This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions! If the above link does not work from your email, please go to your profile in the public comments and it will work from there.
You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.
There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.
You've been here for several weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.
You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
Dont hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on your ancestor profiles on the bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try sometime!
This week, we'd like to show you How to Join in the Community. There's no shortage of opportunities to get involved through social media, our forum, and projects.
Be sure to check out the One Name Studies Project to see if anyone has started a project for one of the surnames in your family. Don't see one? Follow the instructions for starting your own!
You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.
Welcome to this wonderful site !
I'm a member of the Mentor project, and I just wanted to check in and see how things are going.
Hope you had lots of fun reading "How to Start Climbing Our Tree".
I would be happy to answer any relevant questions you have, please feel free to ask!
I was looking at your tag, and I'd like to suggest that you change the tag description for SCHAEFER, so that it shows clearly your genealogical interest. For example, you may use the description I am interested to collaborate with anyone interested in the Schaefer surname. By doing that, you can then click on it and any other surname tags you add and you'll be taken to a page where you'll see other genealogists who are also following those surnames and locations.
Furthermore, any activity associated with those surname tags will be reported in your daily activity list.
You dont have to volunteer to become a full WikiTree member. As a guest you can search the WikiTress data base and ask a question in the G2G forum.
Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.
WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites
because our goal is to have one profile per person, and
that means we share ancestors and 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?
When you confirm your email address, youll be given an
opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective
family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us
about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm
your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family
to the tree!

Thanks for completing the tags indicating you wish to research/document your family history. You are now a confirmed WikiTree member!
We've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.
Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.
Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.
To know our community use the G2G forum and join the fun with our Question of the Week:
What traditions does your family observe for Fathers Day?
Great to have you on board and good luck growing your branches.
