Attrahera fler släktforskare?

Question

Hej!

Har ni några bra idéer hur vi kan få fler släktforskare i Norden att börja använda Wikitree?

Jag kollade runt med en del släktforskare och många kände knappt till Wikitree.

Tänker att ju fler släktforskare som lägger upp sitt träd här desto bättre kommer Wikitree att bli.

Har ni några idéer?

Hey!

 Do you have any good ideas on how we can get more genealogists in the Nordics (or any other region/country) to start using Wikitree?

I looked around with some genealogists and many barely knew about Wikitree.

 I think that the more genealogists who post their tree here, the better Wikitree will be.

 Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

Hej Robert!

When I ask questions on the Swedish genealogy forum Anbytarforum I mostly add a link to the wikitree profile I am discussing. But perhaps it would be useful to add something more than a link, for example "(WikiTree is a free one world tree genealogy site)" (in Swedish) whenever I interact on the forum.

I have also encouraged people that I have more communication with to join WikiTree, and I have had quite a few that have joined, but most not that active. 

We should perhaps ask one of the bloggers on Rötter to blog about WikiTree? It might actually have some impact.

Yes, great idea!. Do you have a connection to anyone on Rötter?

I will try to make some advertisment about Wikitree. And hopefully I can make some good and active (read blogger) genealogists join.

How about reaching out too Peter Sjölund, if he could blogg about Wikitree?

And maybe we could get Wikitree Challange on a famous Swede???

I will contact one of the rötter bloggers, and ask where she keeps her research. Can you contact Peter Sjölund, Robert?

---

I have reached out to Peter, hope he answers. :)

Cool, tell us how it goes.

Answer 2

How about starting a Facebook group to help Swedish and Nordic members getting started?

Vi har en Wikitree på dansk | Facebook

There is also Wikitree för släktforskare.

Har du gett upp med detta, Robert? Jag har försökt gå med, men utan resultat.

Answer 3

You might add that Wikitree has the highest standard for documentation of any other site out there. That has been my observation.
