Steven Sherrick

Hi Steven,

Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.

If the profile needs GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

You might be interested in some of the tips and tricks that we have included in the How-Tos that we share with new members these days. They were created long after you became a member so you never received them.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, let me know by using the "reply" link for this comment or by clicking my name to visit my profile. From there you can leave a comment or send a private message.

Hi Steven, my dad has taken his Y-dna test he has so far been tested up to 37 markers. We are waiting on the y-dna 111 markers now. He is R-m269 and matches to tons of Irish people. The Y-dna 111 should be ready in Jan. I would like to link your and my dads dna up but don't know how.

Hi Steve

Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified. It's time to pick a project that fits the pre-1700 profiles you'll be working on.

Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Do you have some historically significant ancestors? Explore the list of /Help:Projects active projects to see if one fits your needs.

Once you find a project that interests you, visit the project page for more information and to find out how to join. You can also use the x.php?title=Special:Following Following link to add the project tag to your profile, and you'll be kept up to date on any activity.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions

Thank you Steven for this wonderful picture of Charlie. I am going to try to save it to my tree.

Hi ,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

In 1940 my mother, Viola Margaret (Wendland) Sherrick, typed up and mimeographed family rosters for both the Sherrick and Wendland families. She made note of feedback from the families, as well as later additions.

I also have, from her, the NEHGR volumes covering "Hugh Mahurin of Tauton, Mass." by Francis H. Huron, a photocopy of "A Brief Geneology of the Whipple Family Compiled for Oliver Mayhew Whipple, Esq. of Lowell 1857", and "Edward Fitz Randolph Branch Lines, Allied Families and English and Norman Ancestry, A family Genealogy 860 - 1976, Assembled by Oris H. F. Randolph, 1976." I also have unattributed photocopies of work done on the William Barstow (c1612 - c1669) family. Any help on this line would be appreciated.

It is my hope to fill in some of the empty places in my family tree and hopefully fill in other's trees. I have access to several lines that are well researched, some that are family memories, and some that are perhaps less than solid. I will identify my sources as I go. If you can correct my information, please do.

Hello Steven,
