What would happen if there was only one single family tree – in the world? We would all be able to find our ancestors and only look once. Sounds like genealogy in a perfect world – or at least in the 21st century, right?
Introducing WikiTree
WikiTree has been working to create a global family tree since 2008. A truly global family tree, with one profile per person who ever lived, within the genealogical timeframe (back to around the time we started using surnames). WikiTree does this by creating a collaborative community for genealogists who work together on shared ancestors. It’s a robust community built upon a 9-point honour code and a system to help those who struggle to become better genealogists and at the same time better WikiTreers (a person who is a member of WikiTree).
