WikiTree for Beginners: Free & Unique Genealogy Site

Discover WikiTree, the free collaborative genealogy platform that's changing how we build family trees! In this first episode of my WikiTree series, I'll explain what makes WikiTree unique, how it compares to FamilySearch, and why the WikiTree Honor Code creates such a supportive genealogy community.

WikiTree operates on a "one world tree" concept where researchers work together on shared profiles instead of building separate trees. With incredibly high sourcing standards and a culture of collaboration, WikiTree has become my favorite genealogy platform after several years of active participation.

Whether you're new to genealogy or an experienced researcher, this series will help you get started on WikiTree and make the most of this amazing free resource.

🙂 Who Am I?
Hi! I’m Rev. Dr. Jonathan Mills UE; a retired Pastor, lifelong researcher, and avid genealogist. I find building my family tree exciting and enjoyable because I love discovering new sources, connecting with other genealogists, and producing a family story to share with my children and subsequent generations.
I am also an avid cyclist, computer enthusiast, world traveller, musician, and student of cross-cultural relations. Oh yeah … I am also a husband and father of 4 + 3 grown children.

All opinions are my own. This is my work for the benefit of interested individuals who wish to develop their family tree.
