Hi, Mark,
Welcome to WikiTree! This is from the Help Index/Membership.
We invite everyone with interest in family history to register and explore WikiTree.
There's no commitment. You can easily delete a Guest account.
Guest benefits and limitations
Guests can:
- Add comments to any profile.
- Participate in G2G, the genealogist-to-genealogist forum.
- Receive private messages without revealing their email address.
- Automatically search for ancestors using a GEDCOM.
- Edit their own profile (but not create or edit profiles for other people).
Guests see the advertisements that enable WikiTree to be free for everyone. (Wiki Genealogists do not see ads.)
How to upgrade
If you want to communicate with cousins or others about genealogy (whether or not you want to collaborate on our single family tree), you can upgrade to the Family Member level at any time by adding your genealogy communication preferences.
Please ask questions and let us know if there is something we can help you find.
Stay safe!
