Hi Angela,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful:

• You can find profile ideas and other tips on writing biographies, in Styles and Standards.

• 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.

• Unfortunately, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these situations.

If you have questions, feel free to post them on my profile page or send me a private message.

Carole Partridge, WikiTree Mentor

Thank you for those great comments. I'm amazed how many people involved with WikiTree feel exactly the same.

Best of Luck!

Fred

Hi again Angela,

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one Profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need help getting started, check out the Help section from the Menu, top right.

Head over to the G2G forum. and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

If you are experiencing a specific problem, you can reach out to our Mentor Team They are a very friendly group of people

Welcome, and Good Luck!

Fred

I'm Angela and whenever I get spare time I'm drawn to connecting the dots with my ancestors. It is challenging and rewarding, and even to know more about my Grandparents was amazing. Now I've made it back to several more generations and I get such a thrill when I prove a link. I also come across many people who, although not my direct descendents, belong SOMEWHERE! I wish I could place them all in their family trees!

Hi!

I notice you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful. The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'. If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall
