Hi, Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you will run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page or G2G Post. Sandy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi Penelope,

Thanks for your message indicating you wish to research your family history and document this for future generations. I have found WikiTree to be an excellent tool for research and collaboration.

You are now a confirmed member of the WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.

To show you the benefits being a WikiTree member please refer to WikiTree Community Membership.

Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Great to have you on board, good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree.

I would like to get to know the families that I came from. I don't know much about them beyond my grandparent's generation. They have all passed and it would be great to find relatives that can fill in the blanks for me and my children.

Hi Penelope,

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? After you’ve confirmed your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message 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.

Laura, WikiGreeter
