Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.

WikiTree is a single global family tree. This means that there is only one profile per person who ever lived. You and your cousins would bring together your research and work your shared profiles together. How can this be? Collaboration!

Got DNA? Got family photos? What about colourful family stories? WikiTree has incredible tools for working your family tree “limbs” and for collaborating with cousins. We will look at how to add your limbs to our shared tree as well as how to use WikiTree's plethora of tools to move your family research forward.

Mags Gaulden is a professional genealogist specializing in genetic genealogy, and is the founder of Grandma's Genes in Ottawa.
