Hi Corbett,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful (links work from your profile page):

• Find recommended profile formats and tips on writing biographies.

• Use Free Space Profiles to describe things like events, heirlooms and locations.

• Read about our process for resolving situations with unresponsive profile managers.

If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, feel free to post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

Marlene, WikiTree Mentor

Hi again Corbett,

You clicked on the volunteer button indicating that you would like to collaborate and add information. If that’s correct please post another comment, here on your profile, including a statement about how you want to contribute and one of WikiTree's Greeters will be happy to add you as a member of WikiTree.

If you are just looking for family or other researchers working on the same names as yours, use the surname search function at the top of the profile page. You are welcome to do this as a guest.

Happy Hunting,

Jess

Hello Corbett,

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 see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message here on your profile about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer 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.
