Hi, I am Dorothy, a WikiTree mentor!! Are you enjoying your time on WikiTree so far?
Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources

Thanks for completing the tag indicating you wish to research/document your family history. You are now a confirmed WikiTree member! Visit our WikiTree Community Membership page to see all the member benefits.
Have fun and ask for help if you need it! WikiTree members are always eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist.
Our Mentor Team is a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you with specific problems if you have any.
Once you are settled down consider joining one of these Volunteer Groups.
Great to have you on board and good luck growing your branches.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, which means that all members work together as a single collaborative team. The Honor Code helps keep everything functioning smoothly as we work on one BIG tree.
The initial email from us has links you can use to get started. When you confirm your email address, you'll have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree, beginning with tags for your own profile. Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.
If you decide to volunteer, a greeter will confirm your membership, and you'll be able to add new profiles to the tree.
