fort Worth, Texas area and seldom get to visit back home, but this is a great way to make a visit virtually.

I sent this message to Justin who sent me a private message. Do you have any answers to my questions?
I am very new at this and find the WikiTree fascinating but so far very frustrating. I have created several profiles so far and find it very laborious. I have thousands of persons on Ancestry and pretty robust documentation there. The problem is how to transfer that information. It seems it all has to be done manually and every fact needs a source to back it up. I have these but again to manually enter each fact and source will take me months to do just my basic tree in Wiki. Surely there must be ways to make this process faster and easier? I do have Jonas and Thomas Meador in my ancestry tree but they are quite a way back. My family of Meadors migrated from Virginia, through North Carolina and then to South Carolina. Several of my immediate past ancestors or from the same adjacent counties in that state. This part of the Meador family does not seem to be included yet in WikiTree.
Do you have any tips to help me get started imputing profiles on my family tree and especially importing sources backing up the data? The help videos and 'How-tos" talk a lot about how to find sources but not how to efficiently get them placed in a profile except manually. Thanks so much for your message. I do appreciate the cooperative emphasis in WikiTree. If I can get squared away on some of this basic stuff, I would like to be an active participant. By the way, I could not see how to actually find your message in Wiki so I hope you don't mind me just emailing you. Morris Meador
