Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
I have noticed a number of duplicates profiles and some issues with the lineages in Cosper family....I am going to be working these profiles, let me know if you have any concerns.
P.S. I see a note about DNA and privacy below. To adjust your privacy level, click the privacy tab on your own profile. One of the options is "private with public tree". That allows you to be connected to potential DNA matches, without revealing identities of family members who don't have public trees. To see what information other WikiTreers and casual visitors can view on your profile and those of family members, click the far left tab on a profile - "public view".
I am a WikiTree DNA Project Volunteer Helper. I wanted to let you know that when you post DNA test information on a WikiTree profile, WikiTree needs to be able to see the profile Family Tree Tab (top of WikiTree Profile) to make DNA connections down the ancestral lines.
I would like to suggest that you consider changing the privacy level on this profile and all of the ancestors to be at a level that allows everyone to see the Family Tree tab. Click the "Privacy" tab and set your level to "Private with public tree" or "Private with public biography and tree".
For further information on the available Privacy levels needed to facilitate this, please see: Wikitree privacy controls
