Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, member interviews, and guest posts from others in the community.

We're always looking for volunteers to assist in different ways.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions! See you in the branches!

Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:

For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies

Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Please join our Smith Researchers group so we know who you are researching: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Smith_Researchers

If you have not already done so, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include Smith and any other tag terms that are of interest to you: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

If you would like to help other Smiths, please find and add sources to any of these Unsourced Smith profiles: http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Unsourced_Profiles&from=Smith-1

Are you related to me, Cooper-1: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.

Don't forget to ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

Have Fun!

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.

Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! We’re really glad you’re here.

Fred
