I live in Alberta, Canada and have been researching my trees for about 10 years on an almost daily basis thru Ancestry. I have recently joined FamilytreeDNA and loaded my DNA from Ancestry to Gedmatch.com. I have also downloaded my ancestry file to Legacy where I hope to analyze relationships more efficiently. I have a research background and try very hard to provide bonus fide sources for my work. I am a firm believer in intellectual property and respect others contributions giving credit when I know the source. I have made some major brick wall breaks using Ancestry and networking with others. I will add more to this bio when I am better informed re WikiTree.

Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
Question of the week: What do you do with unidentified photos?
See you in the branches
