Hello!

Thanks for your trusted list request for Orin Carpenter. I added you to the trusted list for all of the Carpenter and Swartzwelder profiles in my watch list. I am only connected to the Swartzwelder family distantly through marriage, and have not done much research on them. As such, please feel free to make any edits you see fit.

Thanks!

Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?

Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:

For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies

Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hi C!

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.

Wow!!! You're the 2,032nd Cotton to join Wikitree! I'm sure your 'cousins' profiled here will benefit from you adding to Wikitree your insightful collaboration, sourced research and first-hand knowledge.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.

See you in the branches --

I'd like to volunteer as a Wiki Genealogist. I've been researching my ancestry since 2003. I believe the mission of having one huge tree is magnificent! Because Wikitree has an honor code and rules, this will be an enjoyable place to work with other dedicated researchers.

Hi C.

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? After you’ve confirmed your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way! Welcome to the family! We’re really glad you’re here.

Laura, WikiGreeter
