Hi WikiTreers!

Here are a few things happening around the community this week:

• Profile of the Week: English author Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), best known for her novel Jane Eyre. (Check your connection.)

• Question of the Week: If you could pick a different time period to live in, what would it be?

• New tutorials! WikiTree is unlike any other genealogy site. If you’re new or feeling lost in the forest, here’s how to:
  1. Start Climbing Our Tree
  2. Edit a Profile
  3. Join in the Community
  4. Be a Successful WikiTreer

• Chat with Bob in this Saturday’s YouTube LiveCast. The subject will be the Profile Improvement Project.

• Last Saturday’s LiveCast featured Doug Lockwood talking about the One Name Studies Project. Have you ever thought about contributing to a study?

• If you or your ancestors are from the Netherlands, the Dutch Roots Project could use your help.

• WikiTree is now signing up over 300 new members every day, but many in our community have been active for years. How long have you been a WikiTreer, and what brought you here?

Answer 1

I just had a look at the tutorials. They look really good. I also learnt a few new handy tricks. Thanks to all those who put them together.
