Hello Kaj!

Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page. It's really great to have you on board.

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.

Hi

Since you're asking: I am not too happy about the reactions I got (in swedish, see below). I spent some time inserting more than 600 new persons in WikiTree (which comes from my own tree with more than 12000 persons, which comes from MyHeritage and Ancestry and have been "cleaned" in Gramps, so there are no more incompabilities). I thought that it would be welcomed by someone, but all I got was complaints, as I have omitted the sources of some persons. I think that contributions should be welcomed, otherwise people (like me) will only use the data in WikiTree, but not contribute. I was hoping it would be more like Wikipedia, where people help each other perfecting the information. As my time is limited, I have now decided not to spend any more time on WikeTree. As times are hard enough, I don't need more comments from people who think their main duty is to reprimand others.

Hej Kaj och välkommen till WikiTree!

Jag ser att du har gjort quizzen och certifierat dig för att lägga till pre-1700 profiler. Då har du också åtagit dig att de skall ha tillförlitliga källor tillagda men jag har sett på några av dina profiler att så är inte fallet. Om informationen i själva quizzet inte räckte som ledning så har du fått en länk nedan som jag upprepar här; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources Alltså räknas varken online-träd på andra webplatser eller så kallade "smart matches" som tillförlitliga källor.

Jag skulle vilja be dig att inte lägga till fler pre-1700 profiler förrän du har lagt till källor på de du redan har laddat upp till WikiTree.

För att underlätta vad som räknas som tillförlitliga källor för svenska profiler så har jag lagt till några på denna profilen; https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Andersson-12963 Förutom Riksarkivet som är gratis finns det även Arkiv Digital som har kyrkböckerna online men det är dock en betaltjänst. Familysearch.org har också en del av de svenska kyrkböckerna från Arkiv Digital tillgängliga gratis.

Då blir det nog inte någon mer WikiTree för min del.

Jag har, genom att testa fram och tillbaka, med olika program, kommit fram till ett släktträd jag tror ligger närmast sanningen. Räcker inte det för er, är det synd. Personligen har jag inget behov av WikiTree.

Mvh Kaj

Eftersom WikiTree framför allt är en plattform för _samarbete_ inom släktforskningen så är det av största vikt att ange källorna till de profiler som skapas, så att alla intresserade kan avgöra vad som ligger närmast sanningen.

Intressant att betona ordet "samarbete" i ett svar som inte alls inbjuder till det, utan snarare motsatsen.

Men jag ska naturligtvis inte tvinga på min input på någon/något som inte vill ha den. Jag utgår från att era svar på något sätt representerar WikiTree. Annars är min slutsats felaktig, men det må vara hänt. Det är inte så jobbigt att avstå från att mata in något. Jag kan nog leva med det.

Vore då intressant att höra vad du menar med samarbete.

Hi Kaj!

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 England 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).

Hi Kaj!

Hi Kaj!

We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Don't be afraid to ask questions in our G2G forum and get involved as much or as little as works for you. Be sure to check out the tabs at the very top right hand side of your profile, there is lots to discover!

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.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do!

I hope this helps! If you have any problems, let me know.

Happy tree climbing

Rhonda ~ WikiTree Greeter
