Are you new/newish to WikiTree and encountering some challenges in growing your branches?  These Zoom sessions hosted by Betsy Ko are for you!  The sessions are always recorded so you can watch later at a convenient time.  However, there's nothing like learning in real time and getting to ask your specific questions.  

You can participate in several ways.  Each month we actively recruit two to three individuals to join each call who are willing to let us look at their profiles and talk about their WikiTree questions.  Ideally, those participating in this way would be:

  • Up and running with creating profiles (even just a few!)
  • Be curious about how things work on WikiTree
  • Be willing to let us make some changes to the profiles they show us
  • Be comfortable talking on camera

Please answer this post if you'd like to volunteer to be a featured guest!

You can also be on the Zoom call and ask any general questions you have or just listen along.

Our June Zooms are scheduled for:

We'll also start the sessions with a look at a well done profile that shows the potential of what's possible on WikiTree. 

These two sessions will be the same, so just attend the one most convenient for you.  The videos will be available on WikiTree's YouTube channel within a few days.

Hope to see you there and please spread the word to others who might be interested in attending.

I would love to be one of the volunteers for 6/1

Good to see you are interested and that we were both on the Genies team! I will be assisting Betsy on Thursday and German genealogy is one of my focuses so hopefully I can help.
Hi Rolf--I immediately thought of the same German connection that you and Steve share.  Thanks for volunteering!  I'll send you a private message.

I was thinking I would like to talk about my father. (Steiner-2188). I’d like to talk about his biological father and his step father and how to show that relationship on his profile. There is a whole evolved story about that family. I’d also like to review what and where I can add documents that are in my possession for my father.  

That sounds good, Rolf.  We'll look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

I want to volunteer however I am disqualified  due to my shyness with being on camera, any suggestions?

Hi Diane--Would you be comfortable if you used "audio only"?  Strictly speaking, there's no need to have your camera on.  A lot of the time we're screen sharing anyway.
yes that would work!
