Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Thanks for taking responsibility for more Orphaned Profiles. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted". You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
Since you have uploaded a GEDCOM, I wanted to make sure you know about the AGC extension. It can help with the formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ. It works great for brand new profiles.
It may or may not work well on the previously orphaned profiles. Some have been changed enough for the tool not to work. In those cases, the cleanup is a manual process. One of our mentors created a YouTube video that explains her process. I recommend adding links to the profiles of family members, rather than removing as recommended in the video.
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!

Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting suggested matches, once that has been done, you add any remaining names manually.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
