Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?
Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
Thank you for volunteering! I am confirming your membership.
Please note that if you want to add family information to WikiTree and you do not know if any family members are already on WikiTree, then start with YOUR OWN profile and add the details of your Mum, Dad, your Brothers,Sisters etc
Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used.
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!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? When you confirm your email address, youll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message here on your profile saying you'd like to add your Family & Ancestors. A Greeters' Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.
