Hi Gwen

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 find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. 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.

Have fun!

PS One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

PPS For your convenience, here is a link to the New Member Guide published after you joined

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)

Hi Gwendolyn,

I have been a member of WikiTree for over ten months, and have great confidence that it will always be free. I base that confidence on the level of member involvement. For example, myself and all the people who greet and confirm members are volunteers, working for only the satisfaction of seeing WikiTree grow, and our connections or potential connections within the one tree also grow.

The 'home team' is very small for such a large number of members, because members run nearly everything - the G2g forum, the help pages, the many projects (look under 'Find' and projects).

Also I have found that a gedcom of my ancestors within WikiTree, downloaded to Family Tree Maker on my computer, will make a lovely family tree, so the new branches I connect to here are easily transferred.

Hi Gwendolyn,

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile for every person.

A couple suggestions to get you started:

1. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

2. Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.

If you would like to contribute, click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile to let our greeters know. You should include a little bit about how you plan to contribute to the tree.

Thank you for visiting WikiTree and I hope you enjoy exploring our friendly community.
