I just wanted to give you a few suggestions to get the most out of your TAGS :-)
It's best to enter a value that is going to be recognized across the website. So, if you put in the TAG a surname like SMITH or JONES then when you click on it, you'll find some helpful information as well as other genealogists who are also researching that surname.You can also enter locations like ONTARIO or MAINE and add info like childhood home, etc.
When you're following a tag, you're alerted to any new activity through your Daily Feed email. Following a tag doesn't commit you to actively participate in a project or to helping others in any specific way. However, people may reach out to you to collaborate with them when you share the same tags!

Welcome to WikiTree! Were really glad youre here.
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 one 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 have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way.
Welcome to the family!
Carole
P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
