I just wanted to give you a few suggestions to get the most out of your genealogical TAGS :-)
It's best to enter a value that is going to be recognized across the website. So, if you put in the TAG a single surname like SMITH or JONES then when you click on it, you'll find some helpful information as well as other genealogists who are also researching that surname.You can also enter locations like ONTARIO or MAINE and add info like childhood home, etc.
When you're following a tag, you're alerted to any new activity through your Daily Feed email. Following a tag doesn't commit you to actively participate in a project or to helping others in any specific way. However, people may reach out to you to collaborate with them when you share the same tags!
As a guest, you can search for ancestors and participate in WikiTrees forum, G2G.
Please look at the drop-down menus in the upper right corner and read our Honor Code. Let me know if you have questions.
If you would like to contribute information to WikiTree (free, no spam), and help with our mission to grow one worldwide tree, please click the "Volunteer" button, then post a comment on this page with information about how you would like to help.
This is a great link for Genealogy 101 Getting Started and another for How to use Wikitree.
