Elisabeth (Hellenga) Knaack

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions!

Thanks, WikiMesssenger Cindy

Elisabeth --

You may have been hard at work adding family members and getting connected to those that are already here.

You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now. So, this week we're going to look at how to work with your Watchlist: How to Manage Your Watchlist.

As always, your questions are welcome!

You've been here for several weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!

Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy

Elisabeth--

Hi Elisabeth–

I'm a member of the Mentor project, and I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Do you have any questions I can help you with?

Shirley

Elisabeth Judith,

You are now a confirmed member and can get started adding your family members. As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. For that reason we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use the site. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.

Tomorrow you'll hear from a WikiTree mentor, who will check in to see how you're doing and to answer any questions you might have.

Next week you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.

You can meet some of our members by joining in on our Question of the Week: "How do you use census data?"

Welcome!

Karen

Hi Elizabeth,

Welcome to the WikiTree family!

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person. The Honor Code allows us to work together on one BIG tree.

By now, you should have received an email with links to get you started. When you confirm your email address, you'll have the option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree. Volunteers begin by adding tags for their own profiles; tags allow them to keep up with new information on surnames, locations, concepts, etc.

If you would like to volunteer, a greeter can confirm your membership, and then you'll be on your way!

Carole

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