Newt Thomsen-1818 introducing myself

Question

Hello all,

I have been undertaking family ancestry research for a few years, using mainly ancestry as the place to store my information. I decided to start using wiki-tree both for the collaborative approach and because I think it will make me a better researcher, especially considering all the helpful information about free resources! I have moved some people from my GEDCOM over to wiki-tree, and I am now working on correcting the information in the profiles that I have uploaded.
Is there a challenge that anyone could recommend I join?

Much love for all the work others have put in on this platform!

Answer 1

Welcome aboard!

You might also be interested in the Profile Improvement project’s Voyage. This will teach you the basics of researching and formatting profiles.

Also, consider helping with the Sourcerer project’s challenges. Adding sources to unsourced profiles is satisfying and will teach you lots about how to research and where to find more info.

The project pages can be found under the Find drop down menu.

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 2

I would highly recommend joing one of the "projects" that your ancestors came from.

It looks like you may enjoy the Australia Project based on your tree.

You can never go wrong with the  or with their Orphan Trail, which is one of the best ways to improve your research skills.

I hope this helps.
