Loretta Young

Hi!

Just checking in with a few quick tips:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Free-Space_Profile 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.”

Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out ourBiography 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!

Shirley Dalton, WikiTree Mentor

Hi Loretta - thanks so much for your email. To find the family lines you're searching for - enter the last name in the search box at the top of your profile next to the little microscope. You need to log in to Wikitree then you can click on this link for your Lyall search:

Thank you Loretta,

Now that you are a member of WikiTree, you are helping to build one Collaborative Global Family Tree. This means only one profile per person. It's important that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

To help you get started, view this introductory WikiTree video.

We also have Mentors who will be glad to answer questions.

Hi, my name is Loretta Young and I would like to find out all I can about my Mothers maiden Name Lyall. I dont know that much about these research sites but I would very much like to learn so I can research my Family names and build a FamilyTree of my own.

Regards, Loretta.

Welcome to Wikitree Loretta!

The initial email from us has helpful links that 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 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 you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the Family, we’re really glad you’re here.
