Although I can find my ancestors and relatives in the many family tree sites, I know little about any one of them- and that seems the interesting part of this exploring. I have a few documents left by relatives, and some anecdotes, some birth places and dates. I do like to use google maps to see the houses ancestors lived in.

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for your contributions to our tree.

I see that you have been adding pre-1700 profiles tonight using Family Search trees as your source. This is not considered an adequate source for pre-1700 profiles. Would you please review the England Project Research Resources to see the type of sources required for pre-1700 profiles.

Thank you!

Dave

Hi Gordon,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand 

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

To contact me, use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure I will be notified.

Hi, Gordon

I love your enthusiasm. You don't need to merge your relatives if you find them on WikiTree; it is a one-world tree. WikiTree is a collaborative site, so we all work together. If you find a relative, they are there and you can verify the info you have with the data in the profile. Be careful here - read about communicating before changing anything, and be sure you review the source formats and guidelines for entering the biography.

There is a learning curve for the wiki mark-up and different levels of privacy. You can always leave questions or comments about a profile on that page.

If you want to upload a gedcom for GedCompare, this page will list your gedcom family members and give you a match if they already have WikiTree profiles. Review the report carefully, which will save a lot of time and frustration.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions; I can help. The links in this message go to the topic information pages. Right-click on them to open in a new tab. I hope this helps.

Enjoy your journey! Sheryl

Hi, Gordon

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.

You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.

Thanks, I will spend a few hours right now exploring how this site works. I have at least 300 family names with dates & I am hoping I can quickly merge with already entered people to save entering it here again.
