Hi Nan, Thank you! I am excited to get started. Sheryl Moore is helping me and we are doing a google meeting tomorrow so she can train me. LOL. I am relatively new to genealogy and really new to WikiTree but I love the collaborative effort. My Dad was raised in Dunbar and I grew up in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Fayette County. A lot of my Ancestors are from that area and I thought working on this project would give me some good training on how to maneuver around WikiTree.

Hello!

Thank you for joining us! I wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. How do you like WikiTree so far? Have the tips in the New Member How To Pages been helpful or have they left you with questions?

Please let me know if you have any questions about WikiTree. To contact me, log in to WikiTree and go to your profile. Use the ‘Reply’ link below my comment to be sure that I will be notified. You can also click my name to send a private message, or post a comment on my profile page. It's really is great to have you on board.

Cheryl ~ WikiTree Messenger

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.

Hi Cheryl, thank you for reaching out. I asked this question of someone else who reached out and did not get an answer. Maybe you can answer - I have a question about connections. I have added several people to my tree and some are connected and some are not. If they are all connected to me or each other (by marriage or as a child) wouldn't they all be connected? I hesitate to add any more people until I understand how connections work and what is defined as a connection. I have not added any sources to any of them because as my parents and grandparents I knew them so I used first hand knowledge as a source at this time until I can migrate over some sources.

Thank you, Laura Martin

Hi Laura,

Please check your email for an answer to your question.

Have a great day.

Cheryl - WikiTree Greeter

Thank you! Are you referring to the WikiTree Family News email that shows featured connections? Also, I am playing around on WikiTree now and it shows there are no connection between me and my 2nd Great Grandfather. did I enter something wrong?

Thanks,

Laura

Thank you Greta. I have only been doing genealogy for about 2 years but my 94 year old Dad gave me his files which is what caused my addiction!!! I was excited also to see that there is a Source athon coming up soon so I want to read more about that. I would like to enter information about my family to hopefully connect with others and to also help others who may be looking for our common ancestors.

I look forward to making a meaningful contribution. Laura

Take care

We are so glad to have you here! I want to thank you for becoming a Family Member of WikiTree, and welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

I would suggest starting with the Member How-to pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site

Happy tree climbing
