PS Have you noticed that you can click on Tags to see others interested in that surname, or location?
Have a look at the Get Started with DNA page for info about adding your DNA results.
DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. To get the best results, you need to continue adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to existing profiles in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, try a different one. About 24 hours after you connect to an existing profile, your test will have populated on the profiles of your ancestors and their descendants, where others with potential matches may also appear.
If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, use the reply link below to let me know. I am happy to help! If I can't answer, I will help you find someone who can.

PS One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.
You are now a Family Member and this will allow you to maintain and add profiles. Creating your family tree in Wikitree provides you the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other members.
Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.

A warm welcome to the Wikitree Family. By now you will have received an email with useful links to get you started. Take your time and browse the site to see what Wikitree has to offer.
Wikitree is different, because we have one goal: To have one big Global tree. This means we have one profile per person, and we collaborate as one big team.
When you confirm your email address, you will have the opportunity to volunteer by adding tags to your profile. These should contain what interests you in your genealogy: surnames, locations, etc.
A Greeter will then confirm your membership, and you will be able to start adding your information.
We are all volunteers here and happy to help if you need it.
I look forward to seeing you in the tree :)
Happy researching
Wendy?
