Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.
Looking for a specific person? Try under find and enter the name you are looking for (with dates if you have them).
It is very important to you and to others that you include as much bio info about individuals as possible & dont forget the need for sources. You will come to appreciate the need for this background info and sources as you continue with WikiTree.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. John Beeson WikiTree Mentor
Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.
How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.
Do you have Royal Ancestors? 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 profiles.
Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.
Thank you for volunteering to help grow our World Wide Family Tree. 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 profiles to WikiTree.
If you need any help getting started check out the
Help section or head over to the G2G forum. 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 with specific problems if you have any.
Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)
Building a free global family tree is an endeavour I'd like to partcipate in. I have ancestors from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wallonia, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and the bulk from Sweden.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'
A couple suggestions to get you started:
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 some time to read it.
Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum , and our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.
If you would like to contribute, click the volunteer button and leave a comment, here on your profile, about how you plan to contribute to the tree.
Hope you'll join us ~ Happy researching ~
