1st, how do I know if I'm a full member? My name is Gerrye Fielden, nee Becker.

Question

I've  never worked on Wikitree before, so.... My name is Gerrye Fielden, nee Becker. I've been working on Ancestry, but my subscription is up July 1 and I can't renew right now, besides I need time to relax!  I'm especially working on the Becker line, have lots on the Guenther, Baum and Schultz lines, also on my husband and ex's (doing the Sturdevant/Fox lines for my daughters) Any help is definitely appreciated!  not sure if I did my DNA test results correctly... ALSO, how do I find my WikiTree ID/URL?

Answer 1

You aren't a full member yet. Go to the Intro page and follow section 2.3 to become a Volunteer and you will be on your way.

Answer 2

Hi Gerrve, We appreciate that you want to join WikiTree and hope that you will enjoy the experience.

First though, 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.

Oh and your user ID is Becker-6341 and profile URL is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Becker-6341

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

I see that you have gotten through the startup process. I hope it is starting to make sense for you .
