Hi Melissa, I see that you just volunteered and signed our honor code. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically significant ancestors? I see you have surnames for tags. Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
Let me know if you need any help! We're glad to have you on board!!
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree!! Thank you for volunteering,? and we hope that you will find relatives here on WikiTree. If not?,? we hope that you will add them to our shared tree?.
Have fun, enjoy the site and don't forget to ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
Come join the conversation on the G2G forum with the Question of the Week!!
This week were asking What do you think it is, that keeps you hooked into this hobby / obsession? . If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a great bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
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.
