A new idea to promote our tree!

I discovered that when I send a link in Discord this pops up. 

Is this your ancestor? Compare DNA and explore genealogy for Sam Havens born 1877 Grassy Creek, Morgan, Kentucky, United States died 1948 Montgomery, Kentucky, United States including ancestors + descendants + 2 photos + DNA connections + more in the free family tree community.” 

All I get anywhere else is just the link https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Havens-1426

I had to screenshot it and use google lens to copy the text but it was worth it! See it in action at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/65750531/samuel-ishmael-havens

Since WikiTree is a commercial website, this may be in violation of FindAGrave's Community Rules, item F. I'm not a lawyer and definitely can't speak to how Ancestry might respond but thought it worth mentioning.

You can use just the profile's ID#, and not the url -- or, as one enterprising Wikitreer does, add their promo "blurb" with the profile's ID# in add a flower.  (If I remember correctly, their "flower" is a Wikitree image.)

How is this? Is this your ancestor? Explore genealogy for Charles Curtis born 1888 Kentucky, United States died 1960 Clark, Kentucky, United States including ancestors + descendants + 1 photos + more in the free family tree community. WikiId:Curtis-11618.

Sam Ishmael Havens and I are related - 20th cousins twice removed, through my line on the Logsdon / Bowman / Lofton side of the tree.

I am finding that in one way or another, I am related to most everyone on WikiTree.
