Corinne, I’d be very interested to hear how you get on with Wikitree, because I’m looking around for something similar. I’ve had a little prowl around there, and wasn’t over-impressed with what I found - a lot of the same dodgy, unreferenced stuff that I’ve seen before on other sites.

Like the others I didn't renew my MyHeritage subscription, however I did try Wikitree but was extremely unimpressed with the whole setup and removed everything I either put on or attempted to put on.
