Thanks for adding profiles to WikiTree! When you are ready, do you know how to add sources for your info? Here's a page with more information about sourcing: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
A warm welcome to the WikiTree family! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used and it is FREE. 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 youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, youll 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 youll be on your way!
Were really glad youre here. More importantly, have fun growing your family tree and connecting to persons with the same interest.
Keep "Anywherers" Going:
I like the idea of having a stress free environment to help make WikiTree better. So I started a free-space page:
https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Anywherers&junk=1&action=edit
i wanted your opinion before posting in G2G.
If you are interested ask to be put on the trusted list for the Anywherers page!

Abby Glann posted a G2G discussion about keeping Source-a-Thon and Clean-a-Thon teams active year round. Check it out and let me know if you are interested. If the team is interested then I will start a free-space page for us. Pat

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
