Hey Larry,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards.

If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles.

If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.

A project of note is the Global Family Reunion check it out at Global Family Reunion.

Questions? Ask via my profile page. Mags

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 any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :)

You can search WikiTree as a guest. There are several ways to track a surname. One is to check the category page for the location where they were. Our categorization project may have put their profile link on a page for their location.

An obvious way is to find your branch in our tree, and follow it up to the end, which is often across the sea and into the country of their origins.

WikiTree works well with other database websites, such as Wikipedia, where you can read further about their home villages.

You can spend some time looking around and exploring the projects and purpose of WikiTree as a guest.

If you want to join and contribute to building the tree, then I will be happy to confirm you as a member - please just add a sentence or two about yourself here first.

Thank you.

Hi Larry,

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile for every person.

A couple suggestions to get you started:

1. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

2. Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.

If you would like to contribute, click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile to let our greeters know. You should include a little bit about how you plan to contribute to the tree.

Thank you for visiting WikiTree and I hope you enjoy exploring our friendly community.

I am just interested in finding information about where my family originated and when they arrived in the United States.
