Hello,

I am a WikiTree DNA Project Volunteer Helper. I wanted to let you know that when you post DNA test information on a WikiTree profile, WikiTree needs to be able to see the profile Family Tree Tab (top of WikiTree Profile) to make DNA connections down the ancestral lines.

I would like to suggest that you consider changing the privacy level on this profile and all of the ancestors to be at a level that allows everyone to see the Family Tree tab. Click the "Privacy" tab and set your level to "Private with public tree" or "Private with public biography and tree". For further information on the available Privacy levels needed to facilitate this, please see: Wikitree privacy controls

Thank you, Meghan

Hello,

Welcome to the Wikitree family. Your "DNA Tested" badge indicates that you have taken a DNA test and that you probably have an interest in using your DNA results to uncover more about your family connections. We want to help you do that and have developed a few simple beginning steps for getting the most from your DNA test results.

1.) On your Wikitree profile enter your DNA test kit information if you have not already done so. To do this. click on the ."Add" tab select "DNA Test Information" and follow the instructions for entering your test(s).

2.) With autosomal tests also enter your optional Gedmatch ID if you have one. In the case of YDNA enter your optional YSearch ID or with mtDNA, your mitosearch ID if you have them. You can also enter Haplogroup information.

3.) Be certain the privacy settings on your Wikitree profile permit the sharing of your DNA and family tree with other potential genetic matches. Click the "Privacy" tab and set your level to " Private. with public tree" or "Private, with public tree and bio". Fot more information on privacy settings see, Wikitree privacy controls

4.) Build and expand your family tree.

There is a help section in Wikitree that will answer most questions you may have regarding DNA and its use on Wikitree. You can also ask specific questions in the G2G forum's. Good luck and happy searching

Hello Nicole

Thanks for joining WikiTree. I'm a WikiTree Mentor available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may have.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me via my profile page.
