While doing Greeter duties, I noticed that you've recently uploaded a GEDCOM file. You've been at WikiTree some time, so you may already know this info, but I thought these links could be useful for you. Personally, I have found the newly developed AGC app very good at cleaning up profiles that have been initially created from a GEDCOM file.
The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.
For those using Chrome or Opera browsers, there is a tool that can help with the formatting of profiles which have been created through GEDCOM, so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
Have fun

My name is Matty and I am a Greeter & Mentor at WikiTree. I was wondering if you would be able to help me in communicating with a German volunteer. I would be very grateful if you could so please contact me if you are available!
I would only need you translate the maxiumum of 5 message, which I would be able to post on his profile.
Thanks, Matty
