Hi Anthea,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Anthea, I love that you're already connected to our global tree. I'm happy to see you're planning to join our WikiTree Challenge in partnership with the Society of Australian Genealogists next week.

Did you see that we have a tutorial course available now? It already looks like you'd ace the course, but if you're interested see https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1507670/have-you-heard-about-the-wikitree-academy#q1507670

Hi Anthea,

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.

Hello Anthea

Thank you for joining WikiTree. I'm a WikiTree Mentor available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may have.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me via my profile page.

Maryann ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi Anthea,

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. Once you entered your family members it is exciting to see other people finding your family profiles, asking questions, and expanding it.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Great to have you on board, good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree.

Ludwig :)

I see that you have had DNA testing.

If you are interested, WikiTree has a special DNA Project. Information on WikiTree's projects may be accessed from the FIND link, at the top right of most WikiTree pages; select PROJECTS from the drop down box.

Contact Kitty Smith if you would like additional details about the DNA project. You might also like to search for discussions tagged with DNA in our forum, G2G.

I see you have uploaded a GEDCOM. There are several steps between uploading and importing a GEDCOM.

Please read WikiTree's GEDCOM instructions and/or these alternative step-by-step instructions with screenshots. Also, consider reading discussions about GEDCOMs in our forum, G2G.

A couple of tips:

  • Start by importing only 10-20 profiles, so you can get a sense of the time needed to edit each profile. Then you can decide whether to commit to editing an entire GEDCOM.
  • If your ancestor was born over two hundred years ago, she/he likely already has a profile on WikiTree.
