Hi Jewel,

Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention those profiles need.

I noticed that, like me, you had adopted some of the profiles that Larry Hayer imported (mine were Helms and Hinson surnames). There is a YouTube video about how to clean up GEDCOM profiles.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Hi Jewell. I have some Jones dna matches for you. I was checking your tree on familytreedna.com and we are matches. Your Jones connection differs there from here. If I can be of any help, let me know! Glad to help, Margaret

I WILL BE OFFLINE FOR A FEW DAYS HAVE TO SWICTH INTERNET COMPAINES AGIAN HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING GOOD INTERNET WHERE I LIVE. DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE OFF OR FOR HOW LONG BUT I AM NOT A LEAVING . WILL STILL BE DOING RESEARCH.

Hi Jewel, I came across a birth record for one of your profiles and added it, hope that is OK with you. You might take a look at http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Research_Before_Editing If you need help finding sources, just let me know.

Hi Jewel,

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.

Hi Jewel,

I see that you just volunteered and signed our honor code. That's great! Here at WikiTree we like to have our members involved with others; collaboration is key!

I see from your tags that you are interested in adoption and several surnames. A couple of projects you might be interested in are the Adoption Angels Project and the One Name Studies project.

Let me know if you need help with anything. We are glad to have you on board!

Hi Jewel

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!

Are you, like myself, interested in how your family fits into the big tree? Do you have research you’d like to share? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to volunteer (To add your OWN family information), then one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

When site is busy please be patient waiting for Greeter

NOTE- adding Info is limited until you Volunteer and become a FULL member.

Welcome to the family! Glad you joined.
