I just discovered WikiTree. I've worked on my genealogy on and off over the years. I got interested in my heritage when I found my grandma's genealogy charts in my Dad's picture boxes. She died in the 1970's. She has hand-written names all the way back to the early 1600's.
I am looking forward to contributing more here as I can.

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.

I hope you're enjoying WikiTree.
Our vision is to build a collaborative tree. Be sure to look for Duplicates before adding a profile, and always include Sources for your information.
The Help Index covers topics you may have questions about.
Our G2G Forum is where many of our generous members help each other out.
