Hi Charlene

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To get the best results, continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!

Hey Charlene,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards.

If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles.

If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.

If you were drawn here by the Global Family Reunion check out our [http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Global_Family_Reunion Global Family Reunion.

Questions? Ask via my profile page. Mags

Thanks for joining us, Charlene. If you have questions about getting started, our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with any specific problems.

I have recently become interested in researching my family tree. I am happy to become a volunteer and help in any way that I can.

Hello Charlene your best would probably to post the information at the G2g forum. Its the most likely to get noticed you can find it here http://www.wikitree.com/g2g

I would put it in the genealogy Category

I'm searching for my biological father, Charles William Buckley, Jr. I believe he was born in Bridgeport, CT. He was married Irene Belinski in March 1947 and left her in December 1947. They were divorced in 1955. He was in the Navy and living wth my mom in Portsmouth VA in 1947. That's all the information I know for certain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Geetings from WikiTree, Charles! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree.
