Welcome to the WikiTree family! The initial email from us has useful links that will get you started.
WikiTree is different because we have One Big Tree. Our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a single collaborative team. Our Honor Code is the key.
When you confirm your email address, you'll have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree, beginning with tags for your own profile. Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.
If you decide to volunteer, a greeter will confirm your membership. After signing the Honor Code, you'll be able to add new profiles to the tree.
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree. Thank you for volunteering, and have a great time getting to know your ancestors!

Our G2G forum is a great way to get to know our community! Join the fun with our Question of the Week: What is the craziest online genealogy "fact" (really fiction) that you've come across?
Looking for some great ways to help out our collective effort? The Volunteers Needed page is the place to go!
Someone will check back with you in a couple of days to see how things are going. Meanwhile, enjoy getting to know WikiTree!
