It’s saying I have no cousins or connected profiles. I’ve entered my gedcom and dna info from ancestry.  I’m needing help connecting

The issue, right now, is your tree is rather limited. As Colleen said, you just need to buildout your tree. For example your great-grandmother’s marriage record names her parents and her husband’ parents (the record is at Ancestry):

Name: Beatrice Breymeier
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Birth Date: abt 1899
Marriage Date: 31 Mar 1920
Marriage Place: Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA
Father: Louis Breymeier
Mother: Margaret Green
Spouse: James Toole
Film Number: 002224926
Name: James Toole
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Birth Date: abt 1899
Marriage Date: 31 Mar 1920
Marriage Place: Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA
Father: James Toole
Mother: Mary Mcmanus
Spouse: Beatrice Breymeier
Film Number: 002224926

Source Information

Ancestry.com. Pennsylvania, U.S., Marriages, 1852-1968[database on-line]. Lehi, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2016.

Original data: Marriage RecordsPennsylvania Marriages. Various County Register of Wills Offices, Pennsylvania.

BTW the name O’Toole seems to have been corrupted into Toole.

This would add four names, and brings you closer to being connected.

From this you should be able to find the census records of your great-great grandparent’s family, and you could, in principle, add all their children.

I see that today you are connected.  Congratulations Sabrina!  It looks like overnite, another WikiTreer connected your great-grandmother Getz-552 to her parents and that may have done it.

Hi Sabrina,

Basically, in order to get connected to the one big tree, you need to keep adding profiles for people until you come to someone that you don't need to add because that person already has a profile on WikiTree and that person is connected to the tree. So, before you create a profile for a person, be sure to do a search and check to see whether that person already has a profile on here.
