It's a great idea to connect everyone into one tree. I'd like to do a little bit towards that.
I know a few generations back in my own tree, and have done some research on 19th century people that lived in one house (and which I'd be interested to connect up).

How are you? I'm Shirley, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.
How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.
If you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info. Do you have Royal Ancestors? Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.
And I'm here to help too, just ask!
