Hi, everyone! I'm taking the course Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist and I just found out about Genealogy Wise today. I recently started a blog at https://smartcanyongen.wordpress.com/. I would like to become a professional genealogist and I spend a lot of time learning about every genealogy related. I started tracing my family tree when I was 15 years old and have continued on and off for many decades now. I have a lot of family support for which I am grateful. My weaknesses right now are having enough patience to write a decent research report and not to lost focus on the project at hand. The families I am researching are from the midwest and the south. Some surnames in my line are Popplewell, Satterfield, Turpin, Martin, Ames, Witham, Blass, Ohl, Ooton/Wooton, and Hochstetler.

My name is Nelda Rodgers and I started researching my genealogy based on a descendant chart my great grandfather sent his Bible in order to prove he was an heir of Jacob Baker in Pennsylvania. I learned this was part of a Baker Family Hoax. The second reason I started looking was because my grandfather and his famiy thought my great great grandfather abandoned after his first wife died.
The surnames I am researching on my dad's side: Baker, Childers, Duncan, Pearson, Rodgers/Rogers, Smith. On my mother's side: Gann, Griffith, Patterson, Steen, Wood.

Hi! I am researching the Espy, Sanders/Saunders, Crecelius, Wisdom and Branham families that were in southern Indiana and Kentucky around the Louisville area. I am also trying to find information on the Ashcraft, Hatfield, Brinegar, Helton and Henderson families which were mainly in Greene, Monroe and Lawrence counties in Indiana. I have been researching since the early 1990s and started taking classes about a year and a half ago.

I've been involved in family history for at least 2 years. Have used social media and Ancestry to connect to many family members, exchanging family history information.
My current genealogy research focus is McMurran/McMurrin family, specifically my ancestor, Henry McMurran who emigrated from Antrim, Ireland with their wife, Mary and raised a family in Minnehaha, South Dakota in the early 1880's. This is part of my maternal family lineage and so far, has been a hard nut for me to crack/discover new records, make new family connections to find out more about their lives, why they decided to emigrate and settle in South Dakota.

I am enrolled at NIGS taking courses in the American Records Certificate. I had to take a year of because of health reasons I had stroke and it has taken me this long to be able to use my first fingers to type. Genealogy has been my life for 40 years. I am adopted and didn't research my birth parents until my mother told me to look. That it wouldn't upset her. I submitted my DNA ad was able t find out a lot about my biological family. Right now trying to find more info on my husbands family surnames - Weber, Lloyd, Brown and Alexander. The Brown/Alexander families are from Monticello, Wayne County , KY. Mothers family, the Yocum's, King's, and Cardwell's, are from Tennessee then Indiana.

Welcome ! Did your husband test DNA ? My 2nd great-grandfather was Henry John Lloyd, B: MAY 1849, Virginia, D: 1929, Hopkinsville, Kentucky. I have tested on Ancestry. His beginnings are a brick wall.
