Welcome

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

Video Tour

We strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes taking our video tour. It provides a brief overview of how to use the features of WeRelate. A little time spent here may save you time later. There are also in-depth text tutorials available from the Help button.

Create Webpages

The next 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 an 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 (second button from the right in the menu bar above the edit box) to sign your comments on discussion pages. 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.

Shared research pages

Shared research pages act like specialized message boards. Be careful to use only one name spelling and one location in each field; do not use abbreviations. Including postal codes and multiple spellings, names, or locations in these fields will cause your pages to be improperly indexed. It will make it harder for your cousins to find your pages and work with you. For more information see Shared research pages.

Emanuel Downing (b, 1685) & Lucy Winthrop (b. 1598/99) Family [19 April 2011]

Hello,

I am working on the Edwards Family Tree and found these ancestral family members that someone posted. I was very delighted to find a wealth of information. I'm having difficulty with this particular family that has 22 children. There are 8 children who have the same 4 names: 2 Abigails, 2 Joshuas, 2 Lucys and 2 Henry. However, the birth/death dates and locations are different. One child has a death date before the birth date (Lucy). I am a new contributor to We Relate, so I may not be understanding something. I see that this is a 2nd marriage, but I'm not sure that explains all this. I'm not sure how to enter this information so that it is correct on my alternate family tree that I have been keeping before I found We Relate. Would you be able to explain this to me?

Thank you very much for any assistance you can give me.

Gatsey Stoker Auvenshine [23 March 2012]

Hello Glenda, I believe that you posted the date of death for Gatsey in correctly and then posted an alternate date which is correct. Her tombstone in Bethel-Rhome Cemetery, Rhome, Wise, Texas lists her year of death to be 1882.--Jacksson 19:27, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Glenda has not made any contributions to this site since 2007. If you are confident that your death date for Gatsey is correct make the changes on the page and add your source. If there is no source for the incorrect date delete the date. If there is a legitimate source then change to alternate and the correct date to primary.--Beth 19:42, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Nancy P Jarrett [24 March 2012]

Hello Glenda, Nancy Penina Jarrett is my great great grandmother and I have lots of information including a photo of her. I will adding a descending tree from her down to my mother with lots of others. She married my g g grandfather, Daniel Rhodes, so I will be placing a large amount of Rhodes folks on the tree. The whole clan was centered around Mountain Grove, Missouri with lots of them remaining there, but with others moving west to Idaho and Oregon (my branch). So anyway, lots of work to do and getting acquainted with using werelate will take some time. BTW, I sent you another message before finding Nancy.
