This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful?
Please do let me know if you have any questions about how WikiTree works, no matter how small. My rule of thumb when I started was to search for an answer for five minutes, then reach out to my Greeters, and then resume searching. I might have found the answer before they got back with me but they sometimes offered a different way of doing the same thing which was easier.

P.S. Did you discover that the Tags you follow (names in green boxes) are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag? They also control the information which is included in the activity reports which you receive from WikiTree. You can add up to 20 total, or delete some if you are receiving irrelevant information.
I used your 2xgreat-grandmother's profile to give you an example of how to include more details about the sources you have at Ancestry. Here's a link to the FAQ that explains how to do what I did https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Links_to_Ancestry The only thing that I did which isn't included in the FAQ examples was to add "for Carline Louis in the household of C Bauman" to let your readers know where to look on the page.

PS We have a research tool that makes finding reliable sources easier. I use it all the time and it helps me remember different places to check. To give it a try, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research, scroll down near the bottom of that list, and select Research with RootsSearch (use your WikiTree email & password). There are over 20 websites to access from there. I especially like FamilySearch as there is no subscription required, though you do have to register for a free account. You can read more about the tool in the RootsSearch FAQ.
Thank you for upgrading, đ
I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a ânameâ back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
You mentioned that you donât know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point.
