Learn how to upload your family tree to WikiTree. WikiTree is a great free family history platform. This video covers how to download your family tree from Ancestry.com and MyHeritage.com using a Gedcom file. Then we walk you through how to upload your genealogy to the WikiTree platform.
WikiTree is a collaborative world tree similar to what you’ll find at FamilySearch.com. The WikiTree has some unique features you won’t find anywhere else. Also, it is a great place to find more resources to help you find your ancestors.
Special thanks to WIkiTree’s own Mindy Silva for walking us through the process.
