The aka in the name fields is not the way to do it. It needs a single name as per the birth record if possible in the last name at birth field. If buried or living by another name that goes in present name.
If neither put the alternatives in the other names box. separated by commas. This is to make searching work. Without the computer searches working the one tree becomes more difficult to achieve ;-)
So in your case it seems Rumler in last name at birth field then Rummler in present name field
This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro!
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
You've probably been hard at work adding family members and getting connected to those that are already here. You should have at least a few profiles that you manage now. So, this week we're going to look at how to work with your Watchlist: How to Manage Your Watchlist.
Please let me know if you have any questions! I am happy to help!
You've been here for three weeks now! We hope you're profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better.
You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.
Kind regards Tony
