Next step: Review your GEDCOM [4 October 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 Onuszko.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 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.

Onuszko.ged Imported Successfully [4 October 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.

Census pages [11 October 2010]

Hello Joe, I noticed that you are creating quite a few new census pages - nice job!. As you create these, it would be helpful if you could also add in code that places a template and category on the page. A sample can be found here: Source:Ford, Illinois, United States. 1880 U.S. Census Population Schedule. I put the following on the page:

{{1880Census}}
== Usage Tips ==
[[Category:1880 Illinois census]]

Thank you, (volunteer admin) --Jennifer (JBS66) 16:40, 11 October 2010 (EDT)

Adding Sources Blank Page issue [27 November 2010]

Hi Joe - I think this is an issue with newspapers in particular; I had the same thing happen when I added a newspaper. Will you try another type of source and see if the add page works? Thanks, --Brenda (kennebec1) 11:46, 18 November 2010 (EST)

This was a bug. Thank you for reporting it. It's fixed now.--Dallan 23:14, 27 November 2010 (EST)
