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.

I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Let me know.
I can help you figure out if there's a project and introduce you to the project leaders.

Congratulations on your Pre-1700 Self-Certification! Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Or you're interested in a particular time period, location, or topic ? Let me know. I can help you figure out if any Projects fit your interests and introduce you to the Leaders.
Projects are a great way to collaborate on your ancestors' profiles and learn the naming conventions and other standards used for profiles from particular places and time periods.
Have you read Research Before Editing? The Sources Style Guide is also essential reading for working on pre-1700 profiles.
Have fun

P.S. Here's my favorite WikiTree page about sources.
I see you have added your DNA test information.
Our DNA Features page will explain how we use DNA on Wikitree.
We also have a project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening. To check it out, use the Find menu on the top right of your profile page, select Projects from the drop-down menu, and then select the link for the DNA project. It has information listed that might be of interest to you. Feel free to contact any of the members if you would like to join the project or get more information.
Cheers, Liz

Welcome to WikiTree! 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!
