I wanted to suggest that you edit your tag(s) so that eah surname variation has a separate tag. Once you save your tags, you'll be able to click them and see a list of other WikiTree genealogists who are also researching those subjects. For surnames, there will be another tab on that page that shows you all of the profiles with that name.

You'll also get notifications in your daily & weekly emails when there is activity relevant to your tags.

You can read more about them on our Tags help page here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tags

Please let me know if you have any questions! :-)

Hello and Welcome to WikiTree!

The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we work together on our share ancestors!

When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history.

Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests. It can be a name, like SMITH, or a place, like SCOTLAND. Be sure to click the "Enter Tag(s) and Volunteer" button when you finish!

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

We're really glad you're here!
