Question from Slange72 (06:00, 29 December 2025)
I am interested in adding my genealogy to Wiki and would appreciate guidance on how to begin the process.
My current research and sources are located on both FamilySearch and Ancestry. Additionally, I have completed extensive genetic testing. When overlaying my genetic results with ancient Viking migratory patterns, the data confirms my descent from ancient Vikings.
I just completed a documentary about my journey from poverty into one of the most influential professions in the HVAC trade.

- A general guide to beginning article creation is present at WP:YFA. If you're writing about yourself (which looks like the case here), please have a read of Wikipedia:Autobiography as well. randomdude121 07:02, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
