The Canada Project is hard at work improving profiles for our Canadian ancestors, and developing teams around exciting topics including:
- exploring the local histories of specific places, through the families that lived there
- writing the biographies of notable Canadians, and finding their connections to the broader tree
- making sure the lives, familial connections, and history of First Nations Peoples are well documented and central in our one-world tree
We would love you to join us! The Project covers all things Canadian, so no matter what your interests are, there's a team waiting for you!
To start with the Canada team, you'll begin with a journey down our new Trans-Canada Trail (you can learn more about it here). The trail is a short introduction to writing biographies and citing sources, and a bit of Canadian history. While you're learning, you'll also be helping to clean up, source and connect our shared tree! On the Trail, you'll also meet new people on our teams and learn to work within an active, collaborative WikiTree community.
Once you've completed the Trans-Canada Trail, you'll be invited to join other teams within the project that interest you.
Membership Information
If you are new to WikiTree and have not become a full member you will need to upgrade to Wiki Genealogist Level. Sign our Honor Code to receive your Wiki Genealogist badge, which is a necessity for editing profiles. Full details can also be found on the Canada Project home page. This will also give you a time line of what to expect from the Trans Canada Trail.
