Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles!
It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

If you know any living male Mayflower descendants, please ask them to consider taking the Big Y 700 DNA test at FamilyTreeDNA and joining the MayflowerDNA Project. They can automatically share the results and they will link them to a matching lineage. More participants will lead to better results for the entire group. I did mine in November and got the results JAN09. I landed in the Edward Fuller, Samuel, John group. Thanks for considering! Kevin Fuller
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.

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! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors?
I see you have several surnames for tags. Have you checked out the One Name Studies project? The current leaders for that are Doug Lockwood and Alison Andrus. They would be happy to get you started. Let me know if you need any help!

You are now a confirmed member of Wikitree. Thank you for volunteering.
Our G2G Forum is the hub of our communication. Pop in when you have time and introduce yourself or ask a question, we all love to welcome a new member :)
If there is something you are having trouble understanding or you need additional help learning how to use WikiTree, you can always contact a mentor.
Both G2G and mentors are accessible through the Help drop down menu top right of your page. There are also useful tabs at the top of your profile.
Just for fun, come and join in on our Question of the Week: Honoring USA Independence Day - Were any of your ancestors on the "wrong side" in a war?
Happy researching!
Wendy, Wikitree Greeter
A warm welcome to the Wikitree Family. By now you will have received an email with useful links to get you started. Take your time and browse the site to see what Wikitree has to offer.
Wikitree is different, because we have one goal: To have one big Global tree. This means we have one profile per person, and we collaborate as one big team.
When you confirm your email address, you will have the opportunity to volunteer by adding tags to your profile. These should contain what interests you in your genealogy: surnames, locations, etc.
A Greeter will then confirm your membership, and you will be able to start adding your information.
We are all volunteers here and happy to help if you need it.
I look forward to seeing you in the tree :)
Happy researching
Wendy?
