Hi Cheryl!

Thank you for posting a message, so glad to hear from you. Are you a part of the Bontrager lineage? I am working on my family tree little by little.

I'm finding that on both sides of my lineage, the males are fairly easy to research and find out but for some reason I often get stumped on finding the females. Do you have that same problem?

Have a great week!

Hi, K

Perhaps this will help; there is more to WikiTree, and creating profiles is both fun and challenging.

Tips & Tricks to Get Started:

Search WikiTree to find your family:

At the top of this page, you see SURNAME entered. Click the magnifying glass, and you get a list of all SURNAME profiles on WikITree, and you can sort alphabetically or by birth or death dates to see if family members are already on WikiTree. You can repeat this for each surname you are researching or add a first name to see all the profiles on WikITree.

You could download a gedcom from a site or program you have entered your family and upload it to WikiTree for the GEDCOMpare process. This page lists gedcom links for more information: Gedcom Topics.

You might want to set up a free account on FamilySearch.org and research to see if your ancestor is there. The FamilySearch records are outstanding and sometimes attached to the person on their FamilySearch profile, which can list parents, spouses, and children to help you get started.

Are you DNA tested? This page lists information on how to add your DNA kit and work with it on WikiTree: How to Get Started with DNA.

Get to know WikITree:

Register for the WikITree Academy here: Join the Academy. This gives you self-directed lessons to navigate the wonderful WIkITree website.

There are many tutorial videos. Click this link to get the WikiTree playlists on youtube: YouTube WikiTree Videos.

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Take care ~ Sheryl ~ WikiTree Greeter

I see that it's been over 4 years since you left it and I apologize that I am just now seeing it :-(

I was away from the site for some time and am back at it again. I am slowly navigating the different links and learning what I can.
