I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Also noticed you made 1426 contributions to Wikitree, thank you! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!
Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Here is a list of our WikiTree projects you might like to check out: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects
Why don't you also stop by the One Name Studies project, to see if there's already a name study for (surname) going on? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started.
Menno, do you speak Dutch or other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add
{{ Languages | en | nl-3 }}
to the top of your biography if you speak English natively and advanced Dutch, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-1 for basic Russian, and so forth up to ten languages. It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree!
Welkom bij Wikitree, ik denk dat je Nederlander bent, dus misschien vind je het handig(er) om alles over Wikitree in het Nederlands te kunnen vinden ? We hebben voor onze Nederlandstalige leden nu een Nederlands Portaal waar je alles gemakkelijk en met voorbeelden zult kunnen vinden en zo eenvoudig en in je eigen tempo kunt leren hoe alles hier werkt.
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering and sharing.
Have fun and ask for help ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. You can also join in on the conversation about our question of the week: Do you listen to genealogy podcasts?
If you need additional help, our Mentors Project is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to assist you with WikiTree-specific problems.
You may want to edit your TAGS to include dates and locations for each surname per TAG as this will allow you to find others searching for the same surnames.
Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.
WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites
because our goal is to have one profile per person, and
that means we share ancestors and work together as a
BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd
like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits
into the big tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll be given an
opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective
family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us
about your genealogical interests.
When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm
your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family
to the tree!

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.
