Madrone Jack

Welcome! We are so glad you are here! Please make sure each of your Cooper profiles has a birth year, birth place and at least one Source. If you don’t have exact information, please mark your best guess as Uncertain. Thanks!

Are you related to me, Cooper-1: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship

Is the surname Cooper on your Tags Followed? http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

We have a Cooper Name Study to assist you with your general research and genetic genealogy: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Cooper_Name_Study

There are links on the Cooper Name Study page to our Cooper One Name Study, Pending Merges, Unsourced Profiles, Error Lists and the Cooper DNA Project. There are plenty of opportunities to add and improve Cooper profiles. Thank you!

Madrone --

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

As always, your questions are welcome!

You've been hard at work for four weeks adding family members and getting connected to those that are already here. You should have a few profiles that you manage now. So, this week we're going to look at how to work with your Watchlist: How to Manage Your Watchlist.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Thanks, Cindy

Hey Again,

You've been here for three weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!

Thanks, Cindy

Hi, Madrone --

It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Madrone--

You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.

Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Make the Most of a Profile.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Hello Madrone

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree and you can start adding your family members. As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.

Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have. Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.

You can also meet some of our members by joining in the fun with our Question of the Week in the G2G forum:What's the funniest transcription mistake you've seen?

Have fun! Veronica Australia

Hi Madrone,

Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and 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 be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

We’re really glad you’re here.

David ~ Wiki Greeter
