Hi David. Does it help to look on your watchlist? It is available in the dropdown My WikiTree menu. The items are in alphabetical order, with Watchlist near the bottom.
Thank for your in put, but, all that does is give a linsting of 53 that are in the current that I am at.
I can not find any way of jumping to my other tree(s).
You don't have 'other trees'.  There is only one big WikiTree.
I believe David is using "tree" in its general sense here, rather than the special meaning it has on WikiTree.

In general parlance, a genealogical tree is a series of ancestors of one person, or descendants of one couple. That's common usage. WikiTree thinks of everyone (or at least all connected profiles) as forming one big tree, but we should be willing to understand when the other meaning is intended.

You can click on “My Wikitree” and then “Contributions” which will list everything you’ve done.  If you’ve worked on profiles that aren’t connected to the ancestors that you see when you click on the “Ancestors” button you should be able to find them that way. You can always enter a first and last name on the search page (on the Find menu), but if it’s a common name that may not help.   Wikitree is just one huge tree with lots of twigs and branches.  Not all are connected yet, so sometimes finding them again can be difficult.

Yes I know that there is only one TREE.

I have 2 Groups (whatever they are called) 1, Abernathy, 2 Realing and third that if have in the "Compare function.

I the past, I was able to tgo to thr Realing Group and that is all I woud see in a pedagree like chart. I could jump bact my Abernathy Group.

Now I am in the process in adding  third, which I can not see as a group
You can click on the Ancestors button on any profile and see that person’s tree…

Some of the tools available have recently moved. As well as what Kathie mentions, several of them are now available under the dropdown menu for a profile which is headed by the WikiTree ID (just to the right of the My WikiTree menu). These include:

  • Compact Tree
  • Family Group Sheet
  • Family List
  • Printable Tree

If you have multiple branches, maybe choose one profile from each branch as the anchor person and bookmark their profile. That might help you open the different branches that you want to look at.

OK, the "Groups" are NOT part of each other at this time., they are NOT branches of non of the others.
