WikiTree ID

A WikiTree ID is a unique identifier for a profile.

IDs for Profiles of People

The ID for a Person Profile combines the person's Last Name at Birth (maiden name) with a number assigned in the order that names are added to WikiTree. The first Smith becomes Smith-1, the second Smith is Smith-2, etc.

Since the WikiTree ID is unique you can easily link to someone's page when you know their ID. Their page will be at a URL such as this: http://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Franklin-1

Of course, you'd substitute "Franklin-1" in the URL above with the person's WikiTree ID.

IDs for Profiles of Places and Things

The ID for a Free Profile Space — for the significant places, pets, events, homes, and other things in your history — is simply the prefix "Space:" and the name you've given the page.

For example: Space:Fitchburg High School.
