Thank you for volunteering! You are now a confirmed member of the WikiTree community.
As you add family profiles, use the green tabs near the top of each profile to see what info will be visible to others - just toggle between private and public views. Not sure how to start? Visit How to Use Wikitree for instructions.
If you need help, ask a question in our G2G forum. Most WikiTree members, including myself, are eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. If you need additional help using WikiTree, our Mentors Project is a great group of volunteers who will be glad to assist you. Looking for some great ways to help out our collective effort? The Volunteers Needed page is the place to go!
Dont forget to check out our Question of the week : What are your biggest genealogical organizational problems?
Feel very welcome to WikiTree! I hope you will like it here as much as I do.
The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any
other genealogy site.
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!
Feel free to explore. We hope you will help us to grow our BIG tree by volunteering to add your own branches.
When you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Just fill in the Tags and comments and click the "Save and Volunteer" button. Then one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership.
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.
