Hey Joe,

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

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards .

If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles .

If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.

A project of note is the Global Family Reunion check it out at Global Family Reunion.

Questions? Ask via my profile page. Mags

Welcome Joe!

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community.

We are building one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to check for duplicates as you add any Profiles to WikiTree - the software automatically helps with this.

If you need any help, visit the G2G forum. You might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you.

We offer many ways to participate in WikiTree as you explore the community and connect your family with WikiTree. Thanks for offering to help build our shared tree.

I am interested in devleoping my own family's history and seeing where it fits in the bigger picture. I look forward to collaborating and sharing information and resources, and providing credit where it's due. I am picking up work that was started by my great grandmonther, and I look forward to expanding upon it.

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.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.

Hi Joe,

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile for every person.

A couple suggestions to get you started:

1. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

2. Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information, and searches are under the 'Find' menu.

3. Guests may do a GEDMATCH.

If you want to add your own research, you will need to click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile - include how you can contribute to the tree. One of our volunteers will then add you as a member.

Thank you for visiting WikiTree and I hope you enjoy exploring our friendly community.
