Hello again!

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. We want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Hi!

There's a fast and easy way to access your WikiTree profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.

Please let me know if you have questions! If you have trouble with the links in this message, try clicking through from the comment on your profile page.

Debra--

You've been here for three weeks now! We hope your profiles are starting to come together and that you've enjoyed getting to know all of us a little better. You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer. As always, your questions are welcome!

Hi Debra,

It's time for your next stop on the guided tour!

This week, we'd like to show you How to Join in the Community. There's no shortage of opportunities to get involved through social media, our forum, and projects.

Be sure to check out the One Name Studies Project to see if anyone has started a project for one of the surnames in your family. Don't see one? Follow the instructions for starting your own!

Please let us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

Hi Debra --

You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.

Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Edit a Profile.

As always, your questions are welcome!

Hi Debra,

Thanks for joining us! I’m David, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.

Did you have fun learning your way around WikiTree yesterday?

I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Do you have any questions I can answer?

David ~ Wiki Mentor

Thanks for volunteering, Debra! As a full member of the WikiTree community, you can now add family profiles. Signing the Honor Code will allow you to work on other profiles, too.

Since WikiTree is different from other sites, we have a guided tour to help members learn their way around. The first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.

I'm happy to answer questions. Tomorrow, another mentor will check by to see if you need help, and we'll post weekly messages after that.

To meet other WikiTreers, check out our G2G forum and this week's Question of the Week: Do you have any inventors in your family tree?

Hi Debra,

Welcome to the WikiTree family!

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person. The Honor Code allows us to work together on one BIG tree.

By now, you should have received an email with links to get you started. When you confirm your email address, you'll have the option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree. Volunteers begin by adding tags for their own profiles; tags allow them to keep up with new information on surnames, locations, concepts, etc.

If you would like to volunteer, a greeter can confirm your membership, and then you'll be on your way!

P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
