Welcome

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor webpages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.

Create Webpages

The first thing to do is launch Family Tree Explorer, then select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and give your family tree a name. You can either upload your GEDCOM or create person and family pages one at a time. To upload your GEDCOM, select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and then click on Import and choose the GEDCOM file to import. The system will create a editable web page for each person and family in your GEDCOM. To create a page manually, select Add in the Family Tree Explorer menu and click on Add new person; enter the given (first name) and surname (last name), select Add, then fill in the blanks and save.

The Family Tree Explorer is a Flash application and will need to use some space in your computer to cache the files. That's computer talk for "If you store some ancestor page information on your computer, you will be able to view more pages faster. Otherwise, the system has to fetch each page every time you edit or look at it. This would make navigating your tree very slow.

Connect with other genealogists

You should always sign in when you are editing or adding pages. Use the signature button to sign your work (the swiggle, second from the right, above the edit box). That way others with similar interests can find you. If you click on the blue user name on any page, you will go to that person's home page. You can leave a message on his/her Discussion page. The Discussion page button is in the light green second level menu bar above.

mar282007.ged is being held for review

The pages from "mar282007.ged" have not yet been generated because they appear to match pages from a GEDCOM you have previously imported to WeRelate. Please be patient while we take a look at your GEDCOM. If it turns out that the people in Overlap.ged are different from people you have imported previously, your pages will be generated right after the review, which should happen tomorrow (or Monday if tomorrow falls on a weekend).

If you have already imported a GEDCOM containing people in mar282007.ged, we need to ask for your patience. We don't at present have a way to auto-merge people from multiple GEDCOM submissions, so if mar282007.ged includes people you have previously imported, importing mar282007.ged will create duplicate pages that you will have to merge later by hand. In the near future we will allow you to delete the pages generated by your previous GEDCOM submission and start over with a new GEDCOM. Until then please be patient. We will notify you as soon as deleting pages is available.

GEDCOM re-upload

We noticed that you uploaded your GEDCOM twice. We only generated pages for the first one because they both appeared to be the same. Thanks for using WeRelate! -Nathan 17:11, 28 March 2007 (MDT)

Hi, My name is Debbie Vietzke. I am going through some of the pages that display cities and towns from Franklin County, Illinois and editing the place names to connect with the main Place:Franklin, Illinois, United States page. I am hoping to connect as many people as possible by standardizing the place names. --Debbie V. 20:33, 7 May 2007 (MDT)

Okay, it looks like I got ahead of myself. Your link to Place:West Frankfort, Franklin, Illinois, United States was perfect :)--Debbie V. 20:36, 7 May 2007 (MDT)

William Chesnut, Jr. [8 November 2010]

Hello, I noticed that you have William Chestnut, Jr. as marrying Sophia Wade. Other sources indicate that he married as his second wife, Jean, who was listed in the following will:

• Page 45.--8th June, 1802. William Chesnutt's will--To wife, Jean; daughters, Elly, Isable, Sarah; sons, John and William; to 6 married daughters, Elizabeth Patten, Nancy Harloe (Horloe), Jean Palmer, Martha Hiden, Mary Smith. Executors, wife Jean, Thos. Patten, Andrew Fulton. Teste: James and Wm. Brown, Wm. Spence. Proved, 28th April, 1806. Jane refused; Fulton qualifies.

Do you have any records to support or refute this?

Thanks and best regards,
