What "hidden" WikiTree gems do you like?

Question

I like using http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Postcards to correspond others interested in family history.

I also enjoy how attractive an ancestral tree can be:

http://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Duff-1043/4

Best of all is the ability to share a link with my DNA matches showing eight generations of my current ancestry in a compact format:

http://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Roberts-7085/5

Another outstanding "Easter Egg" few know about is:

http://www.sdms.si:92/function/WTWebAncestors/errors.htm?WikiTreeID=Roberts-7085

What treasures can you share?

For ancestor function you should use http://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm and navigate from there.

When I was looking at my ancestor table i got the idea to add links on wikitree-ID to get it's ancestor table. So now you can navigate down through the table.

I like the Surname list to send to my auDNA matches:  http://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Cooper-1/10. If my match recognizes a surname from their own tree, that is the name to start collaborating on.

Awesome post, Peter. :-)

Aleš, that's fantastic that you enabled the ancestor tables to be called by WikiTree ID in the URL. Now we can link to pages like http://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTWebAncestors/Ancestors.htm?UserID=6035205 from members' Tree & Tools pages. And maybe elsewhere. Maybe from Nav Home Pages? (I'm really feeling like our navigation systems need to be reconsidered. Gems shouldn't be hidden! :-)

Answer 1

I find that Peter Roberts is a hidden WikiTree gem!

My new addiction is all the cool things that can be done over at WikiData and that we can connect WikiTree to Wikidata using the attribute Property:P2949 its about 2000 profiles in WikiData that are connected to WikiTree list, map

Hello Magnus,

I hope to learn more about WikiData and I want to believe it can be used to compare DNA information.  See for example:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Roberts-7123_F13628_Triangulated_Groups

Might is be possible to display a graphic of a shared segment like GEDmatch does?  Or some other way to use Y-DNA or mtDNA matching?

Thanks and regards, Peter

I absolutely LOVE the new Citation button at the top of the profiles right up there where the Bold, Italics etc. buttons are.  Makes in-line referencing so easy - thanks you so very much!!

Cool! I forgot that it was there. Thanks.
