Hi Tomalene,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful (links work from your profile page):

• Find recommended profile formats and tips on writing biographies.

• Use Free Space Profiles to describe things like events, heirlooms and locations.

• Read about our process for resolving situations with unresponsive profile managers.

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

Hi Tomalene,

Just a quick PS

Don't forget to Head over to the G2G forum. and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House or ask a question in any of the other categories. There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: for that "special" ancestor who is eluding you.

if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

Best Wishes, and have fun adding your leaves and branches!

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community! Please remember that we are trying to build one Collaborative Global Family Tree which means only one profile per person. It is important to ensure that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced.

To help you get started, check out an introductory WikiTree video that a member created. For member benefits, see our Community Members page.

We also have a Mentor Team who will be glad to answer questions and help you with any specific problems.

Welcome and Enjoy!

Fred

Hi Tomalene,

There is a great Genealogy 101 reference list here: Getting Started with Genealogy It contains great tips for beginning your Ancestor Quest.

WikiTree is a collaborative site for people of all experience levels.

Good Luck,

Fred

Just wanted to know about my family history

Hi Tomalene,

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 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 see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message here on your profile 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.

Have fun!
