Thanks self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Canada Project and or the United States would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Thanks for checking in.
Yes, I have gone to the "How-To" page a couple of times, and I'm doing pretty well figuring thing out so far.
I am spending much more time here than I had expected.
I have been very pleased with the good use of documentation supporting most of the entries I have been looking at. This encourages me to do my best to enter the best documentation I can find when I add people. In fact, I am often finding myself searching out even more sources than I have, before adding anything to WikiTree, just so I can feel that I have measured up to the standards set here.
TAke care,
Brad
Glad you are getting on ok. You do tend to find the time goes very quickly on here, you can think you have done 10-15 minutes and then find you have been on for an hour or more.
We do like each fact to have a viable source, and you can find more than you think
Keep yourself safe and take care Karen
One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that I found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

I would suggest starting with the How-to pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site
Happy tree climbing

I have just found your site and hope that it will be another source of information for me in my family tree search. My main tree is on Ancestry. I have a more basic tree on ftdna, so that someone there can find me. At this point, I am seeing wikitree in the same way. Wikitree is a little different than ftdna, so I may be a bit more active here than with ftdna.
There is one thing that you may be able to help me with, while I am still trying to set up my account/profile/etc.
Although my last name is Blevins, I am not biologically related to the Blevins family. My biological "Y" name is Holsclaw or Holtzclaw.
This being so, the "Blevins DNA" family "link" that has been placed on my new dna page (and elsewhere?) is not useful to me.
Can you tell me how I would be able to remove and replace the Blevins link to a Holtzclaw link? Is it possible to create several links of this kind, for different family lines?
Thanks again,
Brad Blevins
