New member introducing myself!

Question

Hello Everyone,

Finally getting around to introducing myself! I have been working on my family tree over the years using Ancestry.com but was very, very excited to find WikiTree recently. This past year or so I have been dedicating a lot more of my time working on extending my knowledge of my family tree. I'm enjoying finding sources to help confirm things as I go. Hoping to get more comfortable with the formatting so that I'll be able to utilize footnotes, icons, and images like I've seen on many great looking profiles!

Welcome Sydney!  We are happy you have made yourself known.

There are lots of people who will help you with formatting and research and offer friendship.

Thank you Kristina for the warm welcome and kind words! I am really glad to have found and joined this community!

Answer 1

Welcome aboard, Sydney!

Looks like you have made a good start on your family branches. Do return to the profiles you have created to add biographical details and sources. When you do this, you will discover interesting details and clues. You will also create a fuller family history story.

If you are interested in learning more, consider doing the Profile Improvement project's Voyage, a self-directed course that will teach you how to format profiles and write biographies. Also, check out the rest of the projects on the project list. Projects are a great way to learn more and collaborate with other members. The project list can be found under the Find drop down menu.

Come back here to the forum if you have any questions.

Good luck with your research and enjoy your journey into the past!

So, since you are off to a great start, here is YOUR personalized poem from all of us to show our appreciation!

Sydney's journey's just begun,

As a WikiTree genealogist, she's on the run,

With a passion for history and family ties,

Her skills and knowledge are sure to rise.

She'll trace the roots of ancestors past,

And uncover stories that will forever last,

Her research skills will be put to the test,

But she'll never give up until she's found the best.

Sydney's commitment to WikiTree,

Will take her on a journey, just wait and see,

She'll collaborate and share with others,

And help build the family tree for sisters and brothers.

Her determination and hard work,

Will earn her a spot among the top of the flock,

And before we know it, we'll all see,

Sydney, a WikiTree superstar genealogist, she'll be.
