Genealogically Yours

I have expressed my interest in genealogy in the past in different places.  Most of my work appears on Wikitree.  This is a free service that allows you to assemble a family tree that may, eventually, connect to the work of others.

Courtesy of Wikitree, I receive a nearly weekly email suggesting connections to notable people.  I have started a stand-alone page where I can collect those connections.  The new page is now on the sidebar.

Thus far, I only have two people listed out of hundreds of emails that I have received over the years.  Most of those relationships travel through marriages so we aren't genetically related.  But in a few cases, we do share a common ancestor.

I also should offer the caveat that Wikitree is based on the submissions of individual users.  Some users are a bit more rigorous than others.  A grain...or ten...of salt is well advised.
