On our video discussing How to link your DNA Matches on GEDmatch to WikiTree, we received this question in the comments. I'm not sure how to answer. Can anyone help? 

"My profile says "No WikiTree link for this kit". I don't have any options to enable, disable, etc."

Thanks in advance.

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:GEDMatch#Links_from_GEDmatch_to_WikiTree

"These links only appear if:

  1. Your family tree on WikiTree is public
  2. You are not anonymous on GEDmatch."

There is WikiTree member with that name whose profile is privacy level private. If it is that person they would need to change the privacy level of their profile to public in order  to enable the WikiTree link.
