[add comment] [edit] Theusch-GED.ged appears to overlap a previously-imported GEDCOM [7 August 2008]The pages from this GEDCOM have not yet been generated because they appear to match pages from a GEDCOM you have previously imported to WeRelate. If you have already imported a GEDCOM containing people in this GEDCOM and you want to replace that tree with this GEDCOM, you need to delete that tree first so duplicates aren't created when you import this GEDCOM. Go to the Family Tree page, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the "delete" link next to that tree. Please be aware that any pages in that tree that are being watched by others won't get deleted. Once that tree is deleted you can create a new tree and re-upload this GEDCOM into it. (We're planning to make re-uploading GEDCOM files much simpler later this Fall.) If you don't think you have already imported a GEDCOM containing people in this GEDCOM, or if the two GEDCOM's don't overlap that much, leave a message for Dallan or send an email to dallan@WeRelate.org and we'll go ahead with the import.
[add comment] [edit] Potential copyright violation nominated for deletion [16 December 2008]I have nominated A Tip For Beginning Swiss Research for deletion as a copyright violation. I've created a Source to cover the article, at Source:Beatty, John D. A Tip for Beginning Swiss Research. --ceyockey 17:45, 14 December 2008 (EST)
I had not read WeRelate:Copyrights when putting these notes on your talk page. I've subsequently followed the instructions there. Regards, ceyockey 18:24, 14 December 2008 (EST)
Hi, I'll step in here. It's ok to post copyrighted material at WeRelate so long as the copyright owner grants a GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) to their work. Most of the the time the poster is the copyright owner so the license is granted as part of the posting process. In cases where the copyright owner is someone else, we need to make sure that the owner gives permission to grant a GFDL license. So the question is: who owns the copyright to these articles? If the articles are written by employees of the Library on library equipment, then the copyright owner is most likely the Library, so the Library manager can give this permission, so we should be ok. If the articles are written by people outside the Library, but as part of submitting the article they turn over their copyright to the Library or give the Library a general license to do whatever they want with the article, we should also be ok. If the articles are written by people outside the library who have given the library only a limited-use license to publish their article in the newsletter, then we'd need to go back to those authors for permission to publish their work under a GFDL license. My guess is that these articles are written by library employees so we're ok. Tctheusch, is this the case? It would be nice to have content from genealogy gems posted on WeRelate if this is indeed the case. I see that one of the articles has been deleted already (speedy-delete is pretty speedy), but if it turns out that the library owns the copyright I'll go ahead and undelete it. Please let me know one way or the other.--Dallan 23:00, 15 December 2008 (EST) These articles were written by library employees for their part in Genealogy Gems. The Genealogy Center's Manager (Curt) thought these would be a great tribute to WeRelate Articles. As you will note, at the bottom of each articl, it states the date and issue of Genealogy Gems. Ok, I'll undelete the article. Thanks!--Dallan 12:31, 16 December 2008 (EST) [add comment] [edit] Church-GED.ged Imported Successfully [22 January 2009]The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully.

[add comment] [edit] GEMs Articles are just that -- GEMS [16 February 2009]I just want to say how great all these GEMs articles are that you put onto WeRelate last year. I'm reviewing all of the pages in the "Article" namespace and a lot of them are articles from the GEMS newsletter. They are really wonderful and I'm learning alot from them. So even though I'm no where near your library, I'm benefitting from your work and collection! -- jillaine 20:02, 16 February 2009 (EST) [add comment] [edit] GEDCOM Export Ready [6 July 2009]The GEDCOM for tree Springsteen is ready to download. Click here. [add comment] [edit] Comments [12 August 2009]Hi Cynthia, I am a volunteer admin on WeRelate and a couple of your recent submissions caught my eye. First I noticed what appears to be an error for Archie Krebs, you show his marriage 1889 3 years before his birth in 1892. Your page for Harry Billingsley lists his birthplace as Kalamo, did you mean Kalamazoo? I had an aunt and uncle who lived in Kalamazoo, My mother and aunt were grand daughters of Mary Elizabeth Billingsley, born in Bowling Green, Ky. We trace or Billingsley line back to Francis and William Billingsley who immigrated from the Netherlands to Nansemond co., VA in 1650 and then to Calvert Co., MD.Do we have a connection?--Scot 16:01, 10 August 2009 (EDT) Thanks for catching that error. I had accidentally typed his son's birth date. Kalamo is a township in Eaton County. I am not directly related to the Billingsley family. Mary Ann Woodrow is the sister of my Great Grandfather.--Cynthia 08:05, 12 August 2009 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] GEDCOM Export Ready [14 August 2009]The GEDCOM for tree Emmer is ready to download.

Cynthia, Good to find another descendant of the DeWitt Clan. I have a feeling you are in the Spencer DeWitt line. Primarily because you mentioned in your message that you lived in Michigan. John DeWitt was my great grandfather. A gentleman by the name of Jay Rentz contacted me some 25 years ago to gather some information on the descendants of Willard DeWitt. Have you heard of him? He has since passed away and I am trying to locate his children because he has some information that I didn't get completed. I actually grew up just north of Ft. Wayne in DeKalb County. Because of that I am pretty familiar with the history of the DeWitts in that area. Would love to discuss it with you when you have time. I used to spend a lot of time in the library at Ft. Wayne. Great place for this kind of work. Looking forward to hearing from you. Don DeWitt

ddewitt001@insight.rr.com--Donalddewitt 23:18, 11 August 2010 (EDT)
Don, Yes, I am from the Spencer DeWitt line. He was also known as Willard Spencer DeWitt. His wife's (Eva Ann Showers) family was also from the DeKalb area. I would like to meet with you and compare notes on the family. I have not heard of the gentleman you mentioned. Spencer DeWitt had two daughters so that it may have been very hard to locate the family line. Spencer and Eva may have had a son born and died in Eaton County, Michigan; but I need to go back and take another look at what I might have seen. Should you wish to stop at the Genealogy Center in Fort Wayne, I am usually there. Just let me know ahead of time and I will bring my DeWitt family papers. I'm glad to find another cousin doing family research. Feel free to add/edit what I have up on WeRelate.

Now that you have uploaded Theusch-Church_2010-09-28.ged, your next step is to review what your pages will look like, review any potential warnings, and combine (merge) people in your GEDCOM with matching people already on WeRelate. You need to review your GEDCOM before it can finish importing. Note: if your gedcom contains many errors or multiple families, we’d ask that you resolve and correct the errors, delete this gedcom and re-submit it without the errors before merging it with families already on WeRelate. If the gedcom is very large, we’d suggest breaking it up into separate files (or families) and importing them one at a time, which makes the review and correction process easier.

They are wanting to know whether he was actually was born in Michigan. They said that they think he was born in Virginia. However, I have a copy of a 1930 census that states he was born in Michigan. Where did you get this information? Thanks for your help, Tony--Abwarfield1969 22:53, 27 December 2010 (EST) Tony, I got this information from LDS's digital database.

[add comment] [edit] Delia McCrae, Bosley, Porcheron ancestors in Montreal [15 September 2014]Hi Cynthia, I just wanted to thank you for your contributions to my family history. We didn't know that my grandmother's mother's family was from Quebec until we found the information here on werelate. I strangely, by some historic twist of fate, moved to Montreal, Quebec about 25 years ago now. Stranger still, I give historic tours of Old Montreal so I spend most of my days in recent years outside of the Notre Dame Basilica. I found out from werelate this past March that my great great grandfather, Joachim Decombe-Porcheron's funeral was at this very church in 1889! So I went in last Friday and asked after the whereabouts of his grave. Turns out he is buried on Mont Royal in Notre Dame des Neiges cemetery right here in Montreal just a couple kilometers from where I live! I went up there then and there and visited the site, near the oldest part of the third largest cemetery in North America. Frankly, I was totally blown away... I thank you so very much for your input. I've just contacted my aunt in Saginaw, Michigan because we're both so interested in our family history and I was so excited to share this "new stuff" with her! Now we're planning her visit here so we can go visit his grave together. I'm not sure if I will ever have time to add on here, so I won't promise... but I have extensive genealogy of my grandfather's (John Demongey's) family, back to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Colombier, France back to about the 1660s. I was actually looking for info about William McCrae (my great great grandfather) but unfortunately there was none. Thank you and have a great day!

Without magnifying them (and that requires downloading), I cannot see what they might add to our genealogical knowledge of the city of Lincoln. Would you consider adding a few words of explanation or moving them to one of your family pages where they might tie in with the subject better?

[add comment] [edit] Images on Southhampton, Hampshire, England page [25 June 2016]I wrote to you last November about the image galleries on the Lincoln page, suggesting that these images needed some words of explanation or transfer to one of your family pages. I have now found a similar group of images on the Southampton page. Probably the images have appeared on these place pages because the "add image" screen asks for a location. But the "add image" screen also allows person or family links. These would be better placements for your photographs. As a place page administrator, I am currently updating the Southampton page, attempting to add details that might be helpful to all WeRelate users, particularly those unfamiliar with the city and its history. At the same time I want to keep the page as brief as possible so that users are happy to use it. Once again, if you are sure that these images have a purpose on the Southampton page, please be kind enough to add a sentence or two of explanation to the gallery. Regards --Goldenoldie 08:53, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

You noted that Marietta's son Elisha was named after her father. I did the ancestry.com DNA test and located a likely Elisha Williams b.1795 in PA who lived in Fulton County Ohio. Problem is that the DNA points me to his cousin William Williams who lived in Genoa Ohio as an equal or better candidate, since there are more DNA matches through him, and William's wife Lucinda Phelps' family also matches with my DNA results. Neither family mentions a daughter Marietta in any published source that I located so far. Looking at what you posted you are likely the best source I know of to point me to the right family. I left a post for you on the library website but don't know if you saw it. It is interesting that, if I am correct, that Isaac Church's bio's in the county history books are riddled with inaccuracies. Can you point me in the right direction on this search?--Bawright1 21:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Next step: Review your GEDCOM [17 December 2021]You're not done yet!
