Welcome! You are confirmed as a full member and we are happy you are part of the WikiTree community! Please start with our New Member How-To pages. This will save time, energy and frustration as you add your family.
Click the green Tag on your profile page, you'll see other members following the surname or other Tags that include locations, periods of history or other genealogical interests. The more Tags you add the more links to the community research options.
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there. Please ask if you have any questions as I am always happy to help!
You can see how your profile will be displayed at each privacy level by clicking on the tab for "Profile (public view)".
After choosing your setting, you have several additional options to maintain privacy on WikiTree. You can use "Anonymous," an initial, or a nickname as your preferred name. Alternatively, although not recommended, you could also use "Anonymous" or an initial for your surname.
It's best not to anonymize your surname if you are hoping to get on trusted lists and share family tree info with distant cousins, etc. It's also easier to keep your gender private by anonymizing your first name.
Just a note to say hello and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about WikiTree. You can contact me by clicking the link to my name, then sending a private message or posting a comment on my profile page.
