Unable to enter info on my tree.

Question

As a new member, Bates 17362, I tried to start entering info on my tree. I started with my father but the site told me that I was not allowed because I was not a trusted member of Bates 10891?

Answer 1

Ed, please go back and read the comments on your profile page left by our Greeters. There is one link there about "how to use WikiTree". Also, you might want to go to your profile page or your navigation page and click on the Honor Code button. Read about it and agree to it to become a full member. Then you can add your family members. I do want to say that I cannot find a Bates-10891 so you might want to check that ID number again.

I hope this helps. Please ask if you have more questions.
