Hey David,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards .

If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles .

If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.

A project of note is the Global Family Reunion check it out at Global Family Reunion.

Hi!

How are ya? I'm Matty a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site. Our primary vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well!

Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide to get you started.

Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our generous members help each other out.

And of course I'm here to help, just ask!

David, you are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top right, or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House, you might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Thanks, Bill

David, you may want to create a profile in your own surname, since this enables your profile to find its rightful place in our family tree. Our naming conventions can be found at Name Fields.

Thanks, Bill

Hi David, I see you have uploaded your DNA for comparison. We have a project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening. If you are interested and would like to check it out, go to the FIND link top right of your profile page, select PROJECTS from the drop down box, and then select the link for the DNA project. It has information listed that might be of interest to you, and feel free to contact any of the members if you would like additional details.

Thanks, Bill

I can link myself with several generations to the tree on here

Hi David,

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

As a Guest, you can;

1. Search for family members using the surname search function at the top of the page.
2. Contact profile managers regarding persons of interest.
3. Search our help pages, located on the top right, for all sorts of useful information.
4. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.
5. Upload a GEDCOM and create a GEDMatch report for an easy way to find your ancestor's profiles that already exist on WikiTree.

If you would like to help us grow our tree through Collaboration, you can do so by volunteering. Keep in mind that you only need to do this if you are really going to add information.

When volunteering, please tell our greeters how you plan to contribute so that you will be confirmed. If all you want to do is add your own branch, that's okay! Once you are confirmed as a full member, your profile will become a part of our global family tree, so it's something to think about! ;-)

We hope that you enjoy your visit to WikiTree. If you have any questions, please ask and most of all, have fun!

- Alison, Volunteer Greeter
