I started the family research in 1993 trying to find out where the middle name of "Talgai" originated from. Four of Mum's brothers were given this name as was her father, one uncle, one aunt and her grandfather. Turned out to be the name of the property near Warwick, Qld, where her Grandfather, Charles Talgai Morgan was born in 1850. The family tree just seemed to take a life of its own after that. The Morgan line came to a brick wall in 1816 when James Morgan was born in Ireland. Irish records are hard to come by. So it was over to my Wellington line and it keeps going on and on.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.
Kind regards,
Pippin Sheppard – WikiTree Greeter
This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful?
Please do let me know if you have any questions about how WikiTree works, no matter how small. My rule of thumb when I started was to search for an answer for five minutes, then reach out to my Greeters, and then resume searching. I might have found the answer before they got back with me but they sometimes offered a different way of doing the same thing which was easier.
You can reach me by using the reply link for this comment or send a private message from my profile by clicking my name. See you in the branches,

P.S. Did you discover that the tags on your profile are clickable links to a page of other people who have that tag? They also control the information which is included in the activity reports which you receive from WikiTree. You can add more, up to 20 total, or delete some if you are receiving irrelevant information.
I am pleased to confirm you as a member and welcome you to the WikiTree family. Your contributions will go a long way to joining the world’s trees together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Please add as much information as you can, with sources, as it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Have fun collaborating on your Wellington ancestors

P.S. If links do not work in an email from WikiTree, try them from the comment section on your profile page.
Start with the pages https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:New_Member_How-To - they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around:
Let me know if you require assistance. I am happy to help. After adding my own family and ancestors I have found many cousins and distant ancestors here on WikiTree.
Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.
