WikiTree started growing 15 years ago, from the grassroots up. Our community is now 1,136,205 members strong. Most genealogists and serious family historians have accounts. Our shared tree has 39,412,186 profiles. 13,809,582 have DNA test connections.
Connection Checkers: This week we remember the 9/11 attacks from 23 years ago by featuring New York architects in our connection challenge.

"WikiTree is a great, collaborative, global family tree site for genealogists of every level from every part of the world." —Family Tree Magazine UK, November 2023
"Before WikiTree, I was skeptical and discouraged about big one-single-trees because there were (are) so many errors, but WikiTree is different because it's collaborative, genial and there are people available to help resolve any issues." — Roberta Estes, blogger
"It's been wonderful to experience how collaborative genealogy in WikiTree makes all of us better genealogists. Collaboration on our shared ancestors encourages us to share information and to hold each other to high standards." —Ellen Smith, member since 2014
"After being confronted with wrongly merged information [elsewhere] I thought it was a great idea to work together with others on a 'clean' and 'sourced' tree. I tried it, I liked it, and surprise ... I am still here."
"The values behind WT ... the collaborations, fun and camaraderie are incredible. Don't be afraid that you won't fit in. We are all working on some form or other of family history and are a friendly bunch who are willing to help. You will make a difference by your efforts."
