In honor of Family History month, WikiTree is holding a Source -A-Thon on 1-3 October 2016 to provide sources for the many unsourced profiles on WikiTree. We have already signed up over 325 members.

The benefits? You can win one of over $3,000 in door prizes, but the best part is that we all work together here and try to provide sources on those unsourced profiles.

Hope you join us. Visit Source-a-Thon to get your Source-a-Thon number & badge. You are invited also to join Team Missouri, which includes Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Iowa, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska.

Every little bit helps. Thanks so much.

Hi April,

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.

Hello April!

You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree! Thank you for volunteering to add your precious family history.

Wow!!! You're the 982nd Daly profile on Wikitree! I'm sure your 'cousins' already here will benefit from your insightful collaboration, sourced research and first-hand knowledge.

Have fun and ask for help 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.

See you in the branches --

Welcome to Wikitree April!

The initial email from us has helpful links that 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? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to Volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.

• Once you choose to Volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the Family, we’re really glad you’re here.

Deborah, Greeter (from USA)
