Thanks, Thomas. You are now a member of the WikiTree community. Welcome!

Options for getting started:

• Watch the introductory WikiTree video
• Learn how to add info
• If you will be adding pre-1700's ancestors, please read about Pre-1700 profiles

Key Concepts:

1. Sourcing makes the difference between genealogy and mythology.

2. In order to build one collaborative tree, each person must have only ONE profile.

Let me or another Mentor Team member know if you have questions.
