Hi!

Just checking in with a few quick tips:

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.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Good morning Kiwi

Nice to have another New Zealander here. You'll find building a N.Z. genealogy an absolute dream, there's so much on-line to work from.

Derek - get ready to be blown-away! Thanks so much for your wonderful email. I just did a search on Wylie (see that little magnifying glass at the top- just click on it and go see all the Wylies) and sorted it by birthdate -the number of profiles from Ireland early 19th century was astounding! There are also 109 Wylie DNA connections on Wikitree! I hope you are able to connect with these profiles to your cherished family history. Cheers - Deborah

I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. That's awesome. Our GEDCOM process is a bit different than what might be used to on other sites. We have some great help pages to make your experience go more smoothly:

• Uploading vs. importing
• What is GEDCompare?
• Before importing a GEDCOM
• After importing a GEDCOM

If you have any questions about your GEDCOM or our process, you can contact our GEDCOM Manager for assistance.

Thanks!

Welcome to Wikitree Derek!

The initial email from us has helpful links that get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site you’ve ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to Volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.

• Once you choose to Volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the Family, we’re really glad you’re here.

Deborah, Greeter (from USA)
