Hello, Joe!

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

Kind regards,

Pippin Sheppard – WikiTree Greeter

I am offering a free y-Chromosome DNA test to a male direct line descendant of the surname Sproul or any variant living in the UK or Ireland. Please respond to this post for more details.

Hi there! My name is Vicky (Freeth) Majewski and I am a WikiTree Mentor.

This is just a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far? Any questions? Any issues?

Feel free to contact me via my profile page. I am happy to help!

Hi Joe --

You’ve been here about a week, so I’m just checking in. How is it going so far? Were the How-Tos helpful or did they leave you with questions?

We want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.

Hi Joe, Thank you for the note and questions!

Other WikiTree members are not alerted to your tag Sprowl. But when you click your tag Sproul then you will see a page of all those researching the surname Sprowl.

Click here for the GEDCOM and GEDCOMpare Help pages.

Your GEDCOM of 8,000 people would need to be split up as there is a limit as to the number that can be uploaded to Wikitree. I highly recommend uploading a small number at first until you learn your way around WikiTree.

Please click on the link to the New Member How-To Pages in the below confirmation message or here.

Thanks, David ~ WikiTree Greeter, Mentor

Hi Joe,

A warm welcome to WikiTree. You are now a full member and can add your family to the big tree!

Click here to start with our New Member How-To Pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Hope you enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. You never know when you will find a lost family member or ancestor. Or maybe find a hidden family secret about an ancestor. Genealogy to me is like being a detective looking for clues into the past.

Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!

Hi Joe,

I would like to suggest you edit and remove the tag FGC60974, Testing Sproul males for the Sproul SNP FGC60974 as it has no meaning or use here at WikiTree.

When you list a surname, location or historical event in your tags, you can then click them and see a list of other WikiTree genealogists who are also researching those names, locations, etc.

You'll also get notifications in your daily & weekly emails when there is activity relevant to your tags.

Information on Tags can be found at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tags

Have a look at my profile page by clicking my name above to see what tags and tag comments look like.

Thank you, David ~ WikiTree Greeter
