Hi Iain,

Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified! Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, coordination is essential and project participation is strongly encouraged. You can learn more about joining the community, including projects, in How To #3.

Start by thinking about the particular time periods, locations, and topics which interest you. Take a look at the list of active projects for ideas. Choose a project which best fits the profiles you will be working on. Take your time; there is no rush to join.

Let me know if you have trouble finding a project which fits. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Hello Iain,

I see you are working on merges. Please review our Matching and Merging FAQ to understand your responsibilities in doing merges.

During a merge, the text from the merged-away profile is appended to the end of the text of the merged-into profile. After a merge, you will need to clean up the text by removing duplicate information and consolidating what is left leaving the profile with a single Biography section and a single Sources section.

The Help page on Biographies has a lot of great information on what to include and what to omit in a Biography.

Hi Iain,

You’ve been here about a week now so I thought I’d check in with you to see how it’s going. Is the How-Tos helping?

Give me a shout if you have any questions.
