Hi again, I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process that you might find helpful. Also, about 'Importing a GEDCOM' Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out.
Be sure to include the sources used, on each profile you add.
It is a good idea to enter a few of your ancestors manually, your parents and then your grandparents, just to get used to how WikiTree works. Then, to start, you could upload just one small portion of your tree with a gedcom to see how that works. There is often editing needed after a Gedcom import, so fewer profiles makes the task easier.
You are now a member of the WikiTree Community - Thank you for volunteering to help grow our World Wide Family Tree. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add, please read our Pre-1700 profiles info. Also, be sure to include a list of the sources used, on each profile you add.
If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the Help section or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House, you might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to be added to the trusted list for any of our family profiles.

I hope you're enjoying WikiTree.
Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Be sure to look for Duplicates before adding a profile, and always include Sources for your information.
The Help Index covers topics you may have questions about.
Our G2G Forum is where many of our generous members help each other out.
