Barbara Talbot

Welcome back, Barbara. I hope you discover as much about your family as I have about mine over the years.

You joined long before we started sharing the How-to pages with members. It has some quick tips on working with both the Wiki pages and our other members.

Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

Hi Barbara

One of our mentors created a tutorial for the GEDCOMpare process that others found very helpful. I hope that you will too.

Hi Barbara, I'm not at all related to Matthew Talbot. Just stumbled across the profile and noticed it said it was unsourced, which was not the case. So I removed the "unsourced" designation so it wouldn't keep coming up as unsourced. Keep up the good work.

Hello,

My last comment twas posted by error. I am sorry.

I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you as you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper:

Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

Hi ,

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.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Hi!

How are you? I'm Guy, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

If you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info. Do you have Royal Ancestors? Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

And I'm here to help too, just ask!

It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

Some ideas to help you get started:

• Explore the Help Menu on the top right.
• Check out our introductory WikiTree video.
• Visit the G2G forum where you can ask questions and get answers.

I just got interested in genealogy, I only knew my grandparents, who all passed away many years ago. I didn't realize that I actually had a history to find.
