Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Scotland Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Thank you! I'd welcome collaboration on my pre-1700 ancestors! There don't seem to be many at Ancestry.com who want to collaborate, so I'm hoping a few will show up here at WikiTree. The chance to work with other people is one of the reasons I decided to become active on WikiTree again. I appreciate your prompt to add sources as well. Best, Marie
Collaboration is one of the things that makes WikiTree so much different, and nicer than other online tree websites. Any time you have a question you can always ask in the G2G forum. You will see a lot of questions are asked in there and other members are willing to help each other. Joining a project will also lead to collaborating with other members that are working together in the same area and/or time period. We also have One Name Studies (ONS). There are a lot of Surnames that already have ONS set-up, Gordon is one of them, if you are ever interested.
Yes, sourcing is important here, especially on Pre-1700 profiles. We want the tree to be as accurate as possible. We offer a lot to help make it possible for all members to be able to do this without it costing them anything. You have come to the right place, we do all work together. I started building my tree on Ancestry and after a several years I found WikiTree and have been here since. My reasons were very much the same as yours, no one collaborates. That has caused multiple inaccurate trees and bad information to spread. It is nice to have others interested in the same thing that you are and willing to work together.
Wonderful WikiTreeing, Laura
Welcome back and thanks for signing the Honor Code! I hope you discover as much about your family as I have about mine over the last several years.
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
