What is WikiTree.com?
The WikiTree community is a free worldwide family tree platform that empowers users to build and expand their ancestral records collaboratively. Without any premium memberships or restricted access, all content on the site is contributed by its users, who maintain full copyrights over their profiles. Users have the flexibility to keep modern profiles private or even hidden entirely, while older profiles become increasingly collaborative as one delves into the past. The community-driven merging process requires individual approval from profile managers on both sides, ensuring the integrity of the shared family tree. Underpinning this collaborative effort is an Honor Code that helps maintain order and credibility within the growing WikiTree ecosystem, which has steadily gained recognition in the genealogy field since its inception in 2008, now boasting thousands of active contributors
