Awarded by SJ Baty who wrote: I cannot think of a recipient who is more deserving. Over the last 12 years I have a treasure trove of about 3,000 emails full of genealogical information from Harvey about our shared family including photos, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, land records, grave photos... the list is never ending. It will take me at least a decade to upload all of the data you have shared with me. I will forever be indebted; our family will be forever indebted to you.

Hi Harvey–

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

Hello Again Harvey,

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?

I want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

Cindy ~ WikiMessenger

PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on ancestor profiles on bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try!

Welcome Harvey!

You are now a full member and can add your family to the big tree! Start with our New Member How-To pages. They will save you time, energy and frustration as you add your family profiles.

We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree community. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help!

p.s. 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.

Hello Harvey,

Welcome to WikiTree! The email we just sent has helpful links to get you started.

WikiTree is different than other genealogy websites because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we share ancestors and work together as a BIG collaborative team!

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?

When you confirm your email address, you’ll be given an opportunity to volunteer to help document our collective family history. Use the Tags and comments to tell us about your genealogical interests.

When you volunteer, one of our Greeters will confirm your membership. Then you'll be able to add your family to the tree!

We're really glad you're here!

Gilly - Greeeter
