Hello,

My name is Guy. I am a WikiTree Mentor and a Leader.

Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. If you are new to Genealogy we have some great tips on getting started, Getting Started with Genealogy.

Then you can connect your family to the greatest global family tree on the planet.

And remember, we have the best team to help you through our marvelous site.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

Hi ,

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.

Guy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Glad you Volunteered!

You are now a member of WikiTree! Please help us build one Collaborative Global Family Tree, which means only one profile per person. It's important that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced- if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

To help you get started, view this introductory WikiTree video.

For a list of Member benefits, see Community Members page.

We also have Mentors who will be glad to answer questions. -Gilly

Hi André,

Thank you for volunteering. Can you please share a little more about your interest in genealogy so that you can be confirmed?

Thanks, Laura

This site is good

Hi, I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to great information about GEDCompare, the process of adding a GEDCOM to WikiTree, that you might find helpful.

If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.

Welcome as a guest to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile per person. If you would like to help us grow our tree through Collaboration, you can do so by volunteering. You only need to click the volunteer button when you are truly interested in genealogy and want to find or add information about your family. Our volunteer “greeters” monitor each web surfer guest entry in an attempt to keep spammers out and they read each statement made by a guest. So when volunteering, please post a statement, short or long, about how you plan to contribute so that you will be confirmed. If all you want to do is add your own family branch, that's okay! Once you are confirmed as a full member, your profile will become a part of our global family tree, so consider that when you make your decision!

To start:

1. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.

2. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

3. Our help pages, menu top right -very useful information.

4. English not your first language? Here is a link to WikiTree Language Volunteers.

Want to Join us? Click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile; include how you can contribute.

Have Fun, Wikitree has been great fun for me!

Marshall, a volunteer greeter.
