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 each individual 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
You clicked on the volunteer button indicating that you would like to collaborate and add information - sometimes people click the volunteer link when really all they want to do is explore our site for information. That's perfectly okay with us. Everything is free here and you don't need to volunteer to do that.
The upper right hand corner has five menus with useful links. You can do a search for ancestors under the 'Find' menu.
If you're interested in helping us grow our worldwide tree by adding your branches or helping in some other way, please post a comment on your profile page, to let us know, and we will be happy to confirm you. :D
