I'm Eowyn, a WikiTree Mentor and Team Member. Our primary vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person. The farther back in your tree, the more likely you will find duplicate profiles to link into, so it's a good idea to do a search before you create a new profile. Try to add an estimated date and place of birth, at the very least, a country, for each person. This helps in searches. Last but not least, try to source each profile as you go.
P.S. Do you have Royal Ancestors? If so, 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 already existing profiles. Thanks!
It's a pleasure to welcome you to WikiTree. You now have full access to all the features of WikiTree.

Please add quality sourced information to your profiles which is extremely important. Estimate if you aren't sure about birth or death dates. By doing so you searches will be more productive and helping expand your branches.
Also, this aids WikiTree Arborists in finding duplicates. *Most importantly check for duplicates before adding new profiles.*
Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. Thanks for your desire to help us improve our mission!

We also have a naming standard here.
