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
Hi Felicity, and welcome to WikiTree! You mentioned your ancestors in the United Kingdom. I wanted to let you know we have a great project that focuses on the UK here called United Kingdom Project It would be a great place for you to get involved once you have settled into WikiTree.
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
If you separate your one tag into three -- one for each surname -- you'll be able to click on them to see other Wikitreers who are also researching those names.
Also, once you get back to your earlier ancestors, make sure to search before adding them. We have a lot of people from the earlier eras already here. :-)
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
