Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering and sharing. 

Have fun and ask for help ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. You can also join in on the conversation about our question of the week: Going back in time: What burning question would you ask which ancestor 

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

You may want to edit your TAGS to include locations for each surname per TAG as this will allow you to find others searching for the same surnames.

Happy Hunting,

Jess

I'll return to your profile in a few minutes and can confirm you as a full member.

I am not around on the weekends so sorry for the late answer.

You can move you file over from Ancestry one of two ways. The first is to add your profiles one by one and take the time to check your sources and add sources as you go. I added my family this way and it was a wonderful opportunity to to do Genealogy-do-over.

The Second way is to download your files from Ancestry as a GEDCOM, then upload small GEDCOMS to WikiTree over time. Again this give you the opportunity to work small sections of your information to get sources and information up on your family. For more information on importing GEDCOM's click the drop down menu's top right of every page, Help > Help Index >GEDCOM's.

Good luck and have fun!

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.

Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! We’re really glad you’re here.
