Hi Ann,

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or problems, let me know.

Take care

Hi Ann! My name is Vicky (Freeth) Majewski and I am a WikiTree Mentor. I just saw your message on Robert Simmons's profile, and I wanted to let you know that you're more than welcome to post about your brick wall in our G2G forum. There might be someone there who can help!  :)

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, I see that you just volunteered and signed our honor code. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically significant ancestors? I see you have surnames for tags. Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.

Looking for some great ways to help out our collective effort? The Volunteers Needed page is the place to go!

Let me know if you need any help! We're glad to have you on board!!

Thanks for joining WikiTree, and for preserving and continuing your family history. We hope you will like our collaborative genealogy community. You now have full access to all the features of WikiTree.

Having trouble starting your tree ? Start with what you know. You can begin by adding family members. Extra tips are at How to use WikiTree.

We do emphasize Sources at WikiTree as well as dates and locations as you build your family tree here. Stuck on how to do it here ? Ask at G2G. which is a community forum for genealogists.

Happy WikiTreeing...Maggie

Hi Ann

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree.

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!

Are you, like myself, interested in how your family fits into the big tree? Do you have research you’d like to share? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to volunteer (To add your OWN family information), then one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

When site is busy please be patient waiting for Greeter

NOTE- adding Info is limited until you Volunteer and become a FULL member.

Welcome to the family! Glad you joined.

Greeter – Derek (Northern Ireland)
