'''GenGuidesWiki's Mission'''
----
GenGuidesWiki has been created so you can share your knowledge with everyone and learn from others. <br><br>Think about how many different sources you use as you build your family tree. When you first start looking at a source you may not know much about it. You probably want to know why the record was created, how it is organized, and whether there is an index. Some basic answers may be contained in the resource's introductory text. However, as you use the source again and again you develop tips and tricks that fellow researchers could benefit from as they begin to use a resource. GenGuidesWiki is therefore a place to share your knowledge about the sources you use and learn from the tips shared by other researchers. <br/><br/>
