WFT simply means "World Family Tree", the name given to the CD-ROMs sold by Broderbund that contain genealogical information. For example: "1750-1849 WFT est. " means that the exact date is not known, but it is an estimate (created by Broderbund) based on dates given that relate to this person. This could mean that a date is known for the birth of a descendant and based on the assumption that there is 20-30 years between generations; this would put the birth of the original person between those years.
