James Ralph Burnett Sr. (1937 - 2018)

To my friends and family on Wiki Tree: November 11, 2018, I am entering Hospice in a couple of days and expect the end is just a few days away. It has been good connecting with you - keep up the good work! Jim Burnett

Hi Jim,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.

Add the project tag to your Following list to be kept up to date on any activity that occurs for that project.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

Hi Jim, I added a bunch to your Burnett line and I just orphaned them all. If you want to adopt them, that would be great. Kitty

Jim,

We've made a change in how the tutorials are sent to new members. Instead of weekly messages you can now work at your own pace.

How is it going so far? Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions?

We want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Hi James,

You have been here for a while now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

Have questions? We want to help! Click the name above any of your comments, then ask in the comment section of that volunteer's page.

Hello

It's time for your next stop on the guided tour! This week, we'd like to show you How to Join in the Community. There's no shortage of opportunities to get involved through social media, our forum, and projects.

Be sure to check out the One Name Studies Project to see if anyone has started a project for one of the surnames in your family. Don't see one? Follow the instructions for starting your own!

As always, your questions are welcome! If the above link does not work from your email, please go to your profile in the public comments and it will work from there.

Hi again!

You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.

Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Make the Most of a Profile.

As always, your questions are welcome! Check out our g2g forum at: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/

Hi Thanks for joining us!

Welcome to this wonderful site ! I'm a member of the Mentor project, and I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Hope you had lots of fun reading "How to Start Climbing Our Tree". I would be happy to answer any relevant questions you have, please feel free to ask!

Regards Ronel

Thank you for volunteering! I am pleased to confirm your membership to WikiTree.

As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree. Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.

You can also meet some of us in the G2G forum. Feel free to jump in, introduce yourself, and answer our Question Of The Week: Are you related to a Magna Carta Surety Baron?

If you have trouble with the links in this message, try clicking through from your profile page.

Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer your questions.

Hi James,

Welcome to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile per person.

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 time to read it.
2. See How to use WikiTree for how it all works.
3. Our G2G forum is the place to ask questions.
4. If English is not your first language we have WikiTree Language Volunteers.

Click the volunteer button if you want to help grow our tree and leave a comment on your profile about how you can contribute.

Have Fun!
