It is only the last couple of years, that I am getting precise results, after my children bought me a DNA kit. I have now got new information about who my father' father could be and that is something that I am researching as I have first cousins once removed & twice removed with a name never discussed in our family. Of course, with names like Farrell, and Flynn and Flood, there have been countless names to research my family ancestors. Putting the final touches to the unmarried birth of my father would be lovely to do, as I am now 80 years old. Many dna matches - now almost 20k on one site, and thousands on another site, is keeping me busy.
First welcome to WikiTree, I saw that you just joined WikiTree in April this year. Glad to have you aboard.
The reason I am writing is that I noticed you chose our Integrators Challenge for this month.
Being that you have not become fully noted as a WikiTree genealogist and not really familiar with how we do things yet, it could have been a mistake.
When you complete a new profile for one of your relatives just skip over checking a challenge when trying to save the profile.
If you have any questions please get with a greeter and they will be glad to help you along the way. Also you can go here to see how we recommend newcomers to get started:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:New_Member_How-To
Thanks, Dorothy B. Integrator Project Coordinator

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.
