I am interested in communicating with
cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
My family tree is at <https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree>.
I am a mutt. As a result, I have ancestors in many different countries, mostly European. Each area is researched differently and interesting in its own right.

First, make sure you check out our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time learning our system: New Member How-To pages. Please take a look at our Honor Code.
Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.
Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun!
