Hello Brenda, You are still showing as a Guest member so you need to complete the process to become a full member before you can use all of the functionality. I am adding the greeters tag to your question so someone should be along shortly to help you get started.

Hi Brenda,  In order to add family members you will need to finish the process of filling out your tags and clicking on Volunteer button as explained in the initial email. Once you do that you will be confirmed by one of our friendly greeters!!

Here's how to do the Tags: 

You may want to add some tags on your page indicating a family name for one tag and a specific location like a country, state etc you are interested in, for another tag and then add other surnames or locations as tags as desired. That way you will be connected to others with the same interest.

Click on http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following to add or remove tags. Be sure to add comments explaining why you're following the tags. Those appear on your profile too. Again don't forget to click on Volunteer before your finished. Good Luck.
