Are you new/newish to WikiTree and encountering some challenges in growing your branches?  These Zoom sessions hosted by Betsy Ko are for you!  The sessions are always recorded so you can watch later at a convenient time.  However, there's nothing like learning in real time and getting to ask your specific questions.  

For those who've joined us in the past, we're moving to a new schedule in 2024.  Starting in January, our sessions will be on the second Thursday and fourth Sunday of each month.  (There may be a few exceptions from time to time.)

Our two sessions in January are scheduled for January 11th and 28th:

You can participate in several ways.  Each month we actively recruit one or two individuals to join each call who are willing to let us look at their profiles and talk about their WikiTree questions.  Ideally, those participating in this way would be:

  • Up and running with creating profiles (even just a few!)
  • Be curious about how things work on WikiTree
  • Be willing to let us make some changes to the profiles they show us
  • Be comfortable talking on camera

Please answer this post if you'd like to volunteer to be a featured guest!

You can also be on the Zoom call and ask any general questions you have or just listen along.

Hope to see you at one or both sessions!

I have been using WikiTree for a little while but am still having issues with adding sources to my tree.  The formatting is challenging and is there an easy way to get this done.

Hi Linda,

I highly recommend the Sourcer browser extension.  You can find out more about it HERE.  With the click of a button, it will create citations from all of the major repositories (Ancestry, FamilySearch, etc.)  These get copied into your computer clipboard and then you can paste the citation into the profile.

If you'd like to look at one or two of your profiles together for a learning example, just send me a private message from my profile page.

We're grateful for your contributions to WikiTree!

Betsy
