I'm the PM for Leora B. (Kuchera) Ambrose (1894-1941). I noticed that you added the Czech Roots thing, and I just got an error message on it. I stuck it into a "Comment" until you had a chance to look at it.
I am related to the Ambrose family, so I'm not actually related to Leora. If you'd like, I'd happily add you as the PM. Send me an email, and Leora is yours. :)
Respectfully, Claire
Thanks Lela

Welcome to the US Southern Colonies Province of Carolina Team. I am excited to have you join this team. Here is the page where I jotted down goals and tasks if you will check them out. These will change as the project advances. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:US_Southern_Colonies_Province_of_Carolina_Team As we add space pages for Resources for Province of Carolina, we will attach them to this Team page for navigation.
After checking it over, and looking for what interests you most, just message me and I will be checking on you.
Please add a bit about your ancestors beside your name or your self. (I added what Susie forwarded me, but you may want to edit.)
If you have questions, just ask!! Again thanks for joining us for this project and this team.

Can you please remove the Template:And brackets from the Desert Storm/Desert Shield as it is causing an error. If you need assistance with applying a proper template, please let me know!
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there 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 some 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'll 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. Marlene ~ WikiTree Mentor
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
I use WikiTree for all of my research notes and information. It's a great way to post different theories as you are working on them. Others working the same lines can see where you are in your work. Add your limbs!
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.
Mags

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 youve 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 youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, youll 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 youll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.
