Thanks for signing the Honor Code, William, I hope you discover as much about your family as I have about mine over the last several years.
You might be interested in some of the tips and tricks that we have included in the New Member How To Page that we share with new members these days. They were created long after you became a member so you never received them.
If you have questions about how WikiTree works, let me know and I will find answers. Just click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
Karen ~ WikiGreeter
P.S. If links do not work in an email from WikiTree, try them from the comment section on your profile page.
You may want to use your own surname in the Last Name at Birth field. This will ensure that your profile is listed on the correct surname page with other members and ancestors who also have that surname. Our naming conventions can be found at Name Fields.
If you are concerned about Privacy, click the Privacy tab on your profile or visit our Privacy help page to read about how the different settings work.
You also should correct you date of birth, by your date of 1830's you could not possibly be here !
The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? You will soon get an email from us that will have some great links to get you started on WikiTree. When you confirm your email address, youll have an option to volunteer to add new information to WikiTree. At that time you may also be asked to add tags to your profile. (Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.)
.Once you volunteer, myself or another one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way! Feel free to contact me anytime.
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.

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.
