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
Hi Emily. I notice you're following the tag "Whitten" and noted that your ancestors are from Maine. Mine too. My last known: Richard Whitten (1763 - 1845). I hope you decide to sign the Honor Code and go on to participate. Cheers, Chris
