Barrett --

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree!

Thank you for volunteering.

You are fortunate to have some records to start with. Be sure to check WIkiTree to see if any of your ancestors are already here.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems. See you in the branches --

I like the mission, am good with the rules. My dad just said that his cousin has collected a bunch of genealogy records and would I or any of my brothers want to deal with it. I'm not a big history buff, but as a computer scientist I see the value in getting this data collected, so easy now, so hard later as folks pass away. So I volunteered and am volunteering here. For starters I'm bringing MY data, but we'll see how it goes.

Hi Barrett,

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the bit tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! We’re really glad you’re here.

Shirley
