Hi Desmond, are you just wanting to explore our site for information? That's perfectly okay with us. Everything is free here and you don't need to volunteer to do that. The upper right hand corner has five menus with useful links. You can do a search for ancestors under the 'Find' menu. If you're interested in helping us grow our worldwide tree by adding your branches or helping in some other way, please let us know and one of us will be happy to confirm you. :)
I noticed you uploaded or plan to upload a GEDCOM. Our process here is a little different than what you might find on other sites because of our goal of growing one worldwide tree with a single profile for each individual. Here's is the link:
Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
TIP: If your ancestor was born over two hundred years ago, there's a very good chance she/he already has a profile on wikitree. Before creating a new profile, use the "search function" up on top to see if your ancestor is already here.
To help you find your way, the help pages and search features can be accessed through the links on the upper right hand corner of almost any page. Feel free to post a question in the G2G Forum or on a relevant profile page.
If you would like to contribute to Wikitree, please click the Volunteer link to receive your ‘Volunteer’ badge, and post a comment here on your profile to tell us that you are interested in family history and wish to join us.
We will be very glad to welcome you to the WikiTree Community.
The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
