Hi Nancy, just discovered the entry for Samuel May on Wikitree and see you've added some material. He was my 3 times great grandfather. I have details of the family of his daughter and son in law. I'll try to load the information - including a photograph - in the next few days once I get the hang of posting to Wikitree. Cheers Dougie

Hi!

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. As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

I also see your background includes Scotland one of the groups we have is the Scottish clans. Matt~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

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.

HI Nancy: Are the Wyness's your ancestors? I am trying to trace them in Scotland to my ancestors that settled

in the Birtle, Foxwarren area of Manitoba Canada. Any help is greatly appreciated...Marie

Hi Nancy,and welcome to WikiTree! You mention ancestors in Scotland and Ireland. I wanted to let you know we have two great projects that focus on Scottish Clans and Irish Roots here called Scottish Clans Project and Irish Roots Project They might be places for you to get involved once you have settled into WikiTree.

You may find some of your ancestors are already on WikiTree and the people in the Scottish Clan Project will be happy to help you in any way they can. Thank you so much for joining WikiTree. Volunteers are what make it such an awesome place to share our family ties.
