Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper

Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

And we're always looking for volunteers to assist in different ways.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Irene (WikiTree Mentor)

I'm Eowyn, a WikiTree Mentor and Team Member. Our primary vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person. The farther back in your tree, the more likely you will find duplicate profiles to link into, so it's a good idea to do a search before you create a new profile. Try to add an estimated date and place of birth, at the very least, a country, for each person. This helps in searches. Last but not least, try to source each profile as you go.

We also have a naming standard here.

Feel free to check out How To Use WikiTree. It's a great step-by-step guide to get you started.

Do you have any questions I can help with?

Mark Stuckenborg-1 asked me to check in with you. If you need any help navigating, let me know or contact one of the mentors if you don't get an immediate response (I am going to be in and out the next couple of days) Mark said you were very knowledgeable on the Horn family and we can always use that here on Wiki Tree.

Any questions, if you need anything, let me know, and of course, Mark is a quick learner too, so feel free to contact him. Happy hunting!  :) Nae

Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.

If you need any help getting started check out the Help section],or head over to the G2G forum, you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our a_Mentor Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help with specific problems if you have any.

Good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree :) Patt

I hope to contribute helpful info to others & I look forward to finding more info about previous generations in my family. I'm excited to be a part of the WikiTree community!

Sincerely, Tina Marie
