In addition to all of the familiar pages and links, you can now find a link to [[Help:Resources and lists|Resources and Lists]], which will be a continually growing category, as well as a link to [[Help:Volunteer to help|Volunteer on the Wiki]].

Don't forget, we have a new [[FamilySearch Wiki:Mentors|Mentoring Program]] designed to help you should you want any additional assistance ! | ||
