Do I fill in my own tree or does the information generate from the genogram?

Question

Hello, I have watched several YouTube videos, but I am still lost. Could someone please show me the tree that you all have created?

Answer 1

Noone can see the whole global tree, because after 10+ years it is very very big. Millions of connections.

In answer to your questions, yes you will need to add your ancestors and continues adding them, along with sources as far back as you can do.

You should add in siblings, their spouses, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and so on, along with sources, to each new  generation you add.

You do this because it increases the chance of making a connection. The more relatives you can add, the sooner you may find someone who is already on the global tree.

For some people it may take a while to make a connection. But please do not get discouraged.

Welcome to WikiTree! You have added your parents, now you can add your grandparents. As you add your twigs to the one world WikiTree, you will connect those twigs to branches and the branches to surname trunks.  There is only one huge family tree here.  We share each profile to add biographies, pictures, sources and other information that will tell others about that profiled person.  You have a good start!  Thanks for joining us.
