My name is Guy. I am a WikiTree Mentor and a Leader.
Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. If you are new to Genealogy we have some great tips on getting started, Getting Started with Genealogy.
Then you can connect your family to the greatest global family tree on the planet.
And remember, we have the best team to help you through our marvelous site.
Enjoy your journey on Wikitree.
As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!
If you are adding any DNA tests to profiles on WikiTree, please be sure to add the tests to the actual test participant's profile, and that the Privacy is set to show the participant's Family Tree tab.
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
Wow!!! You're the 6,607th Ferguson to join Wikitree! I'm just betting there are some 'cousins' already profiled. I'm looking forward to reading the bios on your ancestors profiles.
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
Hi-my father was adopted and through DNA, his real father was confirmed as Caleb Sexton from Scott County Tennessee. I have traced my ancestors (I believe) all the way back to Aleyn Sexton (Born 1430). I am hoping to confirm this with someone that has done this from the Sexton side. Caleb>Caswell>Christopher Columbus>Robert Robin>Timothy Jr>Timothy>John>Charles>George>George>James>Stephen>Sir Edmond>Stephen>Edmond>Morris>Dennis>Robert>Aleyn. Hoping someone would contact me if I am correct. Thanks! Ruth Ferguson Sexton Clark [email address removed] or (575) 523-1575 in Las Cruces NM
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 youve 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 youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, youll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!

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. Michelle ~ WikiTree Mentor
Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA on the GenealogistToGenealogist (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
