I see that you are interested in DNA study and haven taken a test. Would you be interested in starting a One Name Study for your surname? The purpose of the One Name Study is to coordinate any WikiTreers who are researching one particular surname and to provide a resource for collaboration

For instructions on how to get started and suggestions for getting the most out of your study, see: One Name Study

For more information, contact Doug or Alison with any questions.

Welcome to the DNA Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA

Please make sure each bit of DNA test information is added to the actual test participant's profile, not someone else's like your own. To make cousin connections, WikiTree needs to see the FamilyTree tab. Check that your Privacy on your profile is set to "Private with Public Family Tree" as a minimum. (Living minors should have an Unlisted privacy level.)

Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA and other terms on the (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

As you add your family lines and connect to the big WikiTree, you may find new cousins. Use the Relationship calculator to see if you are related to me, Cooper-1 with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship

Hi!

I'm sorry to bombard you with all these messages....I hope you find them helpful.

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.

Thanks,

Fred

Hi!

I notice you have, or plan to upload a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots 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'.

Hi Kristin,

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one Profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need help getting started, check out the Help section from the Menu, top right.

Head over to the G2G forum. and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

If you are experiencing a specific problem, you can reach out to our Mentor Team They are a very friendly group of people

Welcome, and Good Luck!

Fred

We were all novices at some point. Where do your interests lie?

What do you know already? There is a great Genealogy 101 references list here: http://www.cyndislist.com/beginners/ . WikiTree is a collaborative site for people of all experience levels.

I am a genealogical novice. All of my information comes from the hard work of my grandmother Lorraine, my aunt Maurine, and others in the family. I am volunteering for WikiTree because I believe that all humans we are all connected.

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile for every person.

A couple suggestions to get you started:

1. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.

2. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

3. Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.

If you would like to contribute by adding information, click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile to let our greeters know. You should include a little bit about how you plan to contribute to the tree.

Good luck growing your branches ~Michele~
