Next step: Review your GEDCOM [28 April 2011]

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 albroclean.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.

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 your gedcom file [28 April 2011]

Hello and welcome to WeRelate. Thank you for attending to your gedcom review so promptly. I have checked your file and I am afraid we can't import it in your current form. There are some duplicate people in your file. One of WeRelate's advantages is that we have only one page per Person or Family. Please review your Person and Family tabs more carefully and note these. You can fix the problem in your personal database and send a new clean gedcom. Also it appears that there is some misunderstanding about Family Match. Once you have clicked the check box to say you want to work on these people, you have two buttons at the bottom to choose from...If you are sure these are the same people, click the match button and you will have the option to compare your information to that on the page and add information from your gedcom if you have new information. Please use caution when updating existing pages. If you are not sure or if they are clearly different people, check the "Not a Match" button and new pages will be created for your people instead of merging with the existing page.

I also note that you have many living people, these will be automatically excluded by the system. But you have many people with no events (dates or places) to help other users identify them. It will be nice if you can work on this a bit. Since these people are undated, please check carefully on the Person tab and check the exclude box for any people who may be living. WeRelate uses a 110 year threshold for living where no death event is known.
I am returning your file to the user review status so that you can review the content of the various tabs again. They should all be checked. Please fix the problems (mainly duplicates) and send us a new gedcom file. You can use the button on the Overview tab to delete your file when you are finished using it. Enjoy! --Judy (jlanoux) 19:42, 28 April 2011 (EDT) (WeRelate volunteer)
