Hi Stephen,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful (links work from your profile page):

• Find recommended profile formats and tips on writing biographies.

• Use Free Space Profiles to describe things like events, heirlooms and locations.

• Read about our process for resolving situations with unresponsive profile managers.

If you have questions or problems with WikiTree, feel free to post a comment on my profile page or send me a private message.

You are now a member of the WikiTree Community. Please note we are trying to build one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to ensure no duplicates are entered as you add Profiles to WikiTree - if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

If you need any help getting started check out the help section from the menu, top right, or head over to the G2G forum and take a minute to introduce yourself in the Tree House. You might also want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.

We also have Mentors to help too.

Hello, this looks like a good way to get our family tree on record (and grow the shared tree). I agree with the mission and will abide by the rules. Thanks!

Hello & Welcome, to WikiTree! We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE collaborative profile per person.

"Sources are critically important for genealogy. Some even say that genealogy without sources is mythology. Even if you're just a casual family historian recording modern family history, you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from." Feel free to ask questions at our G2G forum. Also, our help pages menu, top right, has some very useful information. Our Honor Code is why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree, so please take some time to read it. Want to join us? Check the volunteer box and leave a brief comment about your genealogical journey. Happy researching!
