Check out "Beyond the Basics of WikiTree" for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Beyond_the_Basics_of_WikiTree

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Social_Media

And we're always looking for volunteers to assist in different ways. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Volunteers_Needed

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I'm happy to help!

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.

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree.

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.

NOTE- You cannot add Info until you Volunteer.

Once you volunteer (To add your OWN family information), one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! Glad you joined us.
