Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz. As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within a project is good working collaboratively is essential

Please ensure there is a location and that the location data matches the dates of the profile.  Avoid abbreviations, add sources with citations & links for sources to support the data. From wiki ID from the dropdown menu go to Research to start looking for sources.  Sources & England Reliable Sources and [please review this page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources  Reliable Pre-1700 sources]

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Thank you for signing the Honor Code and 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, continue 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.

Check out the How-to pages for some quick tips on working with both the Wiki pages and our other members. There is some great information on those pages.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!

We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree community! I hope that you find many cousins on the site, and grow to like it as much as I do.

Please start with our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time and energy as you add profiles.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm here to help!

Thank you for your advice. best regards Maureen Evans

You seem to be stuck! I am happy to help you get started.

As David mentioned, the first thing you should do is upgrade your account to Family Member (it is free). There is a link on your profile under your name, next to “Guest Member” or use this link to upgrade. Just answer the five questions and click on the green box that says "Upgrade”.

Then start by adding your parents, grandparents, etc. Take your time, keep track of your sources, and ask questions.

Once you have some family members added, you may be interested in joining the Puritan Great Migration project or England project or find another project. The folks involved with those projects will be happy to have you aboard!

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, use the reply link below to let me know. I am happy to help!

If you want to communicate with cousins or others about genealogy (whether or not you want to add profiles on our single family tree), you can upgrade at no cost to the Family Member level at any time by adding your genealogy communication preferences.
