Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
I don't know much about my family tree yet.
I've had a look at a few of your contributions and I notice that you're not using the birth, death, marriage and census records as sources that are so useful in 'proving' family relationships. You can register for a free account at Family Search to find many of these records/sources. If you want to pay a bit the European records might be more available at Find My Past, or on Ancestry. Ancestry can also be accessed for free on any public library computer.
Keep on building your tree by adding your grandparents and their parents until you hit the 'one world tree' and then we can see how we're related or connected. Wikitree is all about connection and collaboration. Enjoy!
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. It will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the WikiTree site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link to find answers. Go to the Help drop down menu at the top right of your profile and go down to Forum ("G2G") for the link.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.
