Next step: Review your GEDCOM [26 June 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 WATJButler.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 lines and importing them one at a time, which makes the review and correction process easier.

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.

Problem with gedcom file [26 June 2010]

Hello and welcome to WeRelate. I see that you have marked your file Ready for Import. Thank you for handling the review so promptly. I am not able to do the import yet because you have marked the exclude box for every family page in the file. This means that we would have only Person pages not connected to any Family. The Exclude box should be used to prevent import of living people and any other pages that may have gotten into your gedcom unintentionally. Checking the box will prevent that page from being created.

I'm not sure what you intended. Please leave a note here if you have a question. In WeRelate, Family pages are used to link spouses and also to link children to their parents. These relationships are essential to genealogy. I have returned your file to the User Review status so that you can work on it if you choose. --Judy (jlanoux) 14:09, 26 June 2010 (EDT) (WeRelate volunteer)

WATJButler.ged Imported Successfully [28 June 2010]

The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully. You may now:

• launch the Family Tree Explorer to navigate your tree
• view your network -- If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families, find out to which other WeRelate users you are related.
• view related pages not in your tree -- If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families, find out which people you are now related to that you can add to your tree (takes awhile to display for large trees).
• view a searchable list of the pages in your tree -- The searchable list will be available about an hour after your tree has been imported.

For questions or problems, leave a message for Dallan or send an email to dallan@WeRelate.org.
