I have seen you name on “DNA Connections” for several ancestors I’m researching. So, I checked GEDmatch and yes indeed we match DNA. We match on 52 segments, however, none are very long. The longest is 8.9 cMs.
I worked with a Dan Gilbert who was in Business Development at BAE Systems in Austin, TX. Odds are that isn’t you but I wanted to check.
Are you on Ancestry.com? I want to use their DNA matching capabilities to determine how we are related.

Yes Chris has helped me early on, not long after I joined Wikitree. I might have to look at NO or other ports of entry. The one thing I am sure of is that my G-Grandfather came from PA and that his parents lived there. How they got there is the challenge LOL. Thank you for the help I will look in the less traveled ports to see if I can find anything.
Thanks for having a Big Heart and adopting Orphan Profiles. You will want to read this After adopting orphans FAQ to understand what to do next and it explains the special attention those profiles need.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

There are a couple more sources at that same place. One is Jan Joseph Gilbert. He registered property there. And a couple of births beside the one above.
Just in case you aren’t registered it cost nothing. They are more or less building your tree also.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

There's a utility called GEDCOMPARE which allows you to do this. You would create a GEDCOM file (of less than 5000 profiles) on your other system - then load it here. It doesn't get loaded into our database directly as you have to work through a matching process which aims to prevent duplicate profiles in the WikiTree database.
Here's the help page on GEDCOMPARE. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:GEDCOMpare
