Thanks for joining us, Heather! How are things going for you now that you've had a chance to look around and add some of your family tree?
When you have a moment, you should come on over and introduce yourself in our forum thread for new members. It's a great way to meet other genealogists and share what you are working on.
Hi Heather! Welcome to WikiTree. Because I love it when more Canadians join our community (Winnipegger here!), I just wanted to let you know about a couple of projects you might be interested in:
Project:Canadian History - This is where we work on improving the profiles of famous Canadians, including prime ministers, premiers, and other politicians, as well as actors, authors, folk heroes, you name it!
Project:British Columbia Cemeteries - Part of a global network of cemetery projects, this one is for people in BC who are photographing tombstones and adding the pictures to WikiTree.
We are building one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to check for duplicates as you add any Profiles to WikiTree - the software automatically helps with this.
If you need any help, visit the G2G forum. You might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you.
We offer many ways to participate in WikiTree as you explore the community and connect your family with WikiTree. Thanks for offering to help build our shared tree.

If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.
