I grew up in Florence, Alabama (Lauderdale County) and currently live in Rogersville, Alabama. Most of my immediate family are from the Birmingham area as we moved to Florence in 1967.
This week's featured connections are Redheads: Tim is 21 degrees from Catherine of Aragón, 19 degrees from Clara Bow, 31 degrees from Julia Gillard, 15 degrees from Nancy Hart, 17 degrees from Rutherford Hayes, 19 degrees from Rita Hayworth, 23 degrees from Leonard Kelly, 24 degrees from Rose Leslie, 23 degrees from Damian Lewis, 21 degrees from Maureen O'Hara, 29 degrees from Jopie Schaft and 37 degrees from Eirik Thorvaldsson on our single family tree. Login to see how you relate to 33 million family members.
I recommend that you use the FamilyTreeDNA link to purchase a test.
Please make sure each bit of DNA test information is added to the actual test participant's profile, not someone else's like your own. To make cousin connections, WikiTree needs to see the FamilyTree tab. Check that your Privacy on your profile is set to "Private with Public Family Tree" as a minimum. (Living minors should have an Unlisted privacy level.)
Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA and other terms on the (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
As you add your family lines and connect to the big WikiTree, you may find new cousins. Use the Relationship calculator to see if you are related to me, Cooper-1 with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship
Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA on the GenealogistToGenealogist (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
If you are adding any DNA tests to profiles on WikiTree, please be sure to add the tests to the actual test participant's profile, and that the Privacy is set to show the participant's Family Tree tab.
We also encourage you to join our Google+ Community for DNA discussions, questions and new information: https://plus.google.com/communities/111329829039015718912
How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying our site.
Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well.
Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide.
Also Help Index with links to topics you may have questions on. Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our generous members help each other out.
And of course, I'm here to help in any way Im able. Just ask!
Robert ~ WikiTree Mentor
You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.
If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.
Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)

I would like to volunteer and contribute to the WikiTree mission. I must admit that I do not understand what GEDCOM is and would be willing to participate in a DNA test in the future. Thanks Gilly for pointing me in the right direction. I will begin reading some of the "help" text but if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to direct me.
To help you find your way the help pages and search features can be accessed through the links on the upper right-hand corner of almost any page. Feel free to post a question in the G2G Forum or on a relevant profile page. If you would like to contribute to WikiTree, please click the volunteer link to receive yourr Volunteer badge, and post a comment here on your profile to tell us that you are interested in family history and wish to join us. We will be very glad to welcome you to the WikiTree community.
