Hi Peter, and welcome to WikiTree! You mentioned your ancestors in Ireland and England. I wanted to let you know we have a great new project that focuses on the UK here called United Kingdom Project which links to our Irish Roots Project They would be a great places for you to get involved once you have settled into WikiTree.
You may find some of your ancestors are already on WikiTree and the people in both projects will be happy to help you in any way they can.
Thank you so much for joining WikiTree.
Good luck with your research.
Hi Peter. Thank you for volunteering to help grow our World Wide Family Tree.
You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add any Profiles to WikiTree.
Everything on WikiTree is a collaborative work in progress so dont forget to read and sign our Honor Code. This is what keeps WikiTree a friendly and helpful community. We have many friendly members, feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Hi Peter. Just start with yourself and work back. It is fairly simple. If you have data stored on another site it can be imported as a gedcom. Here's a link that may help.
See How to use WikiTree for how it all works. Check the top right corner under Help and select Help Category
Please drop in to our friendly Genealogist to Genealogist (G2G) forum to introduce yourself to other WikiTreers - you can access the G2G by selecting G2G Profile from your My WikiTree menu at the top right of most pages.
WikiTree can be a bit overwhelming at first, so don't hesitate to post your questions in the G2G.
Good luck with connecting your leaves and branches to our big tree.
I have noticed that I can start with an entry.
My Robinson ancestry as far as I can ascertain dates back from the 1830's in Dublin Ireland and Gloucestershire in England to recently in Australia.
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards .
If you need to describe an event, heirloom or a location relevant to your research, try Free Space Profiles .
If you run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving these unfortunate situations.
A project of note is the Global Family Reunion check it out at Global Family Reunion.
