I was born the eldest of my siblings. My parents homeschooled me all the way through high school. When I was young, history wasn't necessarily one of my favorite subjects (I was, and still am, a bit of a science geek). I didn't care about the dates and the wars and the philosophies; I just wanted to know more about how people really lived back then.
I can remember hand drawing family trees on large sheets of paper as a child, quizzing my parents (especially my Dad) about their relatives. I began my family history hobby in earnest many years later. Not only is it a fascinating treasure hunt for me, but it's also a great way for my husband and I to teach our kids about history in a way that will interest them.
- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.
-You are already in the GoogleGroups email listserv, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.
-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.
-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.
Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project
I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the Germany Project and have yet to hear back from you. I hope you are well.
If I dont hear from you in the next week or so Ill assume you no longer wish to be in the project and go ahead and remove you. You would, of course, be most welcome to rejoin at any time via the G2G sign-up post.
Best wishes,
Kylie :-)
On behalf of the Germany Project, I am currently undergoing our member check-in's and wanted to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. Are you currently assigned to or working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? We have many new teams so have a look on the Germany project page for the full list. I would be delighted to help you get setup in one or more of our collaborative teams!
We use Google groups for project collaboration, so if you are not yet setup, please submit a join request and we will get that approved as quickly as possible. We also ask that you check your follwed tags to make sure you are following the correct project tag (GERMANY) so you don't miss any disucssions in G2G.
We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions please ask. I would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project!
Please respond by private message. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate Rumanian and basic Hebrew, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-2 for intermediate Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.
It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If there is a language you speak that is missing from our categories, I would be happy to add it. If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:

Thank you for joining our ONS project. The FAQ section on the project page should answer most of your questions.

Let me know, and I can help you figure out if there's a project that might interest you. Welcome aboard, we are glad to have you!
You have made the chart! :-D

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
Do you record pets in the family history? (Informally, not in the charts)
Have fun getting to know your ancestors, and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members love to help fellow genealogists.
You can also join the conversation about the Question of the Week: Do you ever go back over a family to double check and look for new sources?
If you need some one-on-one help, dont hesitate to contact our Mentors Project. Our volunteer mentors will be glad to help you learn how to use WikiTree.
See you in the branches --

Welcome to the WikiTree family!
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, which means that all members work together as a single collaborative team. The Honor Code helps keep everything functioning smoothly as we work on one BIG tree.
The initial email from us has links you can use to get started. When you confirm your email address, you'll have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree, beginning with tags for your own profile. Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.
If you decide to volunteer, a greeter will confirm your membership, and you'll be able to add new profiles to the tree.

P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
