Hello,

Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper:

Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

Guy ~ WikiTree Mentor

Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?

Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:

For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies

Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hello Frank

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thanks for volunteering.

So many things are frustrating about genealogy, I know what you mean about names, but thats what gets us hooked!

Have fun and ask for help in our G2G Forum if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.

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.

Looking forward to collaborating with you in the future.

Veronica, Wikitree Volunteer, Australia

Hi, I'm Frank. I dabbled in genealogy a tiny bit in high school, but didn't keep it up. Now I've been working on it again for about 8 months and having a blast. My family is fun, sometimes tragic and sometimes mysterious. Some of them change the spelling of their last names like we change underwear. I'd like to shake them sometimes, if they weren't beyond my reach. I hope I can get help and also help other people here. I seem to be developing a style as I go. I tend to try to capture everyone I can in a generation before moving on to the next. I enjoy rooting out mysteries whenever I can.

Hello Francis and Welcome!

The initial email you received from us included some links that will help you get started. Wikitree is a site not like any other genealogy site you’ve used, I’m sure. It 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 any research you’d like to share? When you confirm your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message here on your profile about your genealogical interests. A Volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to our family, we are glad you joined us. Veronica, Australia
