This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.

You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions!

Thanks, WikiMesssenger Cindy

PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on your ancestor profiles on the bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try sometime!

'n Warm welkom op WikiTree Louise! Ons deel waarskynlik soos baie Suid-Afrikaners ook dieselfde stamvader: Geelis (Andriesz) van der Walt (abt. 1705 - 1757).

WikiTree se doel is om slegs een profiel per persoon te hê. Dit beteken dat daar gekyk moet word of ’n profiel al reeds bestaan, voordat ’n nuwe een geskep mag word. Dit is WikiTree beleid om die vanne (LastNameAtBaptism) presies so te spel soos op dit in die dooprekords staan. Dit is daarom belangrik om te let op die geldende konvensies / gebruike vir ’n land.

In Suid-Afrika, Nederland en elders word die tussenvoegsel in vanne met klein letters gespel, tensy dit anders op die primêre rekords gespel word, byvoorbeeld van der Merwe, van der Walt, van den Berg, du Preez, de Villiers ens. As familievanne met tussenvoegsels in hoofletters aangemaak is, en jy is profile manager, kan Jy dit regmaak deur in “edit” mode die van met klein tussenvoegsels te spel (met as rede aangee dat dit die konvensie is vir Afrikaanse vanne), en dan weer te “save”.

Ons moedig almal aan om die pre-1700 toets af te lê, sodat dit jou in staat sal stel om ook jou voorouers, gebore voor 1700 in kollektiewe samewerking aan die stamboom by te voeg of te help verbeter: Pre-1700 Quiz. Vir enige verdere hulp besoek gerus hierdie forum: G2G Help Ons help graag - moet nooit huiwer om te vra nie!

You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.

There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.

If you have questions just ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

You've been here for several weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know us a little better.

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!

Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy

Welkom op WikiTree! Baie van onsselfde voorouers / stamouers op WikiTree is al aangemaak, soos: Geelis (Andriesz) van der Walt (abt. 1705 - 1757) wees. Jy hoef alleen (nadat jy die Wiki Genealogist Honor Code) onderteken het, jou eie lyn te koppel aan die naaste reeds bestaande nasaat van jou stamvader.

WikiTree se doel is om slegs een profiel per persoon te hê. Dit beteken dat daar gekyk moet word of ’n profiel al reeds bestaan, voordat ’n nuwe een geskep mag word. Vir instruksies hoe om nie duplikate te skep nie: Duplicates.
