I live in New Zealand, and my paternal grandfather's family (the Amon side) came here several generations ago. On my mother's side, the Jack family (Mum's mother's family) have also been here for a few generations...
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
I'm just trying to orient myself at the moment. I have found a few old marriage certificates, and also birth and death certificates - I'd like to share these with people who are related, without necessarily making them available to the whole world :-) is there a setting to do that just for the sources of information that I'm quoting?
Also, is there an easy way to limit my searches just to people who have lived somewhere specific? I'm mostly interested in New Zealand at the moment...
