Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up GEDCOM biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

PS If you have any GEDCOM cleanup to do, there is a new tool that can help. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
Thanks again, Claire
If you hadn't already put all the work to get your Add buttons in the GEDCOMpare, I'd have recommended scrapping it and doing the Last Name at Birth (LNAB) change first. Actually, if you don't mind working it a little differently, I would still recommend that. Here's why ...every change you make is recorded in your Contributions list by your WIki ID (currently Piltz-34). When you change it to your maiden name, the Contributions list will start over from that point.
There's a way to use your GEDCOM file without having to do it all over again. I can't show you exactly how it will work but can explain. Here's what I share with members still slogging through the match/reject process:
If you would like to work in family units, try this.
Please do let me know if you have any questions about how WikiTree works, even if they seem minor. My rule of thumb when I started was to search for an answer for five minutes, then reach out to my Greeters, and then resume searching. I might have found the answer before they got back to me but they sometimes offered a different way of doing the same thing which was easier. We are always here to help.
See you in the branches,
Debi
OK, here goes. I started this process in November. I refreshed my GEDCOMpare file 3 times before I had a clean slate to add. I started with 1,041 suggestions and have no idea how many were added with the refreshes. I truly appreciate your advice but not looking forward to this process. I guess I will delete the GEDCOM file, merge my profiles, and then upload the file again. Does this mean that the people I added, matched and edited will still be in WikiTree and I will not have to add them but matches will be found during the compare process?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me through this.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
Thank you for upgrading. I am pleased to welcome you as a member of the WikiTree family. Your contributions will go a long way to joining the world’s trees together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
Have fun collaborating on your ancestors

I see that you have uploaded a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM will not automatically populate your tree, it generates a GEDCOMpare report. The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
