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 homepage, Surname in place articles and Personal research pages. Surname in place articles are the next generation in message boards: they can be organized and edited. Personal research pages are password protected wiki pages: visible to the community but editable only by you. Check out person and family pages (all you do is fill in the blanks), annotated pictures, and pedigrees with color coded migration maps.

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


Hi dad!

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you learn how to use the website.


GEDCOM upload status

Thanks for uploading your GEDCOM! We found some bugs in the first batch of GEDCOMs that we uploaded, so we're fixing them and we hope to have your GEDCOM uploaded by the end of tomorrow (Wednesday).

Gedcom uploaded

Your GEDCOM has been uploaded! Let us know what you think or report bugs on Dallan's discussion page.


Thanks for getting me started

I appreciate your advice in helping me use WeRelate. I have made my dad the Root Person and will investigate adding some more ancestors to the lines that are now established.


LDS ordinances in gedcom upload

This is just a quick note to let you know that we saved the LDS ordinance information from your gedcom upload and will provide a way for you to view and edit this information in about a week.--Dallan 14:55, 18 February 2007 (MST)


Question about gedcom uploads

It seems like it might be better if I did not include the LDS ordinance data in my uploaded gedcom files, n'est pa'?--Dquass 17:46, 18 February 2007 (MST)

You can go either way. If you include LDS ordinance information it will not be included on the pages that are created, but it will eventually be visible to you and to others who open your tree in family tree explorer, although only you will be able to edit it. Eventually the LDS Church will launch their new FamilySearch.org website, at which point we'll need to come up with a different approach for tracking LDS ordinances, probably through a link to the webpage displaying the LDS ordinance status for the individual at FamilySearch.org.--Dallan 13:35, 19 February 2007 (MST)

Monroe, Iowa

Hi Don,

I apologize for the redirects to Jasper Co. I made an erroneous assumption that you meant the town Monroe, which is in Jasper Co. There was no place page for Monroe township in Linn Co., so I created one. Now those place links are valid.--Kittydoc 12:45, 10 May 2007 (MDT)

Mary

I really appreciate your help and I see what you did to provide a "source" for the Monroe page. Thank you very much, no apology needed. I'll try to follow your pattern and create some other Iowa place pages that I need. This also teaches me that I should have provided a "source" for the two Germany place pages that I created the other day, i.e., Heukendorf and Pflichtendorf. One of these days, we're coming to ACPL and I look forward to meeting you.--Dquass 21:23, 10 May 2007 (MDT)

Personal Research Pages

I'm not finding the "personal research pages" box after registering on werelate.org. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks. Lee Mitchell gmagpaona@yahoo.com

It looks like you've solved this question already. Congratulations!! If you have other questions, please contact me. Did you read the latest e-mail about adding a Family:Page? I look forward to seeing you in Madelia.--Dquass 21:15, 28 June 2007 (MDT)

Hi Don

I just wanted to drop you a few lines to let you know I believe I lived next to your Grandpa and Grandma Quass when I was growing up. Feel free to email me to confirm this.

Lydia Prince d/o Sanford Prince and Matilda Lent b.1841, Rome,PA d. 1913, Rome,PA Burial: Rome Cemetery, Rome, PA Wife 2 of Judson King s/o John King and Elizabeth Ganung.

I realize that the birth of Judson A. King appears to be some eleven months after the death of his father. Bradford County and Rome Cemetery records state these dates. At this time I have not found day and month of birth for Judson A.

Feedback on final place review [21 November 2007]

Hi, I wanted to make sure that you saw the proposal I left for a final place review on WeRelate talk:Place review. I'd love to get your comments on it. Thanks!--Dallan 11:40, 21 November 2007 (EST)


Lucretia Murray married to Charles Tuttle [27 January 2008]

Hi! My gggf's brother Charles Edward Tuttle married Lucretia Amanda Murray and I am trying to go further back on the Tuttle side do you have any information?????

Thanks,--Dtutt 14:28, 27 January 2008 (EST)


Ralph Quass [26 May 2008]

Don I 'edited' your page on Ralph Quass, adding several paragraphs to your one sentence notes. I'm not all certain that is what you recently modified for my review, comment, and records however. I could add a lot more 'anecdotes' on Ralph and Emma Quass. The comments are based upon recollections of conversations with them, our father, and his siblings over the years. Of course, I lived with them for a school year on the family farm west of Randalia, so was intimately acquainted with them and our aunts and uncles, their children, albeit my being 5 to 6 years old at the time. Impressionable age. ken--Krquass 11:01, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

Next step: Review your GEDCOM [15 March 2010]

You're not done yet!

WeRelate is different from most family tree websites. By contributing to WeRelate you are helping to create Pando for genealogy, a free, unified family tree that combines the best information from all contributors.

Now that you have uploaded wilkinson_d_1.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.

Click here to review your GEDCOM

Once you have finished your review and marked your GEDCOM Ready to import, one of our administrators will review your GEDCOM and finalize the import. This usually happens within 24 hours. You will receive a message here when the pages have been created.

Scotland [5 January 2019]

Hi Dallan! Happy New Year!

You added Glen Africk on a day when I have been trying to sort out parts of Scotland I never really looked at when I made the earlier attempt in 2013. Scotland was reorganized twice in the late 20th century-in 1975 and again in 1996. The 1975 alteration introduced "regions" which proved to be too large to be satisfactory, even with a second layer of local government called "districts" below them. In 1996 regions were dropped and many districts became unitary authorities covering the same territory, but there were some border changes where local needs required.

Aberdeenshire was the traditional county I had planned to work with, but in the reorganizations it got linked with three other counties surrounding it and it did not separate back to its old boundaries in 1996. I have spent the day trying to get my head around it and set it all down in reasonable articles that deal with the changes in chronological order. Wikipedia tends to look only at the post-1996 picture and other sources seem to believe that post-1975 geography is not worth talking about, so it was back and forth between various Wikipedia articles, each of which was telling only part of the story. I finished the new articles before dinner, and saw the email advice on your change to Inverness-shire when I returned to the computer. This made me glance through the Inverness-shire article and its parent in WP where something was explained that I had not come across in Aberdeenshire and its neighbours earlier in the day: "landward districts", invented in 1930 to cope with areas in a county without burghs (=decent-sized towns). The WP article, "List of local government areas in Scotland 1930–75", explains all the terms, their effect in each county, and also has a fantastic map (when zoomed three times). I had never seen this article before; it certainly is not referred to in every county. It is about to be added to my as-yet-unwritten research tips for Scotland. As for the map, it is sure to be copied in county-size sections when needed.

I continue to work on UK geography for WeRelate on almost a daily basis. It doesn't get in the way of arthritic aches and pains. Most larger counties in both England and Scotland get dropped when I lose interest in them, but they are often picked up again a year or so later.

Regards, Pat --Goldenoldie 19:46, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


Good morning, Goldenoldie, I am actually Dallan's dad and I saw a screen saver on my computer showing Glen Africk that I thought I would add to WeRelate as a location.

I used Inverness as the county without understanding the governmental changes that you are exploring.

Do you want me to remove it, or should I change it in some way?--Dquass 18:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
