I'm Eowyn, a WikiTree Mentor and Team Member. We're building a single family tree that we all hook into. Our primary vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so please make sure to look for duplicates on WikiTree before adding a profile. Having dates and locations attached to every person assists in our mission as well!
Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide to get you started.
We also have our Help Index with links to topics you may have questions on. Don't forget our G2G Forum where many of our members help each other out.
Any questions I can answer? Happy to help :)
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.
Our mission is to build a global tree with just one profile per person, so please try very hard not to add any duplicates to our shared tree.
Hope you enjoy WikiTree!
I am married to Yvonne Elizabeth Stephens whose maiden name was Bryant. Mother was Jose Cox and Father Richard Beresford Bryant. We have not been in touch with any other Bryants but my nephews father has the Bryant family tree which goes back to Victorian times. To date I have not added them on Wikitree as I have been looking at my own relatives which have been rewarding and challenging.
Best Wishes David Stephens
