Richard Shutes

Richard, I noticed on GEDmatch that you've researched the Shutes ancestors of Coral Joy Parks. We're working on her tree for our WikiTree challenge this month. We'll be meeting her tomorrow afternoon on Facebook and YouTube - you can see the details here:

Hi Richard,

Congratulations, you have now been a WikiTree member for one month! Here are a few ways to dive in even deeper:

• Read Beyond the Basics of WikiTree, for a guide to topics like Projects, Categories, and Merging.

• Look for projects that need volunteers.

• Check out our blog, a monthly newsletter along with tips, interviews, and guest posts from people in the larger genealogy community.

• Find WikiTree on several Social Media Sites.

Let me know if I can be of help, including with your GEDCOM. (If links don't work in email, check your profile page.)

Hi Richard, Thank you for volunteering to help grow our World Wide Family Tree.

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

Everything on WikiTree is a collaborative work in progress so don’t forget to read and sign our Honor Code. This is what keeps WikiTree a friendly and helpful community. We have many friendly members, feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hi Richard,

you sent your answer by private message. Could you please reply on your profile and I will be glad to confirm your full membership.

I see that you are looking for information on your family. If you are just looking you don't need to Volunteer. You will find the People Search under FIND in the menus, upper right of this page. You can also ask questions in the G2G forum.

If you meant to Volunteer to help grow this wonderful collaborative Tree, please leave a note to that effect. We would love to have you!

Richard Shutes - Researching Shutes, Hall, Miles and Wakefield. Have been researching genealogy and family history for last 20 years.

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful.

If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
