WikiTree

They get all you and your families personal information, then your blocked and can't get back in. Horrible website, and mostly rude people.

Let's be clear, 99% of the top contributors on the site are white. There is absolutely no diversity on the site and if you call them out on that. Expect a ban. It would not be so bad if the response was not to simply ban someone for wanting more diversity. At that point it transitions into racism. This is also a growing trend in most English information sites. Where people of colour are rejected. This then contributes to some interesting racist leanings of AI that draws its information from knowledge sites. I do not think they are even able to correct this issue. Diversity just does not exist in English internet.

Avoid this site like the plague! It's very corrupt and their management team conceals their names! (Don't let them fool you. There is absolutely a management team, but they hide behind "the community"). If one of the "leaders" decides to block or remove your account (which they do often), there is no appeals process, and no names of anyone to even appeal to. You'd have to complain or appeal to the same people who unfairly took your account over. Shady organization that will takeover your account, your personal information, and even your DNA information. They should really be shut down.

There are, just to many mean people. Simple mistakes are treated as if you committed murder,. You will be blocked from your account. I would suggest fInding another site thato is not so intimidating where you can peacefully store your family tree for others.
Those mean people can! Fix a simple mistake with out turning you in to the mediation team,, its very one sided.

Run by people with no life and full of petty squabbles and more rules than any legal system. They kick you out for no reason, demand you undergo "mentorship" if you put a toe wrong and point you towards the endless pages of rules and procedures, none of which make an erroneous entry right. Seems there are a few people on the site who want to "own" all the entries related to particular names for one name studies and will find any reason to kick someone belonging to that family off the site. OK if you love reading endless pages of rules and procedures instead of actually tracing your family tree, but stay away otherwise, will only give you migraines.

Wikitree is an excellent free platform to collaborate with relatives near and far on a global family tree. The vision for having one profile per person who has ever lived means that budding family historians do not need to reinvent the wheel when researching their family history, and get the benefit of work done by others across the globe. It is exciting to be able to join in projects and collaborate further. I have particularly enjoyed participating in the Appalachia Project and the England Project. People are willing to give their time and talents to work together to meet the global goal. I have found standards to be very high indeed and it has been an absolute joy to be a member of this site.

Wikitree is great if you want to find leads and compare DNA, but if you are serious about building an accurate tree, this is not the place to do it. Also, when you post a question or report a situation and G2G boards, if is just like any social media site. You get flamed. So, use the tools that are helpful, and avoid otherwise.

I was a member for several years. I tried to join a group regarding the Revolutionary War. I was basically told that I didn't have to know how.
I asked the administrators a simple question about accessing a page to view my ancestors back 25 generations. I received a nasty response to go to the G2G page.
I asked a question about how to delete my account and have my personal information removed.
These idiots deleted my account and blocked me but didn't remove my profile.
Shut these idiots down!

WikiTree is a global family tree built by enthusiastic supportive volunteers. It's fun and free! Once you have connected your own tree to the global tree you can extend your family tree and discover how you are linked to notables and celebrities from around the world. My experience is that the vast majority of users of WikiTree are keen to help and support others who contribute to the site.
