Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Be sure to look for Duplicates before adding a profile, and always include Sources for your information.

The Help Index covers topics you may have questions about.

Hi Steven.

I noticed you have a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step instruction of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful.

The Help Pages give lots of information about the process starting with: 'Before you import a GEDCOM'

Find instructions here for reviewing your GEDCompare Report if you want to import it into WikiTree.

Thanks, Bill

Steven how have you been storing the information you have about your family?

The mainstream genealogy programs can create a GEDCOM for you to upload and you can download from online tree websites. I am sure that someone will be able to help if you let us know what you have been doing.

I am hoping to learn more about my heritage and share what I have. If I could figure out how one creates a GEDCOM -- lots of info on how to load, just not how to created one and format one uses.

I have be able to trace both a paternal line and maternal line back to early colonial days, mainly thanks to the work of others. But as my closer ancestors in the later 1800's left Connecticut and PA ( great-GF and a grandfather) there is a lack of much information (and photos) about their families that I expect I can find by reaching out and sharing my infomation
