Thanks for your note, Brian. From hard learned experience, I would recommend slowing down just a bit and doing the review and edit as you add the people.
I wish I had remembered that they are all dead already and would be there when I get to them. I am having no fun slogging through my bunch a second time to do the cleanup and verification before I can start new research. Has to be done though because, otherwise, I would be missing a lot of the clues I'm finding.
You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. The New Member How-Tos are for you to work at your own pace. If you had a chance to review any of it, was it helpful?
If you have questions about how WikiTree works, I'm here to help. Just click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page. I'll get back to you by the end of the day.

PS Did you discover that the surname tags on your profile are clickable links? Each will take you to a page of other people who research the surname and a bunch of links which might be helpful. You can have up to 20 tags.
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or special event. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.
