Yes, I have uploaded my gedcom to gedmatch. Haven't found a lot there but did find one cousin whose tree had a match for my Stillwells. I am still learning how to use wikitree. I uploaded my gedcom to wikitree 2 years ago, but got sidetracked and now I can see that I did upload it and I think my DNA, but when I try to open my tree here, I get a blank page, so I am not doing something right! I also have an additional problem: I did most of my research in the 70s, and stupidly didn't keep good track of sources, So now I don't know how much I can mark up to first and second hand info. And where and how to do that! Anafair
This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
As always, your questions are welcome!

You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.
There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.
Please let one of us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
Dont hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
PS Good work Sherry! You may want to explore on your ancestors profiles at the bottom right of the page is "Research" where you can find sources & information. Give it a try!
It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.
As always, your questions are welcome!

You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.
Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Make the Most of a Profile.
As always, your questions are welcome!

If you have not done so, set your Followed preferences to include DNA.
It's not hard to add DNA test information to profiles on WikiTree, just make sure you add the tests to the actual test participant's profile & set the Privacy to private w/ public biography & family tree to show the tester's part of our tree. For help see How to DNA on WikiTree
We also encourage you to join our Google+ Community for DNA discussions, questions & new information.

As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree. Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.
You can also meet some heading over to the G2G forum. Feel free to jump in, introduce yourself, and answer our Question Of The Week: What is your most memorable genealogical discovery?
Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.
