Peter,

Even een vraag, ik weet namelijk niet of je weet dat alle informatie die je hier op je profiel zet, voor iedereen zichtbaar is? Dus je adressen, vrienden etc.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Margreet

Hi

It's time for a six month Military and War Project check-in with all members. Have you been active in the last six months? Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the Military and War Project that you respond to these check-ins. To make bookkeeping easier, just click Reply to this message on your own page, add your reply, then SAVE. I look forward to hearing from you..

Many thanks,

Mary~ Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Hi, it's been a couple of weeks since asking if you wished to remain in the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'd appreciate you letting me know by the end of February if you desire to remain in the Project. If I haven't heard from you by then, I'll assume you no longer wish to participate. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader

Hi Peter, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done to improve the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'm doing a check-in with all project members and wanted to verify that you're still interested in being a member of the project. Also, any suggestions for the Project would be welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

P Kreutzer, US Civil War Between the States Project Leader.

Hi Peter

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, continue 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.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun!

Hi Peter,

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. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources).

Hi!

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.

I hope you're enjoying our site. Our primary vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well!

Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide to get you started.

We also have our Help Index with links to topics you may have questions on. Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our generous members help each other out.

And of course I'm here to help, just ask!

Alison ~ WikiTree Mentor

Pieter, I should have made the connection between you uploading a GEDCOM and adding to the tree, and confirmed you last night! You are hereby confirmed.

In order to build one collaborative Tree, it is our goal that every person have one profile.

Options for getting started:

• Explore the drop-down menus.
• Watch the introductory WikiTree video.
• Consider introducing yourself in the Tree House section of G2G.
• Use the People: Search function to find existing profiles.
• Ask a Mentor Team member for help with a specific problem.
• Let me know if you have any questions

Thanks, Carole

Pieter, I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM.

The help pages give lots of information about the process. Here's a good start: 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.

Here's a link to some great step-by-step instructions.

GEDCOM-created biographies need a lot of editing, so don't worry if/when another member edits the new profiles. You can read how to do some of it yourself here. When in doubt, leave info in, and let someone else edit that part.

You might also like to read discussions tagged as GEDCOM in the G2G forum.

Pieter, from your comment, it sounds like you might not need to volunteer. It's fine if you just want to search for relatives and family information. You are welcome to explore as a guest for as long as you would like. Guests may also participate in WikiTree’s G2G forum.

Volunteering means you want to add family information to WikiTree. If you would like to add information to help grow one big tree, please post again to let us know. We'll be happy to confirm you as a member if you do.

Thanks, Carole

P. S. Greetings from Colorado in the USA.

Hi Pieter,

As a guest, you can search for ancestors and participate in WikiTree’s forum, G2G.
