Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?
Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
You are a full member of WikiTree! Thanks for volunteering.
How to start? Visit How to Use Wikitree for instructions.
WikiTree members are always eager to help a fellow genealogist in our G2G Forum, and you can join in on the conversation with our Question of the Week: What genealogy-related statement would YOU like added to your obituary?
Once settled in, you can check Volunteers Needed page. It lists all the great ways to help out our collective effort.
Adding more TAGS helps you and others researching the same surnames.
Enjoy the experience,
Bill D
Welcome to WikiTree, Jesse! Your initial email from us contains helpful links to get you started. Totally FREE, Wikitree is unlike any genealogy site youve ever used! It's different as our goal is to have one profile per person; that means we all work together in a BIG collaborative team! Once you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer, fill in your tags and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? Most important - have fun growing your family tree and connecting to persons with the same interest. Once you volunteer and one of our Greeters confirms you, youll be on your way! Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.
