You do not need to know how to code. Most contributions are just filling out a simple form.
- Go to: https://github.com/jamescockerham/Cockerh.am/issues/new/choose
(or click the big green "Issues" tab → "New issue") - Pick one of these templates:
- Add myself or my family branch to the tree
- Upload a photo or document
- Share my DNA results
- Add a notable Cockerham
- Fix something wrong
- Fill in the blanks (name, dates, location, etc.)
- Click “Submit new issue”
That’s it! James (or another cousin) will turn it into part of the live site within a day or two.
- 1892 family Bible photo from Tennessee
- Big Y-700 haplogroup R-FTC46695 with earliest ancestor from 1740 Virginia
- A whole new Australian branch going back to 1854 Lancashire immigrant
Every single addition helps someone, somewhere, find their family.
