Hello Bill,

My family were suppose to come from Orkney, I cam only go back as far as Glasgow, to Robt Craigie1756 - 1820. By the names of his children His Father's name would have been Francis. Just thought I might break a brick wall. Yours sincerely, Daisy Craigie.

Hi Daisy, I'm far from an expert on the early genealogy of Orkney but in my limited experience there aren't a lot of records going back before 1800. I recommend contact the Orkney Family History Society.

Hi Bill

Thank you for adding your DNA Test to your profile on WikiTree. 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.

Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun!

Hi Karen, thanks for writing. I'm puzzled about one thing though. On my all female maternal line ancestors it says that the connections are autosomal and not mtDNA, and I've found several other such lines from other people that also say " there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line." Why is that?

Hi Bill,

DNA is not my strong point, you will need to add a mtDNA test on the DNA page if one has been taken, mtDNA is passed from mother to son or daughter. It will only populate that one mother line (i.e. your mother, grandmother which is her mother,

I hope this helps, any problems please let me know

Take care

Ah, I see now that the MyHeritage test I had was only autosomal. I just assumed that any DNA test would do the paternal and maternal lines as well. Guess I need to get more testing done some day if I want that.

Hi Bill,

There are a few different tests about, not all of them do the same thing, this link DNA Tests may he helpful to you, I always thought they were all the same, then I started to learn more about them and found out they don't, very confusing for someone like me 🤔

Take care Karen

Hi Bill

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz. As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within a project is essential

Please ensure a location is entered on all profiles and data matches dates of profile. Avoid abbreviations, add sources with citations & links for sources to support the data. From wiki ID go to Research to find sources

The United States Project would be of interest. Adding the tag UNITED_STATES will connect you

Explore Pre-1700 Projects list to find one that fits your research focus.

Hi Bill,

A warm welcome to WikiTree. You are now a member and can add your family to the big tree!

Click here to start with our New Member How To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.

Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!

Sorry for the second message. One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that I found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

Thanks Debi, that tutorial was helpful. I think I bit off more than I can chew here. I uploaded just a segment of the genealogy I have but that is still over 1000 people. I was under the impression that it would be a simple matter to get my data included in Wikitree, but I think it may be too time-consuming. I have been going through and matching or rejecting suggestions with no major difficulties, but do not have the time to go in and edit them all before adding them to the main tree. Is there a way to just have everyone added as is without editing them? How does it deal with things like conflicting names and dates if you just do an add without an edit?

Debi (McGee) Hoag

Hi Bill,

There isn't a way to get them all dumped in but there is a short cut that can help get a full family in at one time. When you're on a Compare screen and all the suggestions have been either matched or rejected, records which do not have WikiTree profiles will have an Add button. Clicking the add button will open the Add Profile screen and populate the form with all your data so that you don't have to type it. It also gives you a chance to adjust your data. Things you might want to adjust are cleaning up imported notes, etc. We have found that it is much faster to do the adjustments at the point of profile creation than after the fact when you want to move on to new research.

As you work with you records, you may discover clues that you had missed, make connections or find duplicates that hadn't turned up before, or realize that a citation is missing here or there for a specific piece of information. At least, that's what happened for me. I also discovered that seven of my 16 great-great-grandparents already had profiles created by family members, some of whom I was aware and a couple that were completely new to me.

I hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know.
