Dennis, I found the person from a G2G question. But I remember my own experience. My first couple of G2G questions were beginner's issues, and I did not participate more fully in G2G for months. Yes, I could suggest that, and maybe I will, but it is a lot to expect of a newcomer.
And for the record, I wasn't particularly happy with the answers to some of my early questions. (Please don't try and look it up, because this is just a general comment!) I felt that the people answering were invested in the way things were, and not very helpful. Speaking again from experience, it takes a while to get over the impression that WikiTree is a big club where all the old-timers are friends.
