Biography
I started working on my family tree in the 1990's and have never stopped working on it. My ancestors are a mishmash - Mayflower passengers, slaveholders, a dozen or so Filles du Roi, a family who fled from Scotland after a scandal, a free Black man who fought with Francis "The Swamp Fox" Marion, survivors of the Deerfield Massacre, and lots and lots and lots of farmers.
These days, I'm far more interested in other people's branches. Almost all of my time is spent working for WikiTree's US Black Heritage Project. I'm the Project Coordinator for USBH Profile Improvement teams, one of the PCs for the USBH Notables project, and a USBH PATH Guide. Other hats I wear for WikiTree are Rangers, Greeters, Mentors and Data Doctors. Apparently I like hats.
When I'm not puzzling over genealogy, I'm working with my husband to restore our 250-year-old house to its pre-Constitution-era glory. Oh, and, working on the genealogy of the Scots-Irish family who first "owned" the property we now live on.
DNA
- Paternal relationship is confirmed by a GEDmatch test match between Gerri Louise Gallagher and her second cousin Kate Gardner Schmidt. Their MRCA is their 2nd great grandmother Pamela Jane Weathers. Estimated number of generations to MRCA = 3.3, based on sharing 156.9 cM across 4 segments.
Legacy Notice
When I shuffle off this mortal coil, I would like all of the profiles that are of direct ancestors and their descendants to be entrusted to the care of the WikiTree Team and/or my husband Nathan Schmidt, and/or my cousin Ginny Winslett, if she wants any of the Weathers-related profiles. Any non-family profiles with a privacy level of OPEN can be orphaned.
