Hi,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here 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 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 will 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.

Hi, I've always been interested in my heritage and have found threads here and there over the years, now I'd like to try put them together, have them shared to help fill in gaps and find some more! Also to have my family tree kept for my descendants to access will be fantastic and to maybe find a whole new 'family' out there.
