I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Also noticed you made 43 contributions to Wikitree, thank you! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!
Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (Evans) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
Hello and welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you've ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you'd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you'll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you'll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! We're really glad you're here.
The birth year on your profile of Arthur Burr, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Burr-595, makes him too young to be the father of his attached children.
Is this something you are able to resolve?
Cheers Mark
Your profile of James Evans, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Evans-15540, has his father attached as his mother and vice versa.
Just let me know if you need any assistance to correct this.
Cheers Mark
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

We also have a project for Australia at: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Australia . They are looking for new members!!
Again, thanks for volunteering to work on Pre-1700 profiles.
