As an amateur genealogist, this article resonated:
In Defense of Amateurs

My mother and uncle (her brother) started researching our family history, and since her passing, I have picked up the mantle, and am pursuing it! My goal is to leave something here on WikiTree, built on facts and good sources, that my grandchildren can rely on and enjoy!

Bartley McRorie is a member of the Maupin Name Study Project.

Bartley McRorie is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

Current Projects

Maupin Project:

I am a descendant of two different Maupin 3g grandfathers, which spurred my interest in their line. So, I am coordinating the Maupin Name Study, click here to check it out!

Rhoda Maupin's Photo Album

A significant addition to that project is: 3G Grandma Rhoda (Holt) Maupin's Photo Album. I am honored to have inherited this late nineteenth century photo album and am working to identify as many of the photos as possible, and to integrate the contents into our genealogical understanding of her family and times. It may be found as part of the Maupin Name Study under the heading: Maupin Treasures.

A somewhat whimsical side project is to keep track of the number of Maupin cousins who married. It was surprisingly common! As cousin marriages are discovered, they are logged on this page: Maupin Cousins Who Married.

US Black Heritage Project:

Bartley created over 25 new profiles in the previous month's US Black Heritage Project Connecting Challenge.

Bartley McRorie is a graduate of the US Black Heritage Project's PATH.

I have noticed that some of my distant DNA cousins are Black! I would love to find out how we are related! But, African-American genealogy can be especially challenging for many reasons. So, I am helping the US Black Heritage project add profiles of black Americans into WikiTree. Many of those I work on are members of my wife's family.

As a sub-project of the Black Heritage Project, I am working to complete the addition of all 100 Voices from Digital Harrisburg to WikiTree!

United States Naval Academy Class of 1952

My father graduated from the Naval Academy Class of 1952, and I have started doing the genealogy for other members of his class. What an amazing group of guys!

Digital Afterlife

In the event of my disability or demise, it is my desire that my work not be wasted!
Thus I direct that any non-public profiles that I manage be:

1. Opened, if the subject is deceased, and within WikiTree guidelines/policies, or
2. Transferred to anyone willing to take responsibility for them, with priority given to trusted list members and family members, however distant, of the profile in question.
