Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well.
Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide.
Also Help Index with links to topics you may have questions on. Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our generous members help each other out.
And of course, I'm here to help in any way Im able. Just ask!
Welcome to our community, Philip. The more ancestors you add, the more likely cousins will find you and help.
Our Honor Code, G2G forum, help pages, search features, and many other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.
Please consider stopping by the Tree House to introduce yourself.
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.
Because WikiTree strives to have only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and collaborate. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). That means even though you've created an open profile, someone else may add or correct information contained within that same profile. If you're lucky, they may even add an original source or a photo. :) Each new profile is a valued leaf on our global family tree.
I noticed you clicked on the volunteer tab indicating that you would like to collaborate with other researchers and add information. However, you didn't say in your message that you plan to contribute to our family tree.
If you would like to become a full member with editing privileges, could you please let me know by posting a message on my profile page so that I can confirm you?
Otherwise, you are more than welcome to search through WikiTree for your ancestors and post to the G2G forum as a Guest.
Either way, we are glad you found WikiTree and hope you will join us!
Upload a GEDCOM and create a GEDMatch report for an easy way to find your ancestor's profiles that already exist on WikiTree.
If you would like to help us grow our tree through Collaboration, you can do so by volunteering. Keep in mind that you only need to do this if you are really going to add information.
When volunteering, please tell our greeters how you plan to contribute so that you will be confirmed. If all you want to do is add your own branch, that's okay! Once you are confirmed as a full member, your profile will become a part of our global family tree, so it's something to think about! ;-)
We hope that you enjoy your visit to WikiTree. If you have any questions, please ask and most of all, have fun!
How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying our site.
