Biography
I am a certified genealogist, certified with the Board for the Certification of Genealogists[1], since 2011. I have been doing genealogical research for more than 50 years. After retiring as a school principal, I began working with SNA International and the Department of the Army to do genealogical work to identify and locate family members of soldiers who went missing in WWII and the Korean War for the purpose of re-establishing contact with the Army and obtaining DNA samples from family members with the hope of some day being able to identify the remains of the fallen soldier to bring home for burial. I am happy to work collaboratively with others to further our knowledge of our ancestors, especially to include stories of their everyday lives as well as the facts of their lives. I have participated in several DNA tests including 23andme, Ancestry and FamilyTreeDNA, and manage the DNA test results for several family members. It is especially interesting to me to be in contact with a previously unknown "cousin" and to work together to locate our common ancestor. The book If I Live[2] is a compilation of letters I transcribed which were written by a cousin, William Trisler, describing his Civil War experiences as a soldier from Indiana.

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
As always, your questions are welcome!

There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.
Please let one of us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
Dont hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on your ancestor profiles on the bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try sometime!
It's time for your next stop on your guided tour. This week, we'd like to introduce you to our community and show you some ways to get more involved and stay up to date on everything that's going on: How to Join in the Community.
See you around the Tree :)
You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.
Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Edit a Profile.
As always, your questions are welcome!

I'm just checking in to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far? Any questions? Any issues?
Feel free to contact me via my profile page. I am happy to help!
As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree. Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.
You can also meet some heading over to the G2G forum. Feel free to jump in, introduce yourself, and answer our Question Of The Week: What tips do you have for interviewing relatives?
Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.

Welcome to the WikiTree family!
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person. The Honor Code allows us to work together on one BIG tree.
By now, you should have received an email with links to get you started. When you confirm your email address, you'll have the option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree. Volunteers begin by adding tags for their own profiles; tags allow them to keep up with new information on surnames, locations, concepts, etc.
If you would like to volunteer, a greeter can confirm your membership, and then you'll be on your way!
Carole
P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
