Hi Sheryl, I had joined this site several years ago when a fee was required after a certain number of tree entries were made. I surpassed that number and since I did not want to pay, I had not logged in for a long time. I just now created a new account with a different email address and discovered that this site is free now. Is there any way to reconnect my new account with the family tree data I had entered under the old account?
Thanks for your help.

You must have misunderstood; WikiTree has always been 100% free. If you were a Family Member and hadn't signed the Honor Code, you would see ads on profiles, and if you hit the 300th contribution, you couldn't add anything else without signing the Honor Code, which was and remains 100% free.
If the original account was deleted, or you closed it yourself, any profiles you created for living members would also be deleted. You can enter the surnames in the field at the top of your page here and click the magnifying glass to see what profiles with the surnames are still on WIkiTree.
Email addresses should not be entered in public comments, so they have been removed, but you can email them to the Team and see what can be recovered since you remember the email you used and if you didn't delete the account yourself, you can contact the Team by email: info at WikiTree dot com, and see if the account and previous WikITree ID can be merged.
Good luck, and please reach out if you need anything.
Your comment: William could not be the father of Samuel because he was only 11 years old when Samuel was born.
Yes something looks off, the marriage date 1848 would imply a birth of about 1828, which would be right. Need to check and verify sources to make sure I'm mot mixing two Samuels.
Problem with WikiTree, I have to find some place to hang him before I move him.
But Thanks, this is what I need. LOL

I have been researching my genealogy for many years off and on. I have always had an interest in history and enjoy finding out where my ancestors came from.
I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. That's awesome. Our GEDCOM process is a bit different than what you might be used to on other sites. We have some great help pages to make your experience go more smoothly:
Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, youll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message here on your profile about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
Do you have any questions about our Honor Code? https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Honor_Code I'm happy to help!

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. Michelle ~ WikiTree Mentor
