Thanks for joining WikiTree, and for preserving and continuing your family history. We hope you will like our collaborative genealogy community. You now have full access to all the features of WikiTree.
Having trouble starting your tree ? Start with what you know. You can begin by adding family members. Extra tips are at How to use WikiTree.
We do emphasize Sources at WikiTree as well as dates and locations as you build your family tree here. Stuck on how to do it here ? Ask at G2G. which is a forum for community genealogists.
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!
You'll get an email from us that has helpful links to get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any other genealogy site out there.
When you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? ?Fill in the tags and comments on your profile to show what you're researching? ?and click the "Save Tag(s) and Volunteer" button, and one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
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. Michelle~ WikiTree Mentor
