Family Tree (E) Tree

Hi E.

Not sure if you got the help you needed with duplicates. Perhaps it's because you're creating profiles with last names in all caps (another no-no) that you're not seeing the profiles have already been created? Let me know if I can help.

Looks like you might be unintentionally creating duplicates, then rejecting them as duplicates. See Betz-407. Do you need help?

Hi Producervan,

Just a quick PS

Don't forget to Head over to the G2G forum. and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House or ask a question in any of the other categories. There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: for that "special" ancestor who is eluding you.

if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

Best Wishes, and have fun adding your leaves and branches!

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community! Please remember that we are trying to build one Collaborative Global Family Tree which means only one profile per person. It is important to ensure that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced.

To help you get started, check out an introductory WikiTree video that a member created. For member benefits, see our Community Members page.

We also have a Mentor Team who will be glad to answer questions and help you with any specific problems.

Welcome and Enjoy!

Fred

I'm new to this board. Genealogy has been a lifelong passion and I hope to share this information with others!

In order to volunteer, there is a volunteer box to check and you will want to post a message stating that you want to volunteer and add your family tree research.

It would also be helpful if you could use a different first name :) This obvious alias makes people a little nervous.

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to great instructions on adding a GEDCOM to WikiTree that you might find helpful.

If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.

Just wanted to mention that you may want to create a profile in your own surname, since this enables your profile to find its rightful place in our family tree. Our naming conventions can be found at Name Fields.

I see you have uploaded your DNA for comparison.

Did you know we have a project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening? If you are interested and would like to check it out, go to the FIND link top right of your profile page, select PROJECTS from the drop down box, and then select the link for the DNA project. It has information listed that might be of interest to you, and feel free to contact any of the members if you would like additional details.
