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 --

Thanks for your post.

We were all novices at some point. Where do your interests lie? What do you know already? Take a look at Getting Started With Genealogy for some great tips on recording your family history.

WikiTree is a collaborative site for people of all experience levels.

Did you volunteer because you want to start adding your family and contribute to our shared tree? Just leave us another note here on your profile page to tell us about your genealogical interests, and one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership.

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.
