Here's those links and instructions that I mentioned:
One way to "bring" your tree over is in a GEDcom, a GEDcom is exported from Geni.com and uploaded here at WikiTree, where you will need to compare your GEDcom to other profiles already on WikiTree. GEDcom's have a size limit - it's usually around 5000 people, which is a very large tree and I would suggest that you split your GEDcom into smaller chunks. It can take a fair amount of time to work through them properly, however are really great at finding duplicates, which can be very helpful for someone like me where spellings of some surnames can vary quite a bit. A lot of people get stuck in the GEDcompare at the part where they need to compare ALL suggested matches (either reject or match) before the system will add the "add" button.
I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any problems.
Kind regards, Pam
