PS Let me know if you have any questions about the GEDCOMpare process. There is a tool that can help with cleaning up GEDCOM created biographies. It lets you concentrate on the genealogy rather than the formatting. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches, once that has been done, you add any remaining names manually.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

Thank you for this. Yes, I was going through the GEDCOMpare process, but I got stuck when I found that my great grandfather was listed as someone else's distant relative and I'm trying to go through the process of getting permission to add him to my family tree. It can be frustrating, but I understand that it's important to slow things down and make sure that duplicates are created and that connections are accurate.
Thanks again. I'll keep working on other parts of my tree in the meantime and work on getting the pre-1700 certification. I'm working through the styles and naming conventions now.
I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
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 as much as I do.
Happy tree climbing
