I am the only child of Joseph A. and Betty Jo Scott. I was never told anything about my father except that he died in Walla Walla state prison, which I have since found to be a mistake. He was paroled in 1960 and died in 1971. Since getting some information from the Washington State Archives, I have a need to know more about his family.
I married my soulmate in 2008 and have been very happy ever since. We have no children of our own, however my wife has a daughter from her first marriage. With that we have four grandchildren, two girls and two boys.

Can you please put me on the trusted list for the Omans? Edward? His parents are my great grandparents. Thank you! Karla Oman Greer
Thank you Phillip and Ina
I merged 3 profiles you created yesterday and have about 5-6 more to merge this morning. How can I help you in searching for existing profiles. You have a few options to locate existing profiles. Don't create a duplicate. WikiTree is all about collaboration. We are creating a single family tree with one profile for every person. Duplicate profiles defeat the purpose of WikiTree. Please read search at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Search , If there is anything I can do to assist you please let me know.
Again thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
My sons are calkins on Rowland Calkins side 1500 England. Feel free to check out my tree. Look of Gene Calkins then look at my tree. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Let me know, and I can help you figure out if there's a project that might interest you. Welcome aboard, we are glad to have you! Lee - Volunteer Coordinator
We're so glad you're here. A few further resources:
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.
If you havent found us already, WikiTree is active on many Social Sites. We also have a blog with news of WikiTree events and further ideas from WikiTree members.
If you have any questions, please ask! I am happy to help!

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
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
As you add family profiles, you can use the green tabs near the top of each profile to find out what info will be visible to others - just toggle between private and public views.
If you need help, ask a question in our G2G forum: http://www.wikitree.com/g2g. Most WikiTree members are eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. If you need additional help using WikiTree, our Mentors Project is a great group of volunteers who will be glad to assist you.

Welcome to the WikiTree family! The initial email from us has useful links that will get you started.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as one collaborative team. (It still amazes me to create a profile, include what little I know about an ancestor, then get a message that a new cousin has added details that I never had a clue about!)
When you confirm your email address, you have an option to volunteer to add information to WikiTree. If you do, you'll be asked to add tags to your profile. (Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.)
A greeter will then confirm your membership, and you'll be on your way!
Carole
P.S. I'm always happy to answer questions.
