Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As we always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
Thank you for being a Wikitreer,
Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader
I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Participation in a project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. I see you have several surnames for tags. Have you checked out the One Name Studies project? The current leaders for that are http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lockwood-1016 and http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Andrus-373. They would be happy to get you started. Let me know if you need any help!

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Leaving the Unsourced tag allows fellow members to drop by and add a great source to our ancestors' profiles on our shared global tree. It's a great way to promote collaboration, and shouldn't be taken as a note that there's no source to back up your statement, just that you haven't had time to add it yet.
Let us know what y0u know about your Swedish roots and we can see if we can hep you
