Genealogical Interests
Communication Preferences:I am interested in communicating withcousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
Here ismy family tree.
I love the puzzle aspect of genealogy, and finding the sources that tell the story of our ancestors.
My family lines come fromSweden,Germany,France, and theNetherlands -- and a few other spots.
My ancestors arrived inPhiladelphia and worked their way down toNorth Carolina, then west toIndiana,Illinois,Iowa, andNebraska.
There's a project on WikiTree for everyone. You'll find people who can help you navigate and find sources relevant to your family. Check out ourProjects page to find what you need.

I am not related to the Simmons family. I'm one of the WikiTree Admins, and I help other members who are working on finding profiles that need dates. Sometimes we run across profiles like those for the Simmons who don't have dates but appear to be for living people, and I help to get those set to an Unlisted privacy setting to protect the privacy of the people represented by those profiles. More info here:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Living_People
Thanks for putting the merges through! I've set the privacy level on those two profiles to Unlisted for you.
Happy WikiTreeing! :-)

It's time for a One Name Studies Project check-in!
Could you please advise me which One Name Studies you're still actively coordinating, i.e. maintaining the main study page and associated research pages, and replying to queries/comments from members.
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you!
If I don’t receive your response within the next three weeks, I’ll assume that your interests have changed or you are no longer able to coordinate any One Name Studies, and you'll be removed from the project.
Regards
Jacqueline Baxter,ONS Project Co-Leader
I have management of two name studies:
- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Fulk_Name_Study
- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Uhlin_Name_Study
Nothing much is happening with them at the moment, but I'm happy to hang on to them until/unless someone else would like to take them.
Thanks for the check-in!
