J.v. Hudson

Please add me to the trusted list, for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hudson-6234

and for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Humphryes-2 I am working on the Hudson line. I have sent a request and a private message. Thank you.

Hi, J.V.!

I have a favor to ask. :-)

The way you've entered your Tags is causing them to bleed off the page, and it's also affecting one of our feeds. (see: Volunteers)

Also, it will work much better for you if you have separate tags for the surnames you're most interested in.

When you enter them as their own tag, you can click on them to see a list of other genealogists who are also researching that name or location. You'll also see another tab on that page that will show you all the profiles on Wikitree with the same surname.

We'd really appreciate you changing them up so that we don't continue to have the feed problem I mentioned. :-)

Thanks so much!

Julie, leader, Greeter Project

Hi J.v., I see that you've uploaded a large gedcom to WikiTree, with a lot of people who may already be here ("Suggested Matches"). I recommend that you add your parents manually, then your grandparents, etc., all by hand, not using a gedcom. Then you might add some of their siblings. This would give you an opportunity to work a bit in WikiTree before you over 600 profiles to work on from your gedcom. When you add a gedcom and some of your people are already here, and you correctly skip them, you end up having to go back and manually reconnect parents and children. If you don't skip them, then you have duplicates that have to be merged. In the long run it's often best to enter people manually. If you're still set on using a gedcom I suggest you limit it to 50 or fewer people.

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Our GEDCOM process is a bit different than what might be used to on other sites. We have some great help pages to make your experience go more smoothly:

• Uploading vs. importing
• What is GEDCompare?
• Before importing a GEDCOM
• After importing a GEDCOM

If you have any questions about your GEDCOM or our process, you can contact our GEDCOM Manager for assistance.

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree. Thank you for volunteering, and I wish you luck connecting to your Ayers, Averys, Baileys . . . and all the rest! I recommend though you change your tags, so that you have an individual one for each surnames you particularly want to follow.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. 

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

See you in the branches --

Margaret
