Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
My family tree is on another website.
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 for your ancestors, 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 link that says "Upgradeā.
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.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, use the reply link to let me know.
thank you debi. i am at the end of my doctoral program and plan on graduating in dec 2020. once that is completed, i will have more time to focus on genealogy. i have an extensive tree already built in ancestry.com. is there a way to transfer that tree to this site as opposed to starting from scratch and rebuilding.
Once you have done that, you can upload the file in to our GEDCOMpare process. One of our mentors created a guide which explains some best practices for working the GEDCOMpare process. I found it very helpful and hope that you will too.
If you have any questions about how to work with the file or bring over individual bits of your data from Ancestry let me know. We have several other tools that also can be used.
First, make sure you check out our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time learning our system: New Member How-To pages.
Please take a look at our Honor Code
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm here to help!
