Hello, WikiTreers!

As many of you know, we have a group of members on WikiTree who volunteer to help other members learn how to clear the hurdles they might stumble on.

Mentors are just ordinary members who have spent some extra time learning the ins and outs of using WikiTree. They're also good at collaborating with other members and finding information in help pages, along with many other aspects of WikiTree that can be hard to master.

They’re an important and unique resource for our community. We are fortunate among genealogy sites to have a generous group of people like the Mentors, and the more we have, the better WikiTree can be.

If you find yourself helping other members and feel comfortable showing others around the site, maybe you would make a good Mentor!! If you’re interested in learning more, just leave an answer to this post to let us know. One of us will be in touch!!

I became a Mentor earlier this year. It has been a rewarding experience helping our fellow members to resolve issues and to answer their questions.

If you enjoy helping others, this is the project for you.
Thanks for sharing, Stuart!! Your help is greatly appreciated!

I feel I could be a help here if you still need volunteers. I am helping others already when sourcing Unsourced Profiles so feel I could contribute in a positive way.

I would love to be considered as a mentor. I have researched my own family for 10 years now. While I am no where near an expert, I do have experience looking at different data. I also have a pretty big portfolio of conflict resolution having been the owner of a small business in retail. My experience in communication conflict gives me the ablity to difuse and find common ground with many different groups. Being now retired from my caareer I would be honored to spend those extra moments working with others on Wikitree. Thank you for all you do on Wikitree. It is a site that is my main go to.
