My interests are more in the stories than producing a family tree.
I'm interested in early NZ Passenger ships and their stories. Especially the sailing ships Martha Ridgeway, Olympus, William, Gipsy, Ashmore, Portland and Lady Nugent.
Any early New Zealand history regarding settlement, land wars, members of the NZ Armed Constabulary Force etc.
Also interested in tracing English and Scottish family history.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

We are so pleased you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.
Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.
Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.
Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
