Hi, I began my geneology during the pandemic and have been chipping away slowly at my list ever since. Many of my mother's ancestors are buried here in New England and it was awe inspiring to visit and photograph the brownstone graves of our colonial past. I've found ancestors going back to the 1600s in England and France, 1700s Germany and the 1800s Tirolean Alps.

I've also been researching my husband's family from Scotland and Poland. I'm especially interested in the Regulas who came from Kolbaszowa, Poland (Austria at the time Jakob left for America in 1900) where I seem to have hit the wall. Some of my more famous cousins are William Shakespeare and Noah Webster on my English side and Marie Miteouamigoukwe on the French-Canadienne. Thank you.

Hi Elizabeth!

I see that you have had your DNA tested, congratulations! Getting Started with DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

To be able to add profiles, you will need to upgrade (there is no cost). You can do this from your Upgrade page. Just answer the five questions, e.g. who you want to communicate with, if others can see your family tree, what surnames, locations, or topics interest you, etc, and click on the green box that says "Upgrade”.

Upgrading just means you will become a Family Member with the ability to work on your immediate ancestors to help us achieve our goal of joining all individual family trees into one global family tree.

Click here to start with our New Member How To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.

I hope this helps! If you have any problems, let me know.

Take care
