WikiTree Resources / Recursos WikiTree
- Background Images This is the category for a number of Spaces dedicated to background images that you can use on your profiles.
- Editing Tips This page shows basic markup that can be used on WikiTree profiles and Space pages. Please remember not to use tables on individual profiles.
- WikiTree AGC This addon is to clean up gedcom 'clutter' once we've connected to existing profiles. It is awesome at cleaning up the gedcoms and putting the source information together.
- WikiTree BEE This addon is great for a lot of things, but the main help is the 'auto-bio' button that it puts on the profiles. This will give you basic narrative you can add to. There is a WikiTree BEE extension available for Chrome and Firefox users.

Guyana is not strictly speaking a Latin American country, although it is geographically in South America. There is a project to transcribe 19th century colonial newspapers from Guyana that some may find worthwhile: https://vc.id.au/edg/
