Hi, I was born in Namibia, the daughter of a German father with also Danish ancestors and an Afrikaans mother with French, Dutch and English ancestors. Today I live in New Zealand and since I am retired, I now at last have the time to really get stuck in and work on all the letters, documents, photos and other leads I have been gathering for the past 20 years or so. The end result is hopefully going to be a book for my grandchildren so they will always remember where we come from. I have not loaded my tree onto Wiki yet, it currently lives on Ancestry, but I will endeavor to do so soon.
As you have been a member of WikiTree for a few weeks now, I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.
Has the New Member How-To been helpful, or left you with any questions?
Please also review the information on Sources. We have a research tool that will make finding sources easier, I use it all the time. To give it a try, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research, scroll down near the bottom of that list, and select Research with RootsSearch (use your WikiTree email & password). There are over 20 websites to access from there. You can read more about the tool in the RootSearch FAQ.
