Hi again, Susan,

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.

Carole Partridge, WikiTree Mentor

Hi!

Just checking in with a few quick tips:

Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".

Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Berry ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi again, Susan,

Thanks for joining WikiTree!

As a mentor I'm here to help. If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, including with your GEDCOM, post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

• Here's how to add information.

• Remember to include locations and sources in new profiles whenever possible.

• Our vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so make sure to look for duplicates!

• If you have royal ancestors, contact the EuroAristo Project to see about connecting to pre-existing lines.

Hello Susan, 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.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the Help section or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House, you might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, Patt

I love genealogy and can't wait to find where my ancestors take me.

I notice you have uploaded a GEDCOM. You will find that there are several stages in the process between uploading and importing a GEDCOM. Here are some things to do while you are waiting for your emailed match report:

• First, please read Before Importing a GEDCOM

• Here are some great step-by-step instructions

• Consider reading discussions about GEDCOMs in our forum, G2G

(After importing a large GEDCOM with multiple sources, I found that adding profiles by hand would have been more efficient. If you have a lot of sources for each profile, consider using the match function, but not the import.)
