I have coordinated the collection of our family tree data for many years. The data on here is as it has been supplied to me; plus data I have gleaned form many sources. Much is unattributed - and there will be errors (sorry) as much data is unproven.
The families of my wife and I are interwoven. Family surnames within 2 generations include Bateman, Allott, Manning, Crist (Christ), Scott, Cannons, Dowdle, Hutson & Hamilton.
Featured German connections: David is 24 degrees from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 29 degrees from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 30 degrees from Lucas Cranach, 26 degrees from Stefanie Graf, 23 degrees from Wilhelm Grimm, 27 degrees from Fanny Hensel, 31 degrees from Theodor Heuss, 20 degrees from Alexander Mack, 40 degrees from Carl Miele, 17 degrees from Nathan Rothschild, 25 degrees from Hermann Friedrich Albert von Ihering and 22 degrees from Ferdinand von Zeppelin on our single family tree. Login to see how you relate to 33 million family members.

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards .
If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles .
If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.
A project of note is the Global Family Reunion check it out at Global Family Reunion.

One or more photos you recently uploaded is a nominee to be our Family History Photo of the Week. We'll feature the winner on the main WikiTree home page all next week and share it on our social networks. I assume you wouldn't mind having the photo featured like this, if it were to win. If for some reason you wouldn't want this, let me know right away. We could remove it from the list of nominees if you let me know before Friday. Also, it isn't necessary, but if you have any more information about the photo or the person, I am sure members of the group would love to hear any stories or information that adds background color. You can add the additional information in the comment box here underneath the photo. Thank you!
How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying our site.
