Hello, I'm participating in a "challenge" to improve reference tags in profiles. This profile is on a list of profiles that need improvement. I see you have found a tidy way to do your references so I don't want to touch it. The correct way however would be to insert your source information directly within these signs <ref>insert source information here</ref> .
Such as:
Michael was born about 1784. He passed away before 1841. He was recorded as deceased on the shipping records of his son James. <ref>Australia, New South Wales, Index to Bounty Immigrants, 1828-1842, database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DW53-3QJ?cc=1542665&wc=MLTL-KM6%3A101306801%2C100199702 : 20 May 2014), Shanahan,James ; Western Sydney Records Centre, Kingswood.</ref>
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Based on your tag comments, the German Roots Project fits your research focus. Review the project page to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week so I am checking in to see how it is going.
Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.
I see that your GEDCOM loaded OK. Do you have questions about the GEDCOMpare process?

Start with the New Member How-To Pages - they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around:
Let me know if you require assistance. I am happy to help. After adding my own family and ancestors I have found many cousins and distant ancestors here on WikiTree.
