Hi Alissa,

Congratulations, you have now been a WikiTree member for one month! Here are a few ways to dive in even deeper:

• Read Beyond the Basics of WikiTree, for a guide to topics like Projects, Categories, and Merging.

• Look for projects that need volunteers.

• Check out our blog, with tips, interviews, and guest posts from people in the larger genealogical community.

• Find WikiTree on several Social Media Sites.

Let me know if I can be of help.

Carole Partridge, WikiTree Mentor

Hello Alissa,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

Berry ~ WikiTree Mentor

Welcome!!

Glad you Volunteered!

You are now a member of WikiTree! Please help us build one Collaborative Global Family Tree, which means only one profile per person. It's important that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced- if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

To help you get started, view this introductory WikiTree video.

For a list of Member benefits, see Community Members page.

We also have Mentors who will be glad to answer questions.

Hello I am excited to learn about my family

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile per person. If you would like to help us grow our tree through Collaboration, you can do so by volunteering. You only need to click the volunteer button when you are truly interested in genealogy and want to find or add information about your family. Our volunteer “greeters” monitor each web surfer guest entry in an attempt to keep spammers out and they read each statement made by a guest. So when volunteering, please post a statement, short or long, about how you plan to contribute so that you will be confirmed. If all you want to do is add your own family branch, that's okay! Once you are confirmed as a full member, your profile will become a part of our global family tree, so consider that when you make your decision!

To start:

1. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.

2. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

3. Our help pages, menu top right -very useful information.

4. English not your first language? Here is a link to WikiTree Language Volunteers.

Want to Join us? Click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile - include how you can contribute.

Have Fun, Wikitree has been great fun for me!

Marshall, a volunteer greeter.
