As a general research aid, it's a huge help if you add the information from the sources (names, dates etc) to the biography, and link to the primary records (when possible), whether it's on FamilySearch, Nova Scotia Historical and vital statistics, or Census Canada. This helps keep things straight, and makes it easier for people to verify your work.
Cheers! Brad
I will take a look at the way you set up links to the sources. I’ve been adding the resources I found on Ancestry.com, then going out to Family search and replacing anything I can with the equivalent FamilySearch free access documents.
You're doing great so far. Definitely Ancestry sources are convenient, but of course once you don't pay $200 a year for the subscription, you're out of luck.
FamilySearch is my favorite because the citations are preformated, and it's free. For other online sources, like Canada census info, to save time I make a citation template that I can copy and paste. I then just have to edit with the right url, date, place, and name.
But everyone does it a bit differently. You'll find your own style!

Her death certificate says her parents were George Greenough, and Annie Baker. But you added David H. Greenough and Martha Margaret (Christy) Greenough. Moreover, Gavid and Martha seem to have had all their children in Massachusetts, not Jeddore. This all seems completely wrong to me.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The United States Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Have questions? Ask in the comments section of my profile.
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

I see that you have had your DNA tested, congratulations! Getting Started with DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. To get the best results, you need to continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to existing profiles in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, try a different one. 24 hours after you connect to an existing profile, your test will have populated on the profiles of your ancestors and their descendants, where others with potential matches may also appear.
One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that I found very helpful. I hope that you will too.
