As of December 2022, we have a combined membership of 25,000 distant cousins and 45 admins and moderators to keep an eye on things.
It's all about collaboration between distant cousins who are solving walls

The real power of our private genealogy, Facebook Groups and GEDmatch custom Ancestor Projects is the large community of experienced genealogists willing to share their family tree's, kit number, knowledge, experience, tips, and encouragement with members\ distant cousins, who are just getting started.

NEWBIES are welcome in all of our private Genealogy FB Groups
Colonial Settlement
In the early 1600s, in rapid succession, the English began a colony (Jamestown) in Chesapeake Bay in 1607, the French built Quebec in 1608, and the Dutch began their interest in the region that became present-day New York. Within another generation, the Plymouth Company (1620), the Massachusetts Bay Company (1629), the Company of New France (1627), and the Dutch West India Company (1621) began to send thousands of colonists, including families, to North America. Successful colonization was not inevitable. Rather, interest in North America was a halting, yet global, contest among European powers to exploit these lands.
