Hi

Congratulations, you have now been a WikiTree member for one month! Here are some further ideas to help you make the most of our site.

Beyond The Basics of WikiTree is a guide to some more advanced features of WikiTree.

If you haven’t found us already, WikiTree is active on many Social Sites. We also have a blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

And we're always looking for volunteers to assist in different ways.

Hi Rachel,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

Welcome to our community, Rachel. Aj Jacobs is certainly creating a lot of interest in genealogy and we like that. I'm glad you heard about us.

The more ancestors you add, the more likely cousins will find you and help through collaboration.

Our Honor Code, G2G message forum, help pages, search features, and many other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.

VERY IMPORTANT: The more documents, sources, dates, and locations you provide on the profiles you create, the stronger your branches and our mutual global tree will be. If you don't know the correct date, please estimate using before or after.

Thank you for helping in our mission to build a global tree with only one profile per person.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree!

Hello,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. Our G2G Forum is searchable or you can post a question there. The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks. If I can be of help in any way, please let me know! Welcome aboard! Mary

I heard about Aj Jacobs' book in his article 'Are You My Cousin'" in the NYTimes on Q recently, and have been waiting to come across something like this. I've always wanted to know if I had a larger family, because I have a common last name, but a very, very tiny family with very little known history. Wondering if there are others' out there.

Thanks for welcoming me!
