We're striving to grow a FREE Worldwide Family Tree with ONE Collaborative Profile per person so, if you would like to join us, click the volunteer button and leave us a message to that effect.
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. Michelle~ WikiTree Mentor
