I am not sure what you mean by "trace someone." You just created your profile as a Guest.  This page explains the levels: Membership information.  To add your family, you can upgrade, and that page tells you what you can do at each level.  As a Guest, you can add your profile only and can leave comments, but you cannot edit or create other profiles.

At the top of this page, you see SURNAME entered.  Click the magnifying glass, and you get a list of all SURNAME profiles on WikITree, and you can sort alphabetically or by birth or death dates to see if family members are already on WikiTree.  You can repeat this for each surname you are researching, or add a first name to see all the profiles on WikITree.

You could download a gedcom from a site or program you have entered your family and upload it to WikiTree for the GEDCOMpare process.  This page lists gedcom links for more information: Gedcom Topics.

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Take care  ~ Sheryl

I'm trying to find my birth dad or any information from that side of the family.

Whether you are adopted or had a DNA test, By adding your branches to our shared tree, there may be an opportunity for someone to find you!

Adoptees: How to Set Up Your Profile is a WikiTree help page specifically designed for new members who indicate they are adoptees. It is also helpful for non-adopted members who have living adoptees in their family tree. The page includes links to more resources, like our Adoption Angels Project, basic search techniques, information on DNA, etc.

Good luck! And if I misinterpreted your mention that you were looking for your birth father, please let me know.
