Hi Catherine, Thanks for starting the Edward Fitzgerald family! I've just added the Talbot Settlers category to Frederick Fitzgerald's profile. Once you're up to speed and if you're interested in joining, we've started a Talbot Settlers sub-project here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Talbot_Settlers

Let me know if you have any questions. Laurie

Hi, Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you will run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page. Sandy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi Catherine,

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in?

Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Let me know.

I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders.

Hi I am hoping to find other genealogists who are working on similar family lines and perhaps break through some genealogical walls together.

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering!

Definitely take a look at some of our projects relating to Mayflower and similar time periods.

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 – Laura, WikiGreeter

Hi Catana!

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 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.
