I just joined Wikitree and I'm just scratching the surface on how to use it. I searched for one of my relatives (Onile Fruge). I see that you are the manager for his tree. Onile is one of my relatives.

I also see a comment below that you are intersted in Cajun music. My Grandfather, Dorcenus Fruge, played accordian (which I now have) in a Cajun band. His band even played in Washington DC at the Folklife festival. I'm curious about your interest in Cajun music.

You have been helpful to me. I'm new at this so is there something I need to do? Once again thank you so much. Charlotte Babineaux Johnson

I noticed that you were currently following the CEMETERIES tag, but were not yet a member of the Cemeteries Global Cemeteries Project.If you are interested in more details about the project, or are just ready to sign up, please head on over to our G2G Welcome Post for more information.

I look forward to seeing you around the tree!

Steve ~Global Cemeteries Project Leader

We’ve made some exciting changes to the Global Cemeteries Project. The sub-projects have been merged into the Global Project to help with Leadership and to facilitate collaboration.

Some roles within the project have changed. From now on, there are Project Coordinators for each continent, and one for Welcome and Integration, plus Team Leaders for each individual Country etc.

Please let me know if you’d like to stay on in the new project, if you’d like to continue in an existing role, and which team(s) you’d like to be on. Please also give me your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the project’s Google Group.

Many thanks,

Susie

Leader, Global Cemeteries

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

It looks like US Southern Colonies would be a good fit for you. Adding the tag US_SOUTHERN_COLONIES will help you get updates about activity for that project.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

As you have been a member of WikiTree for about a week now I thought I would check in to see how you are getting on with the site.

Has the New Member How-To  been helpful or left you with any questions?

Thank you for volunteering! You are now confirmed as a full member and can start adding your family to the tree. Please start by checking out the New Member How-To page to save you time and frustration.

I hope you come to enjoy WikiTree as much as I have. I have connected with cousins I had no idea existed!

If you have any questions please feel free to ask by clicking my name and leaving me a private or public message.

The initial email from us has helpful links that will 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? Research you’d like to share? Interested in how your family fits into the big tree?

• When you confirm your email address, you’ll see a Volunteer option on your profile page. Click that and leave us a short message about your genealogical interests. A Greeters Project volunteer will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

We’re really glad you’re here.
