Michel Robillard

We are 8th cousins through our 7th Great Grandfather Pierre Vallee. We have 30 ancestors in common within 15 generations. Claude Robillard-235 is your 7th GGF and my 8th Great Grandfather. Going out 30 generations Henry II Plantagenet-1627 is your 28th Great Grandfather and my 26th GGF. Nice to find a new cousin who also has New France roots. Angela

This week we have your last two stops on the guided tour. We want to give you just a few more tools that can take you even deeper into the WikiTree forest without getting lost:

1. How to Manage Your Watchlist

2. How to Dig a Little Deeper

As always, your questions are welcome!

You're probably getting a good feel for the collaborative nature of WikiTree by now. We know that collaboration isn't always easy. So, 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.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions as that is the only way we gain knowledge!

Thanks, WikiMessenger Cindy

PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on your ancestor profiles on the bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try sometime!

It's time for the next stop on your guided tour.

This week, we'd like to introduce you to the WikiTree community, including ways to get involved, and how to stay updated on new developments: How to Join in the Community.

I'm always happy to answer questions!

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 Make the Most of a Profile.

As always, your questions are welcome!

I'm just checking in to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far? Any questions? Any issues?

Feel free to contact me via my profile page. I am happy to help!

You are now a confirmed member, and you can get started adding your family members.

As we've said, WikiTree is quite different from other genealogy sites. 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.

You can also meet some of our members by joining in the fun with our Question of the Week in the G2G forum: Who are the military heroes in your branch of the tree?

Bienvenue à WikiTree!

Bienvenue à WikiTree! Le premier courriel que vous recevrez a des liens utiles qui vous permettront de démarrer sur WikiTree, qui ne ressemble à aucun site de généalogie que vous avez déjà utilisé.

WikiTree est différent parce que notre objectif est d'avoir un profil par personne, et cela signifie que nous travaillons en collaboration, tous ensemble

Qu'est-ce qui vous amène à WikiTree? Avez-vous des recherches que vous souhaitez partager? Êtes-vous intéressé à la façon dont votre famille s'inscrit dans le grand arbre? Vous verrez une option de bénévoles sur votre page de profil. Un bénévole Greeters projet sera heureux de confirmer votre adhésion, et vous serez prèt à démarrer!

Bienvenue dans la famille! Nous sommes très heureux de vous accueillir.

Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is unlike any genealogy site you’ve ever used.

WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, so we all work together as one collaborative team.

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research you’d like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? When you confirm your email address, you’ll have an opportunity to tell us about your genealogical interests as you join.

Once you volunteer to help build our global tree, our greeters will confirm your membership, and you’ll be on your way!

Welcome to the family! We’re really glad you’re here.
