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.

What is the craziest online genealogy "fact" (really fiction) that you've come across?
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
Have fun getting to know your ancestors, and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members love to help fellow genealogists. :-)
You can also join the conversation about the Question of the Week: Do you ever go back over a family to double check and look for new sources?
If you need some one-on-one help, dont hesitate to contact our Mentors Project. Our volunteer mentors will be glad to help you learn how to use WikiTree.
See you in the branches --

If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall
The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM' or check out this video video tutorial.
Welcome! As a guest you are encouraged to explore. Our Help pages (upper right) are full of valuable information. The Help Index, Intro to WikiTree, and our G2G forum will answer a lot of your questions. And please, don't hesitate to ask your own questions in G2G. Please read our Honor Code, it's what we're all about. If English is not your first language, here is a link to WikiTree Language Volunteers.
If you would like to join us in our effort to grow a FREE Worldwide Family Tree, click the volunteer button and leave a message to that effect.
Have Fun!
