DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Paul or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Paul Reitz: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 838 markers, haplogroup R-BY7749, FTDNA kit #930265
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Paul:

Dear Paul,

since I didn’t see any reaction from your side about the check-in message from May, I assume you don’t want to remain a project member. If I don’t hear from you within the next 14 days, I will then remove your Germany Project badge. If you do not wish for that to happen, please reply to the check-in message below or send me a direct message.

If this message finds you too late, feel free to re-request the badge by replying to our G2G join post.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Florian, yes, please keep my on the Germany Project. I often learn from it, even if my ancestors departed nearly 300 years ago.

Dear Germany Project member,

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Hi,

It’s Germany Project check-in time again! Please respond within the next 2 weeks and let me know if you’re still interested in participating with the Project. Remember, the only requirements for membership in the Germany Project are (1) that you work on at least one German profile every 6 months and (2) that you respond to this check-in.

Since you’re not working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams yet, please look at our main Project page for a full list and let me know which team you’d like to join.

Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. In your response, we welcome any feedback you may want to give on the project (what you like about it, what you’d like to see us do, what we could change, etc.)

If you ever have any questions, please ask. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi P

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. Please be sure to read and understand the info on this help page: Pre-1700_Profiles.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask in our G2G forum

Take care and have fun

Karen ~ WikiTree Greeter

Thanks for adding information about Jacob Reitz. We knew little about him so this is a great help!

Hello, Laura, maybe you can help with a simple (?) question.

Is there any way to use my family tree on my FamilyTreeDNA profile here? FTDNA limits access to shared matches, and I'd want to see something similar since once it's posted, it's no longer mine.

Tnx!

Paul

Hi Paul,

Laura is busy but I can help. If you are trying to use the names and dates from your FamilyTree profile, you will need to download a GEDcom file. The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

If you are looking to use your DNA info from FamilyTree, have a look at the DNA help page mentioned in the comment below.
