Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating 
with
anyone who shares the same ancestors.
My family tree is not online. Send me a private message.
For some time I have been looking for a non-commercial and professional tool for display of all genealogical data that I have collected about mine and my wife's families. Since late 2020 I have started using WikiTree for this purpose. My scope comprizes all ancestors and all their known siblings and partners with whom they have had children, thereby maximizing the chances for other genealogists to connect to 'my' part of our single World tree. My private database has more than 7000 persons from Norway (Drangedal, Heddal, Rindal, Vefsn, Alta parishes), Sweden (Ãlvsborg lãn) and USA. My sources are primarily church and census records and estate administration records and my goal is to refer to primary sources whenever possible and with a high degree of reliability and accuracy.

The sources should be added before the profile is created. I can see from Tellevsdotter-19 that you do return and add them, but it is so easy to forget.. I am sure that you will be adding sources for Eilevson-39.

PS. Please avoid the use of abbreviations as they can mean different things in different countries, always use the full words
Since you uploaded a GEDCOM, I wanted to give you the link to a tutorial that one of our mentors created that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.
GEDCOMpare process
The GEDCOM will not automatically populate your tree, it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches. Once you have done this the data from your file will be filled in on the add profile screen so that you can review and make adjustments before saving.
If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, let us know by using the "reply" link under our comments, or by clicking our names to visit our profiles. From there, you can leave a comment, or send a private message.

Jeg er glad for å ønske deg velkommen som medlem av WikiTree-familien. Bidragene dine vil strekke seg langt sammen med å slå sammen verdens trær.
Jeg vil foreslå å starte med New Member How-To -sidene, de vil spare deg for mye tid og frustrasjon.
Jeg er her for å svare på alle spørsmål du har om WikiTree. Legg til så mye informasjon som du kan, med kilder, da det hele hjelper til med å gjøre et “navn” tilbake til en person. Jeg håper du liker nettstedet like mye som jeg gjør.
Ha det gøy å samarbeide med dine forfedre
