Magazine Cover "WikiTree is a great, collaborative, global family tree site for genealogists of every level from every part of the world." —Family Tree Magazine UK, November 2023

"Before WikiTree, I was skeptical and discouraged about big one-single-trees because there were (are) so many errors, but WikiTree is different because it's collaborative, genial and there are people available to help resolve any issues." — Roberta Estes, blogger

"It's been wonderful to experience how collaborative genealogy in WikiTree makes all of us better genealogists. Collaboration on our shared ancestors encourages us to share information and to hold each other to high standards." —Ellen Smith, member since 2014

 

Travis Dykhoff Member of the Week: Travis Dykhoff [interview] coordinates the North Dakota Project.

"I started using WikiTree and really enjoyed it because of the level of moderation and volunteerism. I was tired of seeing multiple family trees on one site with conflicting information."

Elaine Martzen Last week: Elaine Martzen [interview] helps lead the US Black Heritage and Jewish Roots projects.

"I love that the community is based on sources for ancestors and kindness to each other. A free family tree accessible to anyone is a precious resource, and I love contributing to this goal."
