Stan, I am unable to confirm your full membership on Wikitree until you edit your TAGS and their comment. It's best to enter a value that is going to be recognized across the website. If you make the TAG a single surname like ( Hetrick ), and comment family surname, then when you click on it, you'll find some helpful information as well as other genealogists also researching that surname. You can also enter locations like ONTARIO and add info like childhood home, etc. When you're following a tag, you're alerted to any new activity through your Daily Feed email. Following a tag doesn't commit you to actively participate in a project or to helping others in any specific way. However, people may reach out to you to collaborate with them when you share the same tags!
Wikitree is one BIG world-wide family tree that is freely accessible to everyone. Our goal is to have one profile per person which means we all work together as a BIG friendly and polite collaborative team!
If you are interested in sharing your research and want to collaborate to add your family, please fill out the TAGS on your profile page and click SAVE TAG(s) AND VOLUNTEER.
Your Tags can include names like JOHNSON (a surname) or NEW_ZEALAND (a location) and a comment explaining why this subject interests you.
Once you choose to Volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you'll be on your way!
Welcome to the Family!
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there 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 some 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'll 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.
