I am happy to confirm you as a member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering.
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. Try our Question of the Week. :We've all got one - who's YOUR favorite ancestor and why? Have a look around and see what the help menu can offer.
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
Welcome to WikiTree, Kyle! Your initial email from us contains helpful links to get you started. Totally FREE, Wikitree is unlike any genealogy site youve ever used! It's different as our goal is to have one profile per person; that means we all work together in a BIG collaborative team! Once you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer, fill in your tags and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? Most important - have fun growing your family tree and connecting to persons with the same interest. Once you volunteer and one of our Greeters confirms you, youll be on your way! 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.
