Profiles of people, places, and things can be edited by clicking the "Edit" tab on the page.
Profiles have distinct sections for the Biography, Memories, and Bulletin Board. What is the difference between these sections?
This free wiki text section is collaborative and neutral in its voice.
For example:
"Mildred's grandchildren fondly remember her cookies."
Privacy factor: On a protected profile you can decide whether or not to make the About section public.
This section is for first-person text. It could be used for anything you want to write in your own voice.
For example:
"Cousin Jimmy told me a story about Gramma where she was making cookies. Jimmy thinks they were chocolate chip, but I remember sugar cookies."
Privacy factor: This section is always private on protected profiles.
This section is for messages between WikiTree users. You can use it to communicate with other members of your family or with total strangers or distant relatives you'd like to collaborate with.
For example:
"Jimmy, didn't you tell me some story about Gramma's cookies? Maybe you could post it in the Memories section of her page?"
For example:
"I'm looking for anyone who might have known my grandmother while she was in school. If you knew her, please post a note here!"
Privacy factor: This section is always public.
