My name is Guy. I am a WikiTree Mentor and a Leader.
Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. If you are new to Genealogy we have some great tips on getting started, Getting Started with Genealogy.
Then you can connect your family to the greatest global family tree on the planet.
And remember, we have the best team to help you through our marvelous site.
Enjoy your journey on Wikitree.
As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!
You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.
If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top right, or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
My name is Patty and I have been doing genealogy for 20+ years. My own tree I have downloaded is very small because of the restrictions on size. But I will add to the skeleton!
I'm not sure how voluteering works but wanted to introduce myself.
If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall
Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile per person. If you would like to help us grow our tree through Collaboration, you can do so by volunteering. You only need to click the volunteer button when you are truly interested in genealogy and want to find or add information about your family. Our volunteer “greeters” monitor each web surfer guest entry in an attempt to keep spammers out and they read each statement made by a guest. So when volunteering, please post a statement, short or long, about how you plan to contribute so that you will be confirmed. If all you want to do is add your own family branch, that's okay! Once you are confirmed as a full member, your profile will become a part of our global family tree, so consider that when you make your decision!
To start:
1. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including 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 will 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. Sandy ~ WikiTree Mentor
