Welcome to the Wikitree family. Your "DNA Tested" badge indicates that you have taken a DNA test and that you probably have an interest in using your DNA results to uncover more about your family connections. We want to help you do that and have developed a few simple beginning steps for getting the most from your DNA test results.

1.) On your Wikitree profile enter your DNA test kit information if you have not already done so. To do this. click on the ."Add" tab select "DNA Test Information" and follow the instructions for entering your test(s).

2.) With autosomal tests also enter your optional Gedmatch ID if you have one. In the case of YDNA enter your optional YSearch ID or with mtDNA, your mitosearch ID if you have them. You can also enter Haplogroup information.

3.) Be certain the privacy settings on your Wikitree profile permit the sharing of your DNA and family tree with other potential genetic matches. Click the "Privacy" tab and set your level to " Private. with public tree" or "Private, with public tree and bio". Fot more information on privacy settings see, Wikitree privacy controls

4.) Build and expand your family tree.

There is a help section in Wikitree that will answer most questions you may have regarding DNA and its use on Wikitree. You can also ask specific questions in the G2G forum's. Good luck and happy searching.

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having. How is your experience with Wikitree going? If you have questions regarding Gedcoms, here's the link to the GEDCOM help category: GEDCOMS

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles. The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

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 any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :) Sally

I look forward to getting involved and hopefully learn about genealogy, with a view to researching my ancestors. If this assists others all well and good. I was born in Ireland, but have lived in England since the age of seven.So much of my research will be for Ireland.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile for every person.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. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum .Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.
