The Scotland Project is hard at work improving profiles for our Scottish ancestors and we would love you to join us! The Project covers all things Scottish, so no matter what your interests are, there's a team waiting for you!
Membership is open to all who have:
- signed WikiTree’s Honor Code
- been a WikiTree member for at least 3 months, and
- made at least 100 contributions to our shared tree
You'll begin with a journey down our Tartan Trail (you can learn more about it here) where you'll not only improve and/or learn new skills researching your Scottish ancestors, but will also meet new people and learn to work within an active, collaborative WikiTree community. Once you've completed the Tartan Trail, you'll be invited to join other teams within the project that interest you.
A major membership benefit is the Scotland project's Discord server which provides real-time access to some of the most experienced Scottish researchers who can help with your questions.
After completion of the Tartan Trail Level 2, you will be awarded your Scotland Project Badge. You will then be asked to join a team, work with your Team Leader(s) and respond to our annual Project Check-ins. We recognise that people lead busy lives and are grateful for any and all contributions made towards the project's goals.
PLEASE NOTE: if you are just looking for help with specific ancestors in Scotland, and don't wish to take the Tartan Trail and become active in the Scotland Project, then create a new message in G2G tagged SCOTLAND and one of our friendly Scotland Project team members will try to assist you :)
