Welcome

Welcome to the WeRelate virtual genealogical community. Here we can learn from each other, work together and find what we need to make our research easier, more rewarding and fun.

You can create a free profile, Shared research pages and Personal research pages. Shared research pages are the next generation in message boards: they can be organized and edited. When you create a Shared research page title on your home page, the link will appear in red. Click on the red link, enter a message and save. (Creating a title for the page is not enough, your cousins can only search for pages with content.) If you type in the name of the town or county you are interested in with a comma, you will see a list of standardized names for all the places with that name, worldwide; select the one that applies to your research. These standardized names are used in "research categories" and will directly link you to research sources relevant to your research in those regions. Category links are at the bottom of each page. Standardized place names also make it easier for cousins to find your page. Personal research pages are password protected wiki pages: visible to the community but editable only by you.

Person and Family pages are up and running. Take 10 minutes to see video tutorial/tour for people pages. You can view sample person and family pages (all you do is fill in the blanks), annotated pictures, and pedigrees with color coded migration maps. Check out a sneak preview of our new Family Tree Explorer, With this tool you can easily navigate and add pages to your famliy tree, view descendancy trees and ancestral trees for each person and view a sortable index of your tree.

If you are new to Wiki's, you may wish to check our many help and tutorial pages. Or, you can select edit on any page to see how the formatting commands are used. (You could click edit at the top of this page, for example.) You may also be interested in Recent Changes. Here you will see a list of all recent edits. Please help by deleting any spam or inappropriate material.

We are adding new features and material, frequently. Your comments would be greatly appreciated at the Watercooler. If you have any questions, please email me. Again thank you for participation. Enjoy! --sq

Possible Duplicate Pages [25 April 2009]

I am working on the current merge project on WeRelate. On WeRelate, one of the goals is to have 1 page for each person and family. Hopefully the researchers that have duplicate pages will collaborate on producing a high quality page for the person or family. Your page Family:Richard Burton and Katherine Christian (1) appears to have 3 duplicates. Select More on the blue menu bar and duplicates. Your duplicate pages are listed.

I am prepared to merge the duplicate pages for Richard Burton and Katherine Christian. There would appear to be an error on your page; would you check the birth date and marriage date? Would you like to merge the pages and/or discuss these pages with the other researchers involved? --Volunteer Administrator-Beth 20:57, 25 April 2009 (EDT)
