Welcome to the WikiTree family! The initial email from us has useful links that will get you started.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as one collaborative team. (It still amazes me to create a profile, include what little I know about an ancestor, then get a message that a new cousin has added details that I never had a clue about!)
When you confirm your email address, you have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree. If you do, you'll be asked to add tags to your profile. (Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.)
A greeter will then confirm your membership, and you'll be on your way!
You are now a confirmed member of WikiTree .
WikiTree members are always happy to offer guidance if you have questions so if you need to ask for help. And our Mentors Project has a very friendly bunch of volunteers happy to help with WikiTree-specific issues. And Please check out our question of the week: We've all got one - who's YOUR favorite ancestor and why?
Have fun and see you in the branches!
Laura, WikiGreeter
