Our Mission
The purpose of the Global Project is two-fold:
1) We provide a link to a WikiTree project or resource page for every nation of the world and we provide support and guidance to those country projects which have not reached top level project status.
2) We serve as a central hub for other projects with a global scope that otherwise lack existing project affiliations. Additionally, we offer a welcoming space for emerging projects which don't currently fit within established project structures or meet the requirements for top-level or sub-project status.
Project Access
To access a list of our current sub-projects and project teams, simply click on one of the tabs at the top of this page.

The Global Spotlight on YouTube
On the 3rd Thursday of each month (1pm United States Eastern Time), join David Randall on the WikiTree YouTube Channel, as he takes members on a journey around the world. Each month he will showcase a different nation of the world, providing a little bit of history, introducing you to some notable citizens via their Wikipedia profiles, and discussing research obstacles and opportunities relevant to that country. He will then use that country to present a genealogical topic that can be utilized around the world. Visit the WikiTree YouTube Channel here:
The Globetrotters Thon Team
The Globetrotters are the Global Project's Thon Team. If you would like to join us for our next WikiTree Thon, please visit our separate team page:
The 15 Nations Global Tour
The 15 Nations Global Tour was the precursor and inspiration for our expanded newly Global Project. Over the course of 2023, we visited 15 countries and met 225 of their most notable citizens. Of those, we were able to connect 87 to the Global WikiTree. To read about what we accomplished, click the link below.
