Hi Gerry,
I see you are doing some Canadian research. I would recommend the "Trans Canada Trail" program hosted by the Canada Project. They will mentor you and guide you in learning how to develop a profile on Wikitree. Here is a description of the program and what they cover. (you dont have to volunteer with the project, Its free and at your own pace) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Canada_-_Trans_Canada_Trail_Team
For basic profile structure, you can refer to this example profile (you can go into edit mode on this profile and see how the formatting is set up). The editing tips help page can also be helpful for various formatting tips.
You could also refer to the Profile Improvement Project's sample profiles or the Notable Project's example profiles for formatting ideas.
