Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
My family tree is private but I want to collaborate on deep ancestors or historical figures.
If you click your green tags it will show you member's who are also following that tag, you can have 20. Add green tags for family and other surnames. You can also add tags for locations or interests - explore the project link for these. Tags link you to the community sourcing & research options, to add more tags (you can have 20) go to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following - You can find more information about tags here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tags
Thanks for upgrading, you are all set to be able to add and edit profiles now. I hope you discover as much about your family as I have about mine over the last several years.
Check out the Member How-to pages for some quick tips on working with both the Wiki pages and our other members. There is some great information in those pages.
If you have questions about how WikiTree works, let me know. You can use the "reply" link under this comment or click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
This is just a note to say hello and to let you know that I am available to answer questions about WikiTree.
