He is not a relative, being a second husband of my great-aunt, but I want to ensure his profile is established and categorized. I am adding his parents to deepen the link and will be asking for those cemeteries as well, as they are in another Saskatchewan cemetery.
On another note, although I have not yet added profiles for them, I have Dutch connections through my sister in law, whose family came to Canada in the early 1950s, to Alberta and BC.
I try to monitor WikiTree at least once a day, but no guarantee.
I came to Canada with my parents in 1958, when I was a boy. I have been researching my Dutch roots and making good progress. All my family is from the same area, near The Hague. Where are your relatives from?

The Poland Project is very busy categorizing villages in Poland. If we have created a village category for you, please help us by adding it across other profiles you manage, where applicable. You can also assist us by finding and adding it to other Wikitree profiles from the same village through the Find link at the top right of your page. Scroll to the bottom, "Search for Any Text". Categorizing = connecting users or profiles. We appreciate any help you have to offer!
Regards, Margaret, Categorization project volunteer.
I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! I also saw that you made 43 contributions, Thank you!
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors?
Let me know. I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders.
Thanks for volunteering to work on Pre-1700 profiles along with adding your own family branch to our huge ancestry tree here on WikiTree!!

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.
