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
Just wanted you to know that there is a great Genealogy 101 reference list here: Getting Started with Genealogy It contains great tips for beginning your Ancestor Quest, including direct links to WikiTree for specific research queries.
WikiTree is a collaborative site for people of all experience levels.
Did you volunteer because you want to start adding your family and contribute information to our shared tree? If so, please post another message, here on your profile page, to that effect and a Wikitree Greete will be happy to confirm and welcome you to our Wikitree family.
Welcome to Wikitree! The initial email from us has helpful links that get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve 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? Research youd like to share? Interested in how your family fits into the big tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll 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 youll be on your way!
Welcome to the Family, were really glad youre here.
