Welcome

Welcome to the WeRelate virtual genealogical community. Here we can learn from each other, work together and find what we need to make our research easier, more rewarding and fun.

You can create a free profile, Shared research pages and Personal research pages. Shared research pages are the next generation in message boards: they can be organized and edited. When you create a Shared research page title on your home page, the link will appear in red. Click on the red link, enter a message and save. (Creating a title for the page is not enough, your cousins can only search for pages with content.) Personal research pages are password protected wiki pages: visible to the community but editable only by you.

Person and Family pages are up and running. Take 10 minutes to see video tutorial/tour for people pages. You can view sample person and family pages (all you do is fill in the blanks), annotated pictures, and pedigrees with color coded migration maps. Check out a sneak preview of our new Family Tree Explorer, With this tool you can easily navigate and add pages to your famliy tree, view descendancy trees and ancestral trees for each person and view a sortable index of your tree.

If you are new to Wiki's, you may wish to check our many help and tutorial pages. Or, you can select edit on any page to see how the formatting commands are used. (You could click edit at the top of this page, for example.) You may also be interested in Recent Changes. Here you will see a list of all recent edits. Please help by deleting any spam or inappropriate material.

We are adding new features and material, frequently. Your comments would be greatly appreciated at the Watercooler. If you have any questions, please email me. Again thank you for participation. Enjoy! --sq

Image Galleries on Place Pages [9 March 2015]

Hello ACPL - I noticed that you have been adding Images recently to WeRelate and first of all, I would like to say thank you for your contributions. I am a fellow Indiana researcher, and I think that Images add a lot to these pages, so please do continue. I think that I may be able to help make your process a little easier to save you some time and to make your Images easier to find for future researchers. I noticed that you are creating Image Galleries on the Place Pages for things like graduation invitations, lists, etc. for specific schools. Is your goal to group the Images together by location (i.e. town) and would you like some help? --Cos1776 16:14, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Old maps on Ayrshire pages [4 June 2015]

Hi

I notice you have added two old maps to the Image Gallery on the Ayrshire page. Is it possible for you to give the source for these maps, particularly the date at which they were produced? Even if they have gone out of copyright, this would be of interest to other users. Second. The usual spelling of the region of Ayrshire in the maps is Cunninghame. Where did your unusual spelling come from?
