Hi I am new to wikitree. Still trying to figure things out. I have learnes a lot from my dad's cousins wife. I have been able to match a lot from my heritage to people that are on wikitree.

Welcome to the community, Angela! I believe that you’ve found your home. Why do I say this? I’ve only been here for less than two months and found an incredible group of folks who will, go out of their way to assist me not only with my genealogy questions but also with the more technical aspects of being a member of WikiTree.

Be sure to check out the help pages. These are invaluable for protect folks from making mistakes that have to be corrected later. And also participate here on G2G. Your insights are valuable to us, too!

My motto is “Ask,ask, ask!” You might not find all of the answers you need, but the community will do whatever they can to lead you toward a genealogical solution.

Again, welcome. Glad to have you aboard!
