Hi, my name is Teresa and I'm very happy to be a part of WikiTree. I am 56 years old and born with a curious mind. I will keep pushing & looking to find out things about what I am looking for. It's pretty exciting! Writing children's books is a dream of mine & I have one finished and the second one(first series off the first book) is about finished. I have two children, son & daughter, and six fabulous grand babies. Thank you for letting me be apart of this..
A warm 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 youve ever used and it is FREE. 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!
Here are some other suggestions for you to explore:
1. Our Help pages have all sorts of useful information or you may explore the Family Tree & Tools tab at the top of your profile.
2. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, youll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
More importantly, have fun growing your family tree and connecting to persons with the same interest.
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.
Marlene, WikiTree Mentor

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
It sounds like you will be excellent at busting through genealogical brick walls! :-)
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
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.
See you in the branches --
