Biography
I've been on WikiTree since 2014, but only active since 2021. My primary research interest for the past several years has been the descendants of Capt. Joseph Twitchell (1719-1792) and Deborah Fairbanks (1719-1775) of Sherborn, MA. I intend to create profiles for all of their great-great-grandchildren that my research leads to.
My great-grandfather was adopted. I have come to the conclusion, through DNA matches of his daughter, that his father was Sidney S. Twitchell of Milan, New Hampshire, a lumberman, farmer and businessman, and son of Cassius M. C. Twitchell, a lumberman, businessman and state senator. My research has been primarily focused on their (my) ancestors.

Congratulations on certifying to work on Pre-1700 profiles! It is very important to read and understand https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines laid out on that page.

This week we have your last stop on the guided tour. Hopefully, you're feeling like a WikiTree pro! If not, you can always revisit the tour stops via the comment boxes on the right side of your profile.
You've covered a lot of ground the past few weeks. Today, we want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost: How to Dig a Little Deeper.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions! If the above link does not work from your email, please go to your profile in the public comments and it will work from there.
Thanks, WikiMesssenger Cindy
You may have been hard at work getting connected to family members who are already here and adding those who were missing. You probably have at least a few profiles that you manage now.
There's a fast and easy way to access those profiles using the Watchlist. So, this week we're going to look at How to Manage Your Watchlist.
Questions! Just ask me. We want to help!
Mary, Wiki Messenger
You have been a WikiTreer for several weeks now!
You are probably getting a feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree. Since collaboration isn't always easy, we've put together a few pointers that can make working in this type of environment a little easier: How to be a Successful WikiTreer.
By the way, if you haven't signed the Honor Code yet, please stop by to check it out. It's the core of how WikiTree works, and members have more editing privileges after signing it.
I'm always happy to answer questions!
Carole
It's time for your next stop on the guided tour!
This week, we'd like to show you How to Join in the Community. There's no shortage of opportunities to get involved through social media, our forum, and projects.
I noticed that you're following several surname tags. Check out our One Name Studies Project to see if any have a project you can join.
You might also be interested in the Ireland Project.
Please let us know if you have questions! Just click my name above the comment, then ask in the comment section of my page. We want to help!

You've been here a week now, and we hope you enjoyed your first stop on your guided tour of WikiTree and were able to make good use of the things you learned.
Our next stop will give you some pointers on how to make your profiles stand out: How to Edit a Profile.
As always, your questions are welcome!
Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy
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
Thanks for completing the tags indicating you wish to research/document your family history. You are now a confirmed WikiTree member!
So, we've put together a guided tour to help you learn how to use it. Your first stop is How to Start Climbing Our Tree.
Tomorrow, you'll hear from a Mentor who will check in to see how you're doing and answer any questions you might have.
Next week, you'll get another message with your next stop on the guided tour.
To know our community use the G2G forum and join the fun with our Question of the Week:
Do you have any heroic volunteers in your branch?
Great to have you on board and good luck growing your branches.

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 youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree?
When you confirm your email address, youll 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!
Were really glad youre here.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
We're growing a FREE worldwide family tree, striving for ONE profile per ancestor added.
To start:
1. Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree so please take some time to read it.
2. Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum.
3. Our help pages, menu top right -contains very useful information.
If you want to add your own research, you will need to click the volunteer button and leave a comment here on your profile - include how you can contribute. One of our volunteers will then add you as a member.
Have Fun!
