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 France 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 that you manage or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
To my mind post-1700 and post-1800 are, at least, as important as pre-1700 ancestors. More often than we want, connections to pre-1700 ancestors are scarce and date concerning them are scarce too so that it's difficult to make rightful connections between genealogic trees. On the opposite, connections between genealogic trees are easier with post-1800 data and, effectively, most of my connections in Wikitree came from post-1800 data. Sadly these ancestors are not "ethically protected" as the pre-1700 are and I'm more concerned about the data provided on private post-1800 ancestors than theorical editing actions that could occur on a pre-1700 ancestor that only exists by a single historical source.
I'm a french genealogist. And, if I already have a personnal website with my data that I intend to maintain, I think open and free collaborative family trees are a necessary complementary approach. Thus I volunteer to help growing the wikitree database.
