Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

I just had to look this up that we are cousins. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Relationship&action=calculate&person1Name=McReynolds-216&person2Name=McKinney-7460
Thanks for the info Cousin, that's even one of my "Confident" family lines, very few go back that far for me.
Enjoy,
Peggy
Thank you for contributing to the January 2022 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!
It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum ‘’’before’’’ creating the profile.

Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
David
Thanks for all your work on WikiTree. I noticed that you have begun adding profiles for the pre-1700 ancestors you have found in your search. Congratulations on finding records back that far!
Since you are now back in the time period where many people can be descended from those ancestors, we need more details in your source area. As collaborative genealogists, we need to tell each other our sources so that we can work together to assess the relative reliability of the source and the evidence it contains.
The current Ancestry links that you are using aren't very useful for other researchers. There is a WikiTree Sourcerer app that can make citing Ancestry records easier. One of the options on the dropdown menu is to create citations that have stable links to the records, as well as the database information to help other members find the record in the future. The video on that space page I linked explains the app well.
I hope this helps,
Debi

PS - I use my WikiTree Family List (yours is under your McKinney-7460 tab) and Ancestor Explorer to help me keep track of the profiles of my early ancestors here in WikiTree.
Please be sure to review the guidelines for Pre-1700 profiles. Note, in particular, checking for an existing profile before you create a new one and the information on sources. You can find more information in the Sources FAQ and project lists for reliable sources, such as United States Reliable Sources.
As noted in the Sources FAQ, just "ancestry.com" by itself is not a sufficient source on any profile.

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
