WikiTree is a genealogy website that allows users to research and to contribute to their own family trees while building and collaborating on a singular worldwide family tree within the same system.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] WikiTree is free for the user and financed via advertisements displayed to unregistered users.[8][9][10] WikiTree is owned and hosted by founder's company Interesting.com, Inc.[11]
As of October 2023[update], the WikiTree website claimed that the site had more than 1 million registered members and contained more than 36 million profiles of people, with over 12 million profiles of people who should share a detectable amount of DNA with tested site members, their deceased relatives, or those whose remains have been tested posthumously.[12][13] As of July 2023[update], SimilarWeb ranked WikiTree as eighth in total worldwide web traffic among "Ancestry and Genealogy" websites.[14]
