Just wanted to mention that you may want to create a profile in your own surname, since this enables your profile to find its rightful place in our family tree. Our naming conventions can be found at Name Fields.
Don't forget to Head over to the G2G forum. and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House or ask a question in any of the other categories. There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: for that "special" ancestor who is eluding you.
You are now a member of the WikiTree Community! Please remember that we are trying to build one Collaborative Global Family Tree which means only one profile per person. It is important to ensure that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced.
To help you get started, check out an introductory WikiTree video that a member created. For member benefits, see our Community Members page.
We also have a Mentor Team who will be glad to answer questions and help you with any specific problems.
If you are just looking for family or other researchers working on the same names as yours, use the surname search function at the top of the profile page or ask at G2G.
If you would like to enjoy the benefits of being a full member, leave us a message here letting us know that you read the Honor Code.
Once we see a message on your profile stating why you want to be a part of our collaborative genealogical community, one of our greeters will confirm you .

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
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. Marlene ~ WikiTree Mentor
