Hi Kelly,

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

• You can find recommended profile formats and tips on writing biographies in Styles and Standards.

• To describe an event, an heirloom or a location, you can use a Free Space Profile.

• Sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. See our process for resolving these situations.

If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, including with your GEDCOM, feel free to post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

Carole Partridge, WikiTree Mentor

I noticed you were thinking of uploading a GEDCOM.

• First, please read Before Importing a GEDCOM

• Here are some great step-by-step instructions

• Consider reading discussions tagged as 'GEDCOM' in our forum, G2G

(After importing a large GEDCOM with multiple sources, I found that adding profiles by hand would have been more efficient. If you have a lot of sources for each profile, consider using the match function, but not the import.)

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for joining WikiTree!

As a mentor I'm here to help. If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, including with your GEDCOM, post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

• Here's how to add information.

• Remember to include locations and sources in new profiles whenever possible.

• Our vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so make sure to look for duplicates!

• If you have royal ancestors, contact the EuroAristo Project to see about connecting to pre-existing lines.

We welcome newbies, Kelly.  :)

The more ancestors you add, the more likely cousins will find you and help out.

Our Honor Code, G2G forum, help pages, search features, and many other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.

Please consider stopping by the Tree House to introduce yourself.

VERY IMPORTANT: The more documents, sources, dates, and locations you provide on the profiles you create, the stronger your branches and our mutual global tree will be. If you don't know the correct date, please estimate using before or after. More clues are on my profile page if interested.

Thank you for helping in our mission to build a global tree with only ONE profile per person.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree!

Yes. Love that I found this site! My dad has extensive trees done from family tree maker. I would like to input this online, and also work on learning my husband's tree. I think I can get the Gencom #s soon. I am a newbie.
