I have pruned three promising branches off my tree because of 'inconvenient' facts pointing to the lack of connection. I work in much same way as you do, between WikiTree and Ancestry, with some help from Find a Grave. Two resources I have come to depend on greatly this year are the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, better known as NEHGS, the best investment I ever made for my colonial ancestors, and the four volume "Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families by Douglas Richardson, which ties certain colonial families to the Magna Carta barons. Next I plan to do the DNA testing, and appreciate people on WikiTree who are ahead of me on that path. I enjoyed visiting your blog today - very informative. I'll be back for more.Pandababyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181377360157289102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562382291266918362.post-37294218220710904902014-02-26T14:09:42.916-08:002014-02-26T14:09:42.916-08:00I'd like to be added to your family tree blogg...I'd like to be added to your family tree blogger's pinterest board.

Sometimes, when entering information into WikiTree, I think longingly of that simple and very tempting "click and add" method on Ancestry.com. Your post reminds me that the easier way is not necessarily the better way.<br /><br />Thanks for this post. I look forward to reading more of your blog.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562382291266918362.post-72348757785683456022014-02-25T10:25:48.992-08:002014-02-25T10:25:48.992-08:00Another great source that I like to use is FamilyS...Another great source that I like to use is FamilySearch.com.

Far ...Hello Kyle, I too love the wikitree concept. Far too many people fall into the trap you describe on ancestry. It is clearly very important to check original resources but many just import trees resulting in a range of different and often unsourced ancestries for one person. The great thing about wikitree is that it forces collaboration where there are potential differences. I also love the DNA reporting on wikitree. I am very keen on genetic genealogy to 'validate" my paper research!<br /><br />VeronicaGenemonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115284860845570147noreply@blogger.com
