Thank you for upgrading, you are now a family member of the Wikitree community. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a tour for new members How To the How to pages, really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around
I would recommend adding tags like your surname, your mother and grandmother's maiden surnames and the country of your family origins. Clicking your green tags shows who is following the tag. Adding surname tags improves links to the community, research options and projects. If a tag only comes back to you the tag will need amending to link into the community. To add Tags: My Tags
