There are basically two ways to start entering your family. One is to start with a profile that already exists and add nuclear relatives (parent, child, sibling) to it.

The other way is to use the menu in the upper right hand corner: Add

Then you scroll down to: New Person

Then you will be adding an unconnected branch of the WikiTree. But not to worry, it can be connected as you go along.

Hello Roger.

For more information see

The best way to get started is to add your own parents, and any siblings you have.  Then the parents of your parents, and so on.  Build out sideways (siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles), as well as up.

Welcome Roger.  The easiest page to start from is your own profile.  Click on the 'Edit' tab, and look at the 'Edit Family' section on the right side.  There you'll find links to add your parents, siblings, spouse, children, and each profile you add will have a similar Edit window.  Start by entering your immediate family members and just follow your nose.
