Hi Stephen,

Thanks for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.

It looks like the England Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

PS: I noted you have a EuroArsito project badge. A few months ago they reorganized and most of their profiles were transferred to the England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales projects. The only profiles that they kept are now under the Medieval project. The Medieval project requires a Pre-1500 badge. I saw that you have England ancestors and thought that you may be interested in that project.

Hi –

We are happy to have you as a member of WikiTree. I hope you’re enjoying being here.

I'm a member of the Mentor project, and I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. Do you have any questions I can help you with?

Shirley – WikiMentor

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week now, so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions?

You can contact me by clicking my name above, then sending a private message or posting a public comment on my profile page.

P.S. Sometimes WikiTree links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile page. The links will work from there.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for volunteering! You are now a full member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family. Let me know if you have any questions.

Since WikiTree is different from other genealogy sites, we have a guided tour for new members at New Member How-To. Feel free to work through the How-Tos at your own pace.

Great to have you on board, enjoy, and good luck growing your branches.

Ludwig :)

Stephen, it ay have to do with your status as a guest member with limited editing ability. Consider reading the Wikitree material and joining as a full member, you'll like us we're a bunch of volunteers who are working toward linking separate family trees into one large tree- all free, of course! (You can then post you question on G2G where techies much more knowing than me will answer you.
