Hi again, Bill,

Congratulations, you have now been a WikiTree member for one month! Here are a few ways to dive in even deeper:

Read Beyond the Basics of WikiTree, for a guide to topics like Projects, Categories, and Merging.

Look for projects that need volunteers.

Check out our blog, a monthly newsletter along with tips, interviews, and guest posts from people in the larger genealogy community.

Find WikiTree on several Social Media Sites.

Let me know if I can be of help.

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 Styles 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 Bill,

Thanks for joining WikiTree!

As a mentor I'm here to help. If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

Here's how to add information.

Remember to include locations and sources in new profiles whenever possible.

Our vision is to build a collaborative tree with just one profile per person, so make sure to look for duplicates!

If you have royal ancestors, contact the EuroAristo Project to see about connecting to pre-existing lines.

Welcome to our community, Bill. Thanks for volunteering to help grow our worldwide tree by adding your family branches. :)

Our Honor Code, G2G forum, help pages, search features, and many other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.

Please consider stopping by the Tree House to introduce yourself.

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.

Thank you for helping in our mission to build a global tree with only ONE profile per person.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree!

Hi Bill,

We're all volunteers here, and what I'm going to tell you is just my perspective. I started on Wikitree almost a year ago, and I too had few matches. I saw Wikitree more as an opportunity to contribute to a more reliable collaborative tree, than, say for example Ancestry. As I added family members I did eventually make connections that are solidly documented. As far as proposed matches go, do not feel pressured to approve a match if there is doubt, just write a comment as to why you reject the match. If you would still like to volunteer, you of course can dedicate as much or as little time as you like. Any accurate contributions are of value to us. Just reply to this as to whether you would still like to be a volunteer. Thank you - Margaret

I am still trying to decide whether I can commit to the time necessary to do this. Also, I was discouraged by the relative paucity of matches. I had assumed that the vast majority of those in my file would already be in your system, but apparently not. Those who did match were ones I already knew about through Ancestry, myHeritage, etc., some were obvious non-matches. Also, it was not clear to me what to do about proposed matches where I simply could not tell whether or not they were the same person. There is no "can't tell" option.

Hi, Bill -

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM; thank you so much! Here's a link to a great step-by-step explanation of the process, including screenshots that you might find helpful.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, good to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
