Hi Matthew, and welcome to WikiTree. We have two projects you might be interested in joining once you have settled into WikiTree United Kingdom Project which includes our Project Scotland
Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you've ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you'd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you'll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you'll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! We're really glad you're here.
Just checking in with a few quick tips:
Looking to make more connections or find more information about an ancestor but not sure how to do that? Try categorizing your profiles.
Not sure what to put into a biography? Here are some Bio Ideas. Also, make sure that the biographies match WikiTrees Styles and Standards.
If you come across an unresponsive manager, we have a process for those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, please ask!!
Dodie Bartlett, WikiTree Mentor
The site you want for BMD and census info for Scotland is http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
Thank you for joining WikiTree and good luck with your research.

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
See you in the branches --
- Bryan
