Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?
Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
You tagged your research interest in England. I wanted to let you know we have a great project that focuses on the UK here called United Kingdom Project It would be a great place for you to get involved once you have settled into WikiTree.
Thank you for joining WikiTree and good luck with your research.
Looking for some great ways to help out our collective effort? The Volunteers Needed page is the place to go!
Someone will check back with you in a couple of days to see how things are going. Thank you for volunteering and have a great time exploring or adding information to Wikitree!
The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started. WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person. That means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have any research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? If so, when you confirm your email address, youll see a volunteer option on your profile page. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!
