Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper:
Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.
We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.
As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!
The follow up page to the one I referenced in my email says you've been added. If you still aren't then we'll have to check with a moderator to see why it's not working.
I have been working on my paternal and maternal genealogy for five years and I would love to contribute my findings to wikitree. I appreciate the freedom to collaborate with like-minded contributors in a respectful and honest environment.
2. Our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.

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.

If you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.
