Melissa,

Thank you for again contributing to the Sourcerers Challenge in January! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Thank you for your contributions to the December 2021 Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for again taking time from your own family history to help others.

Melissa,

Thank you for your 50 contributions to the November Sourcerers Challenge! As you know, every source added to an unsourced profile improves our One Tree. Thank you for taking time from your own family history to help others.

Hi Melissa,

I noticed that you have been using the Challenge Tracker track changes during the last few month's Sourcerers' Challenge. Please consider officially joining us for the Sourcerers' Challenge. You can find information, including how to join, on the Sourcerers Project page. To get directly to the current G2G thread, here's the August Challenge thread.

No pressure, every profile with a source makes our WikiTree better. Your work will continue to be included on the Tracking Sheet even if you do not register.

Your work is appreciated. Thanks for sourcing!

Hi Melissa:

I noticed you chose our Integrators Challenge for this month (February  2021), thank you!  

• Could you do us a favor though, and go here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1179604/wikitreers-join-join-integrators-challenge-february-2021 , to sign up officially since you now show up on Feb 2021's Tracker: 

And if you can please add your question that you will be working on or the profile marked "needs profiles created" for the challenge, Thanks!

Got a question, see this page:https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Integrators_Project_Challenge_Outline&public=1   and ....  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Integrators_Challenge#How_the_Challenge_Works

Hi Melissa

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To find other potential relatives, continue adding sourced profiles for other lines until you can connect on all branches. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Have fun!

Hi Melissa,

Thanks self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.

It looks like the Mexico Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Hello Melissa,

I added to your Peralta line and found a connection to my ancestors: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Relationship&action=calculate&person1_name=Macias-849&person2_name=P%C3%A9rez-224

Take care cousin.

Hello and welcome to WikiTree! I see that you roots from México and have. I added to your Ugarte line and edited the profile for Macedonia Ugarte to use the naming conventions and location names used during the time of our ancestors. Which for México (including the Spanish colonial period) would be the Spanish naming conventions: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Spanish_Naming_conventions. For historical place names the images of the Catholic Church records will include the place name used during that time. Also, for the México Project we are using a Spanish version of the Bio template.

Please let me know if you have questions or need help researching the México archives at FamilySearch.org.

Saludos, Austin Pérez - México Project coleader

Hi,

I just wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. If you have any questions about WikiTree please feel free to contact me. Michelle~WikiTree Mentor

Hi Melissa,

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week now so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions?

We want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Charlotte ~ WikiMessenger

PS Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

Hi Melissa,

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.

Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.

Once you add profiles to WikiTree they become searchable and in my experience persons interested in these profiles will contact you and may provide further information to expand your family tree.

Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.

Ludwig :)
