Great Start!!!
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
Not sure what to include in a profile? Check out our Biography Ideas and Styles and Standards help pages. Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
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!

I have been working on my genealogy using the My Heritage website for the past 10 months. I am generating a GEDCOM now. I am willing to upload it to the wiki when I receive it. Surnames in my tree include Stewart, Stark, Nixon, Shipton and English. I have read the honor code and watched the youtube video about WikiTree.
To give you an idea on how WikiTree works, we have an introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
