Adding Family

Adding Family Members

Adding family members is done step-by-step. That is, you add a parent, sibling, spouse, or child from your profile. Then you can add a parent, sibling, spouse, or child from their profile. And so on.

For example, to add your paternal grandfather, start by adding your father.

First click the "Profile" or "Tree" link under "My WikiTree" at the top of any page.
Then click the "[father?]" link from your profile or tree page. This brings you to a form for creating your father.
After creating your father's profile, create your grandfather's profile by clicking the "[father?]" link on your father's profile.

To add a family member to someone other than yourself, start at your Watchlist. This brings you to a list of all the profiles you have already created.

For trickier relationships, see the help pages on adoptions and step-parents and multiple marriages. For living people you want to invite to use WikiTree, see invitations.

Adding Living Family Members

If a family member is living and has an e-mail address, include their e-mail address when you create their profile.

If you've already created their profile, add an e-mail address by clicking an "edit" link from their profile.

This will invite them to take possession of their profile and manage it. They will have a Family Member account on WikiTree.
