Our Mission

The primary purpose of the Global Project is to provide a link to a WikiTree project or resource page for each nation of the world and to provide support and guidance to those country projects which have not reached Top Level Project status.

The Global Project also serves as a central hub for other projects with a global scope that otherwise lack existing project affiliations. Additionally, it offers a welcoming space for emerging projects which don't currently fit within established project structures or meet the requirements for top-level or sub-project status.

The Global Showcase on YouTube

On the 3rd Thursday of each month (1pm United States Eastern Time), join David Randall and Betsy Ko on the WikiTree YouTube Channel, as they take members on a journey around the world. Each month they will showcase a different nation of the world, providing a little bit of history, introducing you to some notable citizens via their Wikipedia profiles, and discussing research obstacles and opportunities relevant to that country. They will then use that country to present a genealogical topic that can be utilized around the world. Vitis the WikiTree YouTube Channel here:

The 15 Nations Global Tour

The 15 Nations Global Tour was the precursor and inspiration for our expanded newly Global Project. Over the course of 2023, we visited 15 countries and met 225 of their most notable citizens. Of those, we were able to connect 87 to the Global WikiTree. To read about what we accomplished, click the link below.
