You can see how your profile will be displayed at each privacy level by clicking on the tab for "Profile (public view)".
After choosing your setting, you have several additional options to maintain privacy on WikiTree. You can use "Anonymous," an initial, or a nickname as your preferred name. Alternatively, although not recommended, you could also use "Anonymous" or an initial for your surname.
It's best not to anonymize your surname if you are hoping to get on trusted lists and share family tree info with distant cousins, etc. It's also easier to keep your gender private by anonymizing your first name.
Just to mention that you may want to create a profile in your own surname, since this enables your profile to find its rightful place in our family tree. Our naming conventions can be found at Name Fields.
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 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!
