Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Hi,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

thanks for the note. I've found great success here, and I hope you do to. The collaboration aspect is amazingly helpful! (sometimes frustrating, when merges go awry, but that pain is nothing compared to the thrill of breaking through brick walls!) Cheers, Liz

P.S. WikiTree Help has a section about adoptions/multiple parents you might find, um, helpful :D

Hi again, and I'm so sorry for your loss. I joined WikiTree just after my Mom died, and I found comfort in documenting her ancestry here.

I just confirmed you as a member (once you sign the Honor Code, you’ll be a full member – aka a Wiki Genealogist). An important aspect of WikiTree is providing sources for information (even if it’s just “Aunt Louisa told me in 1984...”) – my profile page has a link to Sources Resources, where I’ve tried to provide an overview of source information.

Give G2G or me a holler if you get stuck on anything, and thank you for joining our collaborative tree. Remember that our mission is to build a global tree with just one profile per person, so please look for duplicates before adding a profile.

Enjoy!

My father passed away late 2013. Here it is, February 2014, and I'm back at genealogy work! Geni.com was my first site, but paywalls are so irritating! I have a wife who was adopted, and am interested in methods for dealing with complexities such as adoption. Hope I can help anyone with any special issues they may be having.

P.S. I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process, including screenshots, that you might find helpful. Also, the WikiTree Help pages give lots of information about the process; a good starting place is Before you import a GEDCOM.

Welcome James!

As a guest, you can search for your ancestors and participate in G2G, where you can ask questions that you didn't find an answer to in WikiTree Help (see the “Help” drop-down menu at upper right–for additional links that may be of use, please click my name and check out the links I list under my "Greeter" section–especially the Sources links and the links to my fellow greeters Debby and Maggie, who also have helpful information on their profile pages).

If you would like to join WikiTree, and help with our mission of one tree, please read the Honor Code, volunteer, and post a comment on your profile page; we'll be glad to add you to the WikiTree community.

Happy Hunting!
