You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.
If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top right, or head over to the forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory
WikiTree video that a member created.
I have a fairly large database (~1600 individuals) which I would like to share. It consists mostly of my ancestors (Grubb, Schermerhorn) that I have been working on (off and on) for a number of years. I have compiled research from many different sources. Most of this is known to be reliable, having been copied from published works such as "The Grubbs of Tipperary", "Schermerhorn Genealogy and Family Chronicles", etc. Other parts have been cobbled together from various web sources. In the past, I have sought to maximize the number of individuals covered. Right now, I would like to focus on improving documentation and providing more biographical material.

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
