WikiTree is active on several Social Media Sites. Check out our blog where you'll find a monthly newsletter along with tips, interviews, and guest posts from people in the larger genealogy community.
Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
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.
Welcome to our community, Dale. We appreciate your desire to help grow our worldwide family tree.
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.

Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, please ask!
