Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?
Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
Welcome to the WikiTree family! Were really glad youre here.

Congratulations, you are now a FULL member of the WikiTree community.
In order to help you get started, there are several helpful Wikitree videos on Youtube.
The help menu at top right corner can be very useful.
Remember to sign the HONOUR CODE.
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!
Welcome and Enjoy!
Remember Great big Oak trees, from little acorns grow
