Hello,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having. How is your experience with Wikitree going? Our G2G Forumis searchable or you can post a question there. The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks. Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

Hi David!

Thank you for your decision to contribute. WikiTreers have all sorts of skills, but one common interest - genealogy. I would recommend first looking around and become familiar with the various functions.

The main menu, located at the top right of the page, offers access to the most important features amongst them your Wiki-ID. In the help section »G2G« at the bottom, you’ll find the WikiTree online help. You can ask all sorts of questions, technical and others, and because WikiTree is worldwide, there is almost always someone online, who can give a qualified answer. Good luck! - and don't forget to sign the Honor Code. Pleasure to have you onboard.

I began pursuing genealogy as a way to provide a frame work to my families many stories and old photos. My goal is to trace my family back to our roots in Scotland and see what surprises may lay along the way.

Hi David!

Welcome to WikiTree, and thank you for your interest.

If you just want to look things up, or upload a gedcom for match, you do not need to take further actions.

If you want to contribute to WikiTree (add profiles, collaborate etc.), you must sign up as a volunteer. Doing so I’ll ask you to tell a little about your plans at the bulletin board. Do not volunteer unless you plan to contribute please!

After volunteering you can sign the HONOR CODE. You'll then become a full member and can help grow WikiTree through participation in the community. WikiTree also have MENTORS in case you need guidiance.
