Hi Jon,

How are things going? Do you have any questions?

As you go farther back in your tree, it is a good idea to do a search first to see if you have a match already created on Wiki Tree before creating a new profile. And keep in mind, if you do find a match, odds are the manager is also related to that person and probably you!

There is a great question to review on G2G regarding duplicate profiles and merges. See: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/51703/behind-merges-identifying-lowest-numbered-profile-correct

Also, a great place to ask specific question is on G2G. Under My Wiki Tree (on of the links at top right) select G2G PROFILE. You can browse/ask/answer questions. You can also "tag" them by topic. I am a mentor, so let me know if you have any questions! Nae

Hi! I'm Lianne, a WikiTree mentor. I hope you're enjoying our site! Our primary mission is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so please make sure to look for duplicates before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well!

You may want to check out How to use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide to get you started.

We also have a help index, which lists all our help pages. And there's also the G2G forum, where our generous members are happy to answer questions.

And of course I'm here to help; just ask!
