Welcome to our community, Tara, and for helping to grow our worldwide family tree by adding your branches. The more ancestors you add, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. :)
Our Honor Code, G2G message forum, help pages, search features, and many other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The more documents, sources, dates, and locations you provide on the profiles you create, the stronger your branches and our mutual global tree will be. If you don't know the correct date, please estimate using before or after. More tips are on my profile page if you'd care to take a look.
Thank you for helping in our mission to build a global tree with only one profile per person.
I began researching my husband's family as a Christmas present and found myself totally caught up in it and began to research my family as well. It's so addictive but I am beginning to run into walls and I'm not sure how to get past them.
A few employees and a whole lot of volunteers are working together to create a FREE global family tree with only one profile per person. If you'd like to help us by adding your family branches or help to grow the tree in some other way, please select the volunteer button and leave a statement informing us of your interest in our project.
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
