Hi Patrick,

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Hi Patrick! It's great that you're adding to our shared family tree. I'd ask, in cases like https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Benoit-273 that, when you add text to a biography, you also add sources. Primary sources, like birth, marriage and death records, are absolutely critical to what we do. Copying and pasting from another site isn't enough.

I've moved that text to "research notes" because it's probably a good place to begin looking for sources.

Hi, Patrick,

Thank you for signing the Honor Code!

I hope you are enjoying WikiTree as much as I have since I joined.

Don't forget that our G2G forum is a great place to get help when you are stuck for answers.

Hi Patrick. I see you've found the Newfoundland project. It's great if you want to participate, but please clear any changes you make to the project pages in G2G first.

In particular, please don't edit categories. If you change the text in a category, you end up breaking them.

Hi Patrick –

We are happy to have you as a member of WikiTree. I hope you’re enjoying being here.

I'm a member of the Mentor project, and I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Do you have any questions I can help you with?

Hello Again,

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week now so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions?

I want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

PS Have you noticed on your ancestor profiles on bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try! For profiles for living people, just go to this link. RootsSearch
