HI Elizabeth,

Please make sure to contact me if you decide to return to WikiTree, also, you will need to re-certify for Pre-1700 work, just let me know when you are ready.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Hoi Elizabeth,

Ik dat je heel veel vragen hebt over de werking van WikiTree/Gedcoms en privacy. En je werkt aan Nederlandse profielen. Mocht je vragen liever in het Nederlands stellen, dan kan dat ook.

Hey Elizabeth, If you prefer to ask questions in Dutch, please let me know.

Hi Elizabeth

Thank you for adding a GEDCOM. The GEDCOM does not automatically populate your tree it generates a GEDCOMpare report which you work through either accepting or rejecting all suggested matches, once that has been done, you add any remaining names manually

The GEDCOMpare process guide has tips on how to use the data in your file most efficiently.

For those using Chrome or Opera browsers, there is a tool that can help with the formatting of profiles which have been created through GEDCOM, so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.

If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, log into WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment. Alternatively, click my name to visit my profile. From there, you can leave a comment, or send a private message.

Have fun

Hi!

Just checking in with a few quick tips:

Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".

Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and and Standards help pages.

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

If you have any questions, please ask!

Hi Liz

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. 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 Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

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

Thanks for the email and thanks for offering to help. In a few days time you will get a message from one of the mentors and they will explain things further. You need to familiarize yourself with WikiTree and see what projects you would like to help out with, if they appeal to you. Good luck with your research and feel free to message me at any time. Michele

Hi

You clicked on the volunteer button indicating that you would like to collaborate and add information. If that’s correct please leave a comment here on your profile (just double checking) and one of the Greeters will be happy to add you as a member of WikiTree.

If you are just looking for family or other researchers working on the same names as yours, use the surname search function at the top of the profile page. You are welcome to do this as a guest.

Enjoy your researching.
