Hi Maggie,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.

Add the project tag to your Following list to be kept up to date on any activity that occurs for that project.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

• Use Free Space Profiles to describe things like events, heirlooms and locations.

• Read about our process for resolving situations with unresponsive profile managers.

If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, feel free to post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for your message indicating you wish to research and expand you family history. Noted you already have found a family member in WikiTree and can provide additional information. I have found WikiTree to be an excellent tool for research and collaboration.

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 Profiles to WikiTree. Once you entered your family members it is exciting to see other people finding your family profiles, asking questions, and expanding it.

To show you the benefits being a WikiTree member please refer to WikiTree Community Membership.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top left, or head over to the G2G forum, or you might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.

Great to have you on board, good luck growing your branches, and thanks for offering to help with our shared tree.

Hi everyone thank-you for the opportunity to contribute and receive information that will help me in my search. I am looking for information re my father’s family (Joseph Edward) Shambrook and his mother’s family originally (Mabel) Richardson from Stalybridge in Lancashire. She was a nurse and came to Sydney Australia sometime between 1910-1915. They lived in Wallangarra NSW/Qld for the period 1915-1936. I am also looking for ancestors on my mother’s side who are Callinan's who lived in the Laidley Qld area. Australia area and Isobel Maud Gordon her mother who married my grandfather Andrew Edward Callinan in 1926 in Qld. I have contacted you Jane Lynch as you are managing a page which provides some details of my mothers parents. I have additional information that will help. Thanks

Hi Margaret,

A warm 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 you’ve ever used and it is FREE. 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!

Here are some other suggestions for you to explore:

1. Our Help pages have all sorts of useful information and feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.

2. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.

3. Explore the Family Tree & Tools tab at the top of your profile.

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

More importantly, have fun growing your family tree and connecting to persons with the same interest.

Ludwig :)
