Added my tree. Noticed 4th gg grandparents already on there. Requested merge, great great grandfather merged, not grandmother. Same name, same husband, same date of birth, even same findagrave memorial ID. Took two months to get it merged! Tried to add beyond that. Had to get on profile manager’s “trusted list” before I could add my DOCUMENTED information. Never heard back from them. Suddenly I tried to log in and could not log in. Got error code. Could not leave a comment on my profile because I COULD NOT LOG IN! Sent e-mail asking for help. THREE MONTHS passed before anybody got back to me. All I got was threats for permanently being BANNED for NO EXPLANATION!!! Too many other sites out there to put up with this crap. Initially posted my tree in December, it is now APRIL and NO HELP! Again can’t ask for help in my profile because I could not log in. “A moderator will get in touch with you” but never did. Don’t bother trying to add info like others said, you can’t. I have documented ancestors back to 599 BC. YES, BC (Encyclodedia Britainica - Royalty, Roman Emperors), but CANNOT post ANY information. Again, too many other sites to put up with waiting TWO MONTHS just to add ONE ancestor. Shame. I used to think wikitree was a good research tool, now I know why so many profiles say “father unknown”, “mother unknown”. It is IMPOSSIBLE to add that information even though I have DOCUMENTED PROOF who the parents were. Grandparents. Great grandparents. Great great grandparents…
In summary, I would not recommend Wiki Tree to a friend.
