Hi Karen,

Just wanted to check in with you and see how it's going. You haven't logged on in about a week, so I wanted to make sure all was okay!

Hi Karen, check out Ralph's profile now. I went in and cleaned it up a bit and added inline citations. Inline citations are really important to use! When you are writing your biographies and you have a source, add the source by making sure your cursor is in the right place (next to the place where the citation should go), then click the C button at the top of the biography box. That will auto-format the citation for you! Why don't you give it a try? Let me know how it goes and if you need any help.

Hi Karen,

First things first: what is your #1 place for resources? Whenever we create a new profile or add new information to one, we need to be sure to add a concrete source. Have you had any experience with FamilySearch? That is always a great place to start. Let's try going into your grandparents and great grandparents, to see what kind of sources you can find. Birth certificates, marriage certificates, census records; these are all very good sources! PS, I can't see your family tree so I will send you a trusted list request for the profiles. We can get started once I have a better idea of who I'm looking at!

Hi Karen,

Great! Let's get started!! No worries about taking some extra time to understand things - WikiTree can be confusing, and even MORE confusing to do things the right way! We all have to ask for help sometimes! I'll take a look at your contributions and find a good place to start. :D

Hi Karen,

Just wanted to check in and see if you had gotten a chance to read the Sourcing Style guide I sent to you. Let's work on sourcing your existing profiles before creating any more. I'm here to help, so let me know when you're ready to get started! :D

Hi Karen

Congratulations, you have now been a WikiTree member for one month! Here are some further ideas to help you make the most of our site.

Beyond The Basics of WikiTree is a guide to some more advanced features of WikiTree.

If you would like to help out in other areas, the opportunities can be found at Volunteers Needed.

Hi Karen,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
