Welcome to WikiTree! I am Dave Draper and I am delighted to see you join our community. Here, we are passionate about building a single family tree and discovering our ancestry. I hope you find WikiTree as exciting and rewarding as I have. There is a learning curve so here is a link that might help you get started. WikiTree How To Here is How To Do IT
Please feel free to ask anyone about anything on this G2G forum!
That being said, some pretty neat things will happen as you enter your pedigree into the system. You may find that some your family has already been profiled here by cousins you never knew you had!
Once your pedigree hooks into the "big tree", you will find you are related to many famous people and probably half of the members on this site.
So please keep working on adding your pedigree and if you get stuck, we are here to help.
