How are things going? A couple of tips for you as you add to your tree. If you find a duplicate profile, and complete a merge, all the information from one merge is copied into the new combined profile. Please go in and edit the Biography section remove "duplicate" information.
If you don't have a last or first name, note the related information in the related profile's biography section until additional information is found rather than creating an unknown profile.
If you don't have a date or place of birth, at least try and estimate that information and note that it is an estimate in the Bio section.
And lastly, source as you go, because if you're like me, you won't remember where you found the info.
I am a mentor and here to help so let me know!

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having.
How to use Wikitree is a good place to start. It is a step-by-step-guide to WikiTree basics. The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks.
It is very important that no duplicate profiles are created in WikiTree. Please read this page for clues on avoiding profile duplication.
Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.
Kenneth, it took me a few weeks to figure out the Wiki aspects of it . Here are some videos : WikiTree - Creating and Editing a Profile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuZXI6rGGb8
Thank you, Kenny, for helping to grow our worldwide family tree.
Our Honor Code, G2G message forum, help pages, search features, and many other useful links can be accessed from the menus on the upper right corner of most pages.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The more documents, sources, dates, and locations you provide on the profiles you create, the stronger your branches and our mutual global tree will be. If you don't know the correct date, please estimate using before or after. More tips are on my profile page including links to free research sites. FamilySearch.org has citations you can use as sources on the profiles you create.
Our mission is to build a global tree with just one profile per person, so please try very hard not to add any duplicates to our shared tree.
I am Kenny. I have been building my family tree for just over 3 years now. I have been using Family Echo to map my tree and have over 800 people on it. I hope to move these people here as soon as I can but i'm afraid as I have not sourced where I found a lot of my information even though I know it to be accurate so this is something I will need help to learn. I am here to learn and volounteer where I can :D
To give you an idea on how WikiTree works, we have an introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
If you decide you would like to join our collaborative genealogy community, please read the Honor Code, post a comment here on your profile and we would be glad to add you to our wikitree community.
