Question

Hello, I am Glenn and I don't understand degrees, can you explain?

Answer 1

Glenn, Welcome to WikiTree!

As to your question, not understanding degrees: Do you mean the G2G levels after people's names?  If so, this help page kind of explains those G2G points.  Basically, you start as a rookie, moving to crew after a few hundred points.  At 10,000 (I think) points, you move up to Crew Mach 1, Mach 2, etc.  At 100,000 points you become a Pilot.  At 1 Million, an astronaut.  G2G points are separately tracked from Contributions to WikiTree.  You can find all the statistics under the "My WikiTree" drop-down list in the upper right corner.  You can see your G2G profile (which will have your last activity, etc.) when you are in G2G -- it's located in the same place under "My WikiTree"

Answer 2

HI Glenn, welcome to WikiTree 

I think you mean "degrees" in regard to the connection finder... you might find this page here handy. We have some super nifty help pages which you can find under "help">>"help" in the little menu at the very top-right hand corner of any WikiTree page.

Well, degrees has many meanings and to answer your question we need to know the context for your question. For example degrees are used to measure angles, but I don't think you were asking about that.  I suspect that Pam has given you the answer you needed.  It is helpful to others, who may come across your question if they ask a similar one, if you mark the most helpful answer with a star (just click on it - this will also improve your G2G rating).

I see from your profile that you are unconnected from our tree.  If you enter basic profiles for your family members, particularly parents, you will stand a better chance of finding cousins that you didn't know about.

We are a friendly bunch here, so if you have any questions just ask in here. You have made a good start.  You can also email me either via my profile or direct on jgw321@gmail.com
