How are you? I'm David a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.
Thanks for adding profiles to WikiTree. There are reasons behind the eighth point in our Honor Code: "We cite sources. Without sources we can't objectively resolve conflicting information.
I see that you just volunteered and signed our honor code. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically significant ancestors? I see you have surnames for tags. Why don't you stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.

-Gilly
Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.
WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites
because our goal is to have one profile per person, and
that means we share ancestors and work together as a
BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd
like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits
into the big tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll be given an
opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective
family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us
about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm
your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family
to the tree!
