Genealogical Interests
Communication Preferences:I am interested in communicating withcousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
Here ismy family tree.
My research focuses mostly on the following North Carolina counties: Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln, Transylvania, and Macon, though obviously there are many other areas where my families have spread.

Biography
"All Hobbits [WikiTreers] were, in any case, clannish and reckoned up their relationships with great care. They drew long and elaborate family-trees with innumerable branches. In dealing with Hobbits it is important to remember who is related to whom, and in what degree. It would be impossible in this book to set out a family-tree that included even the more important members of the more important families at the time which these tales tell of. [EuroAristo?] The genealogical trees at the end of the Red Book of Westmarch are a small book in themselves, and all but Hobbits would find them exceedingly dull. Hobbits delighted in such things, if they were accurate: The liked to have books filled with things they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions."Tolkien, J.R.R.,The Lord of the Rings (New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1994) p. 7.
Using my ggg-grandparents' surnames (per the paper trail), I'm about 62% Scottish, 20% English, 6% German, 6% Welsh, 3% Cornish, and 3% French. Most of my Scottish ancestry passed through Ulster before arriving in America and settling in the Blessed Realm. Scotland's influence was and is present in my life. Three of The Seven Sisters (Presbyterian churches in my home county) were founded by some of my Ulster-Scot ancestors.

Closest presidential cousin
Benjamin Harrison is my closest (confirmed) presidential cousin. He is my fifth cousin, five time removed. We are both descended fromSophia Gault Irvine.
Richard Nixon is a cousin - yes, THE Richard Nixon, and he is my 7th cousins). We are descended from the same Quaker ancestor here in the States,Hugh Harry.
England Project's Orphan Trail
- In 2019, I completed theEngland Project's Orphan Trail! MentorsRos and Lizzie got me through (talk about patience!), and I learned so much from them, not only about English sources, but about making a profile what it should be: well sourced with a good, narrative bio and inline citations.
Scotland Project's Tartan Trail
- I completed Level Two and Three of the Tartan Trail under the guidance ofJackie in March of 2021. Jackie was a super guide: very knowledgeable andVERY patient! I learned so much under her guidance. My hat is off to her! I would recommend anyone with Scottish Roots to join the project and walk the Tartan Trail!

THANK you for introducting me, at least me, to the glories of dafodils (spelling ignored) and a sight hitherto not known in person ... (still not known in person, but we don't live on a mountain side amid a zillion plants we are allergic to ...) (we live in a valley amid a zillion plants we are allergic to, instead)
Congrats to your mentee, some funding for schooling is always welcome ... and given some of your comments heretofore, you're going to have a very exercised next six years involved in his college adventures ... you will Sheppard him through to his graduation ...
Mentee (real name: Nicholas) is doing well despite the home situation. He'll take a couple of classes this summer to keep up the pace along with the 34 hours a week he works. I truly want to see him flourish.
"Hi" to Mr. Cxxx the Cook!
Pip
I'm amazed truly amazed you are able to man your volunteer posts while recovering from a sinus operation ... which my imagination tells me was gruesome ... eeww ... hopefully you'll be able to capture more sleep and reap the rewards of being less fatigued because of the operation ...
Anyway, I suppose you could get some hardy gardener to come and plant something like 50 tulip bulbs where next spring your Beloved can see them blossom ... wouldn't that be a sight to see !! Of course they need to return and "replant" or so I found out ref to bulb flowers .... lots of work every time ... we used to have the most lovely iris bulbs blooming ...

- On the other hand, if some smart geezer says to you - in an effort to hurry you - "Chop, chop" you can reply truthfully that you have chopped, thank you, and would rather not "chop, chop" again or any more. Ever. 🤪
- I feel sorry for you for your travail (surgical) - repeated travail. 😭 Seems you have had nothing but chronic pain for the last 2+ years
- You are aware, I suppose, that some sedatives administered prior to surgery or handed out as pain pills later may have am effect on your cognitive function and you may have in consequence 'short term memory' difficulties. Some of them scramble cognitive function. BE SURE TO ASK if what they intend to give you first to last is anything like that ...
May the Lord above grace you with fortitude and strength in recovery
Thank you for participating in the January 2025 Connect-a-Thon (Connect-a-Thon XIII) with the Southern Super Sweepers! We ended the Thon with 3714 profiles created! We couldn't have done it without you.
Hope to see you in April for the next Connect-a-Thon!

Thank you for your commitment to the England Project and its goals in 2024! Together, we have made a significant difference to the quality of the One Big Tree, as we strive towards making English profiles the best that they can be.
I'd like to share our end-of-year 2024 Newsletter. You can read it here:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_NewslettersWe hope you enjoy reading about our many project achievements and ongoing developments.
On behalf of all the England Project Leaders, I wish you all the best for a peaceful, productive and enjoyable 2025!
Joan, England Project Leader
May you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Kind regards,

if in SC watch out for amok monkeys (20-some of the 40-some had been so far captured yesterday) and the 2 emu ... IMO the monkeys are more likely to attack ...
I would never have thought that having a canoe or rowboat or pontoon in NC or SC as a thing to have .... you could store one for a decade and never have use for it and then sell it at a yard sale and then get slammed the coming winter by wind and water and where is the dratted water craft NOW when you NEEd it ??
You might want to schedule some blocs of time wherein you at least rest if not doze or even sleep?
I have a ton of information for my family tree but I'm not sure how to merge certain profiles and still continue.
Kind regards,
Pip
I actually live in what they call the Midlands of South Carolina. We live in Chapin which is about 30minutes from the state capital of Columbia, South Carolina. We are lucky to only get the rain and wind from these storms, thank goodness. Thank you for asking.

Howsomever, is y'all are high and dry, I celebrate that
I am lmpressed by the roster (incomplete, no doubt) of mechanical failures - and a few slaps from Nature such as hurricanes, blizzards, floods ...
You do not lead a "dull and boring" life. You DO lead an expensive one brought on by those mechanical bums.
It's a life a gambler might relish, plunk down your cash and spin the wheel and ... oops, the wheel breaks loose and careers across the room, knee-capping a few on its wild course ... It's the sort of life that if you operated an off-track betting parlor, the computer systems across half the state you live in would fritz in a periodic spasm of "surge" ... but you'd never suffer more than a moment's boredom before Mama Luck slapped you silly.
(You can see that if I lack facts, I can always supply malarky from my imagination. )
I can read about your trials and tribulations and "feel better" about the shambles I sometimes have to wade through.🤪

I have to suppose as long as you refrain from hurling cabers, your shoulders should do well ... seen some film clips of that and it is an impressive feat, success or no success ... but successful or not the effort exended in practice and in performance is rough on the whole body ...
Not sure why you are being phoned at 7 AM each AM when your daughter hies off to her destination, but in the events you do at least have a cheerful start to your day, both of you
Adios, adieu, and other such blessings
In short, anywhere in the world a contingent of Scots settled, there you would find, eventually, a rasher of games and contests favored by the Scots.

On my home page I see some of the most direct person, I have added, mostly copying from my ancestry tree I have done DNA on Ancestry and 23 and me Found a lot of my bio family five years ago, I was adopted So like you home page, so as I add, I create new profiles, as they do not seem to match, will only records come up, I see on cousins match I have a lot of Churchills that is on my mothers side So how do I bring all the work they have done into mt tree?
As you keep adding your family, you are eventually going to find a match with an ancestor or cousin who is already on WikiTree. Once you make that connection, all those lines beyond that ancestor will also be in yours. Others on WikiTree will have done the work for you. All you have to do is to make a connection.
Best of luck in your research,
Pip

What an incredible job the greeters did this morning during the WikiTree Workshop the Ontario Ancestors Conference I did this morning!
The over 50 attendees were seamlesly, able to "Get Started" on WikiTree as the greeters were amazingly diligent at approving them.
An amazing bit of collaboration, there Pip!
Thank you for setting that all up for us. Great, just great!

SUSAN: your comment "just taller" reminds me of HS chum Vic who was born with one shoulder higher than the other ... Did not interfere with his becoming Special Forces (?) multi-tasking mentor, instructor, etc to cadre of natives in Viet Nam ... he came away from Viet Nam due to having to call in an airstrike on his own position - he was choppered out and repaired and recovered and went back in again 2nd time and 2nd time had to once again call in an airstrike on his own position ...
Vic came out of his 2 tours some 3 to 4 inches taller and the wonky shoulder gone, looked like the other shoulder ...
It was a long time before the hair on my neck stood down from hearing his Tale complete with entrails, bone fragments, lots and lots of gore, and some other even more gross details ...🌟 viva la vida, Vic !! 🌟
the message of the new German member you forwarded me was about a User Interface in German. I wrote her that non-English-natives want an international interface already for a long time, but that there isn't one currently.
Have a nice week

I saw you have completed your y-DNA; maybe you can help me with getting my father into a surname project. My goal for project enrollment is to prove paternity of Dad's g-grandfather who was adopted, though not likely legally adopted. I am pretty sure who I am seeking, though cannot find any records of him prior to 1843 marriage record, and census saying b.1825 in PA. Can I use the y-37 test (least expensive) to complete my goal?
Thanks for your time and consideration.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. You can click the reply button or message me with your answer. Thank you. Pam Kreutzer, leader of the US Civil War Project

Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate this time around. My recent shoulder surgery keeps from from the computer except for short periods of time. Additionally, my daughter is coming this weekend. So sorry I cannot be there for the team. But when I get a chance, I’ll pop in on Discord to cheer the team on!
Best of luck to the Sweepers!

I sent you a message a couple of days ago, have you had a chance to have a look at it?
(Feel free to erase this message after reading it... I didn't find the auto-destroy (MI) tool for after reading, to include here)
Regards,Rui
One of the reasons I wanted to join is because the surname I've been researching for approximately 40years, I'd previously undertaken as a One-Name Study, and indeed had been a member for several years of the UK "Guild of One-Name Studies", and whilst I have much of my research on my own website, in a book I had written, on my regularly updated program, and in 100s (literally) of files in my study, I feel that now is the time for me to share the fruit of my labours!
I'm sure that others have probably taken the same path as myself, inasmuch as when I first began researching my own Family History, there weren't such things as "Personal Computers", let alone anything else "electronic", and I still find it amazing that I had to go to Australia and New Zealand in 1992 in order to research the branches of the family who went there (voluntarily!) in the very early 1800s onwards - whereas nowadays I can "go" into the very vaults of where I went all those years ago, without having to fly, drive or stay anywhere!
Looking forward to being part of WikiTree, and to hopefully providing many new names, connections etc that will help achieve this site's ambitious aim!
Thanks again
(Whoops, almost forgot to say; my own ONS is Powditch)

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.
On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!

Thanks for you message. Sadly, I cannot do as much as I would like within the Scotland Project. On occasion I work on a family I find that needs some improvement, but I am truly tied up with where my ancestors (mostly Ulster-Scots) settled near where I grew up. So, If you would not mind, I will formally drop out from the Scotland Project, though I will continue to do some work there when I need a break from my own closer family members. I really enjoy taking a deep dive in to something different once in a while.
Warm regards,
Pip
That's a shame - we'll miss you! If you feel in need of more of Scotland you can always re-join the project by replying to our Welcome post in G2G which is linked from the main project page athttps://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Scotland.

I have not been working on any of my SCs in the past six months, mainly adding descendants, but I do have one on my to-to list that needs a bit of ordering. So, I hope the project will hang on to me! :-)

I am on the Cornwall Team, have been for a while and that is my focus when I am working on English profiles. I have not done much for a bit. My American research is taking up most of my time. But, on occasion I work in Gulval Parish, home of my ancestors. I have not found a particular focus with the Cornwall Team but to create and/or clean up profiles there, rather individually.
I'll continue with what I am doing and enjoy the ride!
Thanks,
Pip
