You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week now so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions?
I want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

P.S. Tags are a great way to connect with others researching the same name or location. To make that easier, you'll want to add tags (one each) for the surnames and locations you're interested in (instead of having surnames & location tags). Click the linked "following" in the text just above your tag on this page, your profile page, to add more tags.
Once you save your tags (and last I checked, you needed to save each one as you edit or add it), you'll be able to click them and see a list of other WikiTree genealogists who are also researching those subjects. For surnames, there will be another tab on that page that shows you all of the profiles with that name.
You'll also get notifications in your daily & weekly emails when there is activity relevant to your tags.
Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.
Cheers, Liz
P.S. If you get a "Page Not Found" error when you click a link in a WikiTree e-mail, you can usually find a functioning link in the public comments section of your profile page.
