Morton's Finnish roots

Here's a link to information about John Morton's ancestry from a U.S. source:

And one more link, now from Finland, where a Researchers' seminar on John Morton took place in June 2010:

Hey that's terrific info. I see his tree / ancestry is not built out. Would you care to have a go at it? Colonialswedes.org is certainly a valid source. I will add you to the Signers Project. I have Mortons in my family tree but I think English ones, no connection to the Signer.

Hi Erica! Thanks for the offer. I guess it's an honour for a Finn to be building John Morton's ancestry in Geni. I'll work on it in the near future - probably not within the next few days as I'm travelling.

It's us who are honored to have a Finn helping track down "Signer" Morton's roots.

When you're ready you might find this tool helpful in getting the Project going. It's a pre-formatted template you can copy and paste into the Project overview.

I should be clearer. What I'm suggesting is a separate project for John Morton's family tree. There are probably enough profiles and merges needed already to warrant a separate Project.

Be sure to add me as a collaborator after you create the Project and hopefully others will join up as well.

To add a collaborator, go to my profile, "more actions" menu, Project Options, add to Project.
