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 Kelly_2013-11-16.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. We will keep your GEDCOM in the queue for two weeks to give you time to review it. 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. 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.

[add comment] [edit] gedcom review [26 November 2013]I have reviewed Kelly gedcom multiple times. Only item left on warning list is Elmira Kelley's name. I have changed it in the body of the tree page (to Elmira Bamberger) but don't know how to change the title on that page which is still her married name. Any help available for this?--EKBDVA 16:53, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

English in the Harrisburg area with wives named Harriet. Or George might have kept two families. More research is needed so I will suspend entering more information until I have the information verified.--EKBDVA 20:13, 27 December 2013 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Drinkwater _2013-12-30.ftm does not appear to be a GEDCOM [29 December 2013]We were not able to import your file because it does not appear to be a GEDCOM file.

[add comment] [edit] Source conventions [13 January 2014]Hi EKBDVA, I was reviewing some of the census sources you've added, and I wanted to let you know about a few of WeRelate's source conventions.
If you have any questions, of if you would like me to demonstrate census citations on one of your Person pages, just let me know. --Jennifer (JBS66) 22:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC) To JBS66: Many thanks for all the editing you have don on my recent submission. Yes I would like you to demonstrate the correct way to enter Sources and citations on any or all of my attempts. EKBDVA--EKBDVA 22:54, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

[add comment] [edit] The difference between Sources and Citations [19 January 2014]Hi EKBDVA, I'll use Franklin Pierce Johnson as an example: 1. I found him in the 1920 census. I went to his page, pressed Edit, went to the Events and Facts section of the page, and clicked the Add event/fact link. From there, I chose Census from the Type of event drop-down box. Then, I entered 1920 (I could have entered the full date that appeared on the census page) - and the Place he was living at the time of the census (Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States). 2. For this 1920 census, I wanted to add a Source Citation. This allows you to document where you found the data. I clicked on the first of the three + signs just under my new Census event. This put an S1 in the box and linked to a new Source Citation. 3. The Title of this 1920 census source is Cook, Illinois, United States. 1920 U.S. Census Population Schedule - so I entered that in the Title field. I also chose to add additional information from FamilySearch about this source. 4. I saved the page Now, you can see there is a 1920 Census event, and a [1] that links to the citation below. That links to a WeRelate Source page with more information about that general source. The Source page is not the place to put information about your ancestors. For example, you created Source:Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States. Cook, Illinois, United States today, which I will need to delete. This source already exists: Source:Cook, Illinois, United States. Illinois, Cook County Marriages, 1871-1920. It looks like this is the 1910 census for Franklin Johnson: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MKZW-BNK. If you want, you can enter that census on his Person page, and I'd be glad to look it over for you. --Jennifer (JBS66) 23:40, 18 January 2014 (UTC) Thanks yet again JBS66, you are now officially my mentor. Hope I can translate this to other sources (like Ancestry) and let you help someone else. EKBDVA--EKBDVA 22:38, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] added a "My Source" reference [21 January 2014]I found the information on Mary Ann Drinkwater's death in the copies of the pension file I made at the Archives in Washington, D.C. Didn't know how to enter them so please take a look and make suggestions or edits. I notice someone else used the same documents so I copied their reference but deleted their name. Also found (in the pension file) the documents from England verifying their marriage date and place. EKBDVA--EKBDVA 19:51, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Error Message: "Pages Unresponsive" [25 January 2014]While trying to enter an image of the marriage document reference for Humphrey Drinkwater and Mary Ann Taylor, the message "Pages Unresponsive" keeps popping up. I am given the option of killing the pages or waiting. If I press "wait" the message disappears only to reappear. Is your site crashing or is the problem on my end? I am using Google Chrome.

[add comment] [edit] "Ghost entries" [29 March 2021]Editing tree of William Heller : while entering death information, "Daniel Davisson DAR Cemetery....." appears and stubbornly refuses to be deleted. It has nothing to do with the information about William Heller. Correct information is: Wm Heller died in a military hospital in Hopewell, Virginia. Please advise on how to solve the issue.

[add comment] [edit] Yohogania, Virginia [4 May 2022]Hi Some time ago you noted that many of the pages you created link to Place:Yohogania, Virginia, United States, even though they say Pennsylvania. I know part of the answer for why that happened and how you can fix it. The situations on your pages that I looked at today all had "Pennsylvania United States" (with no comma). That doesn't match the Place page name, so WeRelate would try to resolve the link when the page was saved. For some reason that I can't determine, WeRelate is picking Yohogania as the first match. I just removed "Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States" as an alternate name for Yohagania and that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. There's something going on that I don't understand and I might follow up with Dallan. At any rate, you can fix your pages yourself, by simply adding the comma to "Pennsylvania United States". You can find all your pages with the incorrect link by clicking "What links here" (left-hand menu) on the Place:Yohogania, Virginia, United States page. I fixed a few for you but I'd rather spend my time on my own multiple projects to improve WeRelate. When you are done, you can delete the Talk page where I first noticed your comment Person talk:Eliza Bomgardner (1). Thanks.--DataAnalyst 22:01, 4 May 2022 (UTC) |
