Thanks for your contributions to our tree.
I see that you have been adding pre-1700 profiles tonight using Family Search trees as your source. This is not considered an adequate source for pre-1700 profiles. Would you please review the England Project Research Resources to see the type of sources required for pre-1700 profiles.
Thank you!
Dave
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

I love your enthusiasm. You don't need to merge your relatives if you find them on WikiTree; it is a one-world tree. WikiTree is a collaborative site, so we all work together. If you find a relative, they are there and you can verify the info you have with the data in the profile. Be careful here - read about communicating before changing anything, and be sure you review the source formats and guidelines for entering the biography.
There is a learning curve for the wiki mark-up and different levels of privacy. You can always leave questions or comments about a profile on that page.
If you want to upload a gedcom for GedCompare, this page will list your gedcom family members and give you a match if they already have WikiTree profiles. Review the report carefully, which will save a lot of time and frustration.
Please feel free to message me if you have any questions; I can help. The links in this message go to the topic information pages. Right-click on them to open in a new tab. I hope this helps.
Enjoy your journey! Sheryl
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.
