I am a retired Professional Land Surveyor in New Zealand. Researching old plans, maps and records for work meant genealogy was a natural fit as a hobby. I started researching my family tree after discussions with my wife's Aunt and signed up on Ancestry in 2007. The rest as they say is history. My main areas of research are the UK (Scotland, Yorkshire and Kent) and New Zealand. I am more than willing to connect with kindred genealogists and cousins no matter how distant. My wife thinks I’m nuts but I also quite enjoy finding headstones for people on Find A Grave. I see it as giving back to all the people who do the same for me.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
