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.

Rooker and Wright families [2 August 2007]

Zora WRIGHT WARREN is my great grandmother. She is the daughter of Jones W. Wright and Margaret A. Rooker. I would like to exchange information with you. Zora was a "brickwall" of mine for about 25 years until last year when I FINALLY found her on the 1870 Census of Gordon Co, GA. I've entered some on my info on her family in this Wiki.

You can contact me directly at:

Thanks for welcome [22 August 2007]

I'm still trying to figure out this website, but it looks like a step in the right direction. I am impressed with your credentials and envious that you are working at something so interesting. I hope to retire next year and thought it might be an interesting way to supplement my retirement.

As for my own family tree I am researching several Whetstones that came to America in the 1700's and hoping to find a connection to the ancestors I have confirmed I am related to. Not only am I interested in the genealogy but I like to know how my ancestors might have contributed to the world events of the times they lived in. For an example I know there was a Whetstone that fought at the Battle of Brandywine under General Washington. I don't know if he was a part of my lineage.

In any case thanks for the welcome and would appreciate any assistance, even just getting the full benefit of this website.--Twoshoes1 22:45, 21 August 2007 (EDT)


Living People [14 September 2007]

I am new to We Relate and I am concerned that the names of living people from my tree are online despite the fact that they shouldn't be. What should I do,or can you correct this!?

If you have forgotten the password, click on sign in, enter your user name, and select the email password button under the password field. After you get the email use the old password in your preferences. If you have any other questions or comments, please leave me a message. :-)--sq 19:02, 21 August 2008 (EDT)


Welcoming people [7 September 2008]

Hi Jeanne,

You are missing a few people; I did the exact same thing. What happens is when someone uploads a gedcom or tries to before they have been welcomed; the talk is highlighted in blue; but they have not been welcomed. User, Friendly Skies and EmJune are examples. If you make a note of the last user you welcomed in one sitting; then you will not miss the ones that have a blue talk but have not been welcomed. Thanks so much for welcoming people. --Beth 17:49, 7 September 2008 (EDT)


New to We Relate [25 September 2008]

Thank you for welcoming me to this site...the potential for keeping my family records organized is amazing. I hope I catch on to how to use all the features quickly. One thing I noticed yesterday: in your tutorial it mentions going to the "My Relate" button, clicking, then clicking on the "Browse" button to proceed to find the person/family/etc. you are looking for...I couldn't find that "Browse" feature until I looked under the "Admin" button...perhaps the tutorial should be updated? Maybe there are other tutorials that explain the changes that I haven't found yet...I'll keep searching.--Luv2birdAZ 11:59, 25 September 2008 (EDT)


Hi, Opps, that one must have slipped through last time we updated the menu system. Would you please let me know which tutorial you are referring to. Thanks, --sq 21:50, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

omitting specific people from uploaded files [28 September 2008]

Hi. All my family files are uploaded to RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project which allows me to block specific people from showing up online, person by person by person. In other words, everyone in my parents' generation on down are blocked, whether living or dead. Until I am assured that I can do the same here, I will be hesitant to blindly upload a Gedcom. I maintain 9 separate Family Tree Maker files -- 4 files each beginning with a grandparent of mine, 4 more files beginning with a grandparent of my husband's, and the 9th file is for my daughter's father's family. This has worked really well at RootsWeb because each file has a different database name. RootsWeb has worked really great for me except for one thing -- after they merged with Ancestry, Ancestry captured all the RootsWeb files several years ago, freezing them in time, and created OneWorldTree for which they charge an extra fee to access. Because I am exceptionally consistent in how I enter information, I easily recognized my own files when they showed up in a search at Ancestry and wondered what on earth was going on. After finally subscribing for "everything" American, I discovered my answer in shock and anger. I am a professional researcher in an unrelated field so am conversant with copyrights way beyond the average person's knowledge and aware that even this message to you is automatically copyrighted in my name and is protected for 70 years after my death whenever that may be. Therefore, all my FTM files are copyrighted and cannot be shared "for profit" without my explicit permission which, of course, Ancestry never bothered to obtain. --Wilene Smith in KS--Wilene 23:08, 27 September 2008 (EDT)


Hi, this is Solveig, I am an admin for WeRelate and its my job to monitor edits. I noticed your message here. First, if it is evident from your GEDCOM files that the person is living, all the vital data will be blocked and the given name will be changed to "Living" and the Surname retained. So, if you upload a file for John Smith, it would be saved as "Living Smith." That said there are ways to trick the system. But, if you leave the death date and place fields empty and the person was born within 110 years, vital data will not be uploaded. I am not familiar with FTM, so I can't comment on how the "blocked" function will work. If you upload a tree and it does something you don't like, you can delete the tree. You can delete your pages anytime as long as no one else has edited them or is watching them.

    As to your question about copyrights. If you read the license agreement you had to agree to when you posted your gedcom on RootsWeb, you will find that you gave them a license to use it anyway they wished. i talked with the founders of Rootsweb and they said that they simply ran out of money. They didn't have enought donations to keep it going and were very close to just turning off the machines. If Ancestry had not taken over all the databases would have been lost. On many websites (I am not sure of RootsWeb's particulars) you give them the copyright on the material. Some restrict your futher publication. Not nice but true. :( You retain the copyright on all material posted on WeRelate. Everything posted on WeRelate is subject to the GFDL which basically says among other things, that everyone can use your material in anyway they please as long as they give you credit. The GFDL also says that if someone uses your material in a derivative work, that derivative work must be published under the GFDL. This pretty much prohibits people from making a profit from freely shared material. Hope that answers your questions. If you have any more questions leave me a message :)--sq 22:30, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

merging pages [29 October 2008]

can you please explain the process for merging pages, specifically how do we as users assure there are not more than one page for the same individual or family? If I upload a GEdCOM and someone else does and they contain same individs of familys, does We Relate figure this out and auto merge or do we have to search, discover the overlap and force a merge? without such a merge it seems you could end up with hundreds of duplicative pages, each with just a unique index number. thanks--Syroots 12:45, 29 October 2008 (EDT)


Go to More and select show duplicates. For now you will have to check from time to time. In the future, new gedcom uploads will require merging before the gedcom will be added to WeRelate knowlege base.--sq 17:04, 30 October 2008 (EDT)


October Volunteer Hours [1 November 2008]

When I went to add my October hours to the WeRelate:Volunteer log, I noticed the line you entered for October 31 was not appearing on the table. I made a couple of edits, and it looks ok now. If you could just double check it to make sure it's what you intended. Thanks.--JBS66 09:08, 1 November 2008 (EDT)


Just getting started in using WeRelate [7 November 2008]

Thanks for your offer to help me just get started in using WeRelate.

I had put a query?, information on my Henry Jackson Hart b. ca. 1786 in Pennsylvania. Are we connected??

I have been doing genealogy for 42 years and am retired from the Indiana Room, Anderson Public Library, anderson, IN. I try to get to Ft. Wayne as often as I can.

At the present time I am chair of the Genealogy Committee, Madison County Historical Society.

Now, how do I find a page with the information on my Henry Jackson Hart Sr. I want to change some of the information on that page. Also can I list the names of his children with their dates of birth, marriages, & deaths or do I have to make seperate pages on each one.

Also I do know how to put pictures of my ancestors on a page. There is no pictures of Henry Jackson Hart Sr. but I do have one of his grandsons who is my direct line.

Thank you,

Spam [12 December 2008]

I realize that I should have posted here before I posted on Watercooler... I saw on the recent changes list there are a couple of new users that you welcomed that could be a type of spam. I went ahead and put them up for Speedy Delete, can they also be blocked? Please let me know if I've erred. Thank You!--Jennifer 15:46, 10 December 2008 (EST)


Yep, they should have been blocked. Caught it too late. But I am blocking them now. There was a bunch more today (7) and another address.--Jstump 19:26, 11 December 2008 (EST)


[12 December 2008]

Hi, I am suffering from a learning curve, I am finding the site hard to use. Are there any other tutorials for laying out the pages? When i go to the example pages I find the personal page has a table showing census is there a template for this? Any help would be appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read this.--Mjmcara 01:07, 12 December 2008 (EST)

Hi Mjmcara! My name is Ronni. I'm another one of the volunteers here and since I don't believe Jstump is online at the moment and since I have insomnia :), I thought I would try to help you if I can. I agree the site can be a little overwhelming at first, but try to read and/or watch as many of the various tutorials that you can. I did take a look at a few of your pages and they look great, so it appears you are catching on faster than you think. As to the census charts you are wanting to create, there isn't a template for it that I have seen. To create one though involves making tables. There is a help page on formatting or designing where it tells you how to do this. You can read it here. If you use excel, you might find this little trick here interesting that someone wrote about over at rootsweb. If you have any further specific questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message in the Watercooler. And welcome to WeRelate! :) --Ronni 01:42, 12 December 2008 (EST)

Disambiguating Places [12 December 2008]

Firstly, thanks for your welcome message and I'm hoping you can give me some guidance. If this isn't the most appropriate route for seeking such help, just point me in the right direction, please.

My wife's family have some of their roots in Northamptonshire, including a place called Barnwell.

Now I see that WeRelate has Barnwell listed in the ENG,CAM hierarchy at

   http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Place:Barnwell%2C_Cambridgeshire%2C_England as per the source cited.  

maps.google.co.uk also places Barnwell in CAM

Now the geographic co-ordinates in the citation for the Barnwell, CAM point to the place I'd think of as Barnwell, NTH (I did start to mess with this page, but believe I've reversed out my changes).

To complicate matters apparently there is a suburb of Cambridge, CAM known as Barnwell see

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnwell,_Cambridgeshire.

Separately there is a WeRelate page for Barnwell in the ENG,NTH hierarchy at

   http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Place:Barnwell%2C_Northamptonshire%2C_England based on wikipedia citations.

I believe (but have no citable sources) that Barnwell has always been part of the historic administrative county of Northamptonshire and that the modern day references relate to UK postal addressing.

I'm at a loss as to what's the best course of action.

Simply merging these two entries doesn't feel right. At a future date somebody else may come along and citing the original sources re-create the deprecated entry.

The best I can immediately think to do is to add geocoding to existing Barnwell, NTH, but will create two distinct places entries pointing to the same geographic location, which doesn't seem right. Should I add alternate place names to each pointing to the other county name?

Is there standard WeRelate guidance for this situation that I've missed?

Thanks

Getting started [12 December 2008]

Just getting started using your site. My ancestors on My father side (Mittelstadt) originally came from Brandenburg, Germany (My Great-Grandfather with his wife, three eldest kids, plus his mother-in-law emirgated in June 1888). So just bear with me as I experiment.

importing my gedcom [31 December 2008]

I thought I had done everything properly and on the dashboard under trees it shows my gedcom victoriaruthpierce.ftw with the word "waiting" but it has been waiting for several hours and nothing seems to be happening. How does the imported gedcom turn into a tree? is there further step I need to take?

Adding marriages [14 January 2009]

Hi, I just joined today and was tweaking my data when I noticed there was no option for adding a marriage. I think I understand that you have to add the person/persons not in your tree first, but the add event section doesn't have marriage that I can see. What's the trick?

Thanks for the help.--Kaperc 18:03, 14 January 2009 (EST)


Questions [16 January 2009]

I have recently downloaded my family tree to WERELATE. I have been doing my Hugh McGovern family tree for 20 years. As I am now finally writing my family history book the biggest hurdle is not knowing the town in County Cavan, Ireland that both Hugh and his brother Thomas emigrated from. Perhaps I have misunderstood this site. Are people going to actually help me do this search? Thanks for any info you can give me. Kathy--Imashykaty 19:53, 15 January 2009 (EST)

Novice - help needed [8 February 2009]

Hello Jstrump

Good to get your welcome message.

I am feeling very deskilled, and wonder whether you could just set me off in the right direction.

Yesterday I thought I made a Person Page for Ethel Nutland and her husband Percy Leybouren.

But when I come to day to look for them, in the search facility, I can't seem to find them. Is that because I am not 'looking' correctly or because infact I didn't save original page, just thtought I did???

Many thanks Lois--Lw 11:59, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Could you remove on my User Page the one with the ? in the name instead of redirecting it?

Suggestion - The Prigmores [12 March 2009]

Hello,

I was wondering if you could help me. I am in need of a suggestion, or recommendation, or volunteer help.

I live on the West Coast (Seattle).

There is a book called "The Prigmores" by Leta Olson at the Allen County Library at Fort Wayne, IN. It is not available for interlibrary loan. It will be a very long time before I could get to Ft Wayne, IN. The LDS library at Salt Lake City does not have it available for loan either.

I would appreciate your suggestions, recommendations, etc. I would like help in double checking the sourcing.

gedcom review [7 March 2010]

Hope you can help. I have a clean gedcom (D Nelson Ring.ged) that I would like to finish. There is one MATCH which should be easy but I am blocked by the following message "Unable to communicate with gedcom review program". Browser refresh doesn't help. This is my second day of trying to continue. I have had this before but it usually disappears after a few days. Any ideas on how to clear this out and avoid it in the future? I sent an email to Dallan and I know he is rather busy so thought I would also contact you as backup.

As follow up, it is now afternoon March 7. On an older Dell computer with Internet Explorer 7 I was able to finish the Match process trouble free. Previously I was using a relatively newer HP laptop which I think has IE 8 - won't see that computer again until Thursday. Both computers are XP. Is it possible that the problem is the browser or computer and not WeRelate? Howard--HLJ411 15:59, 6 March 2010 (EST)


Place Name - needs editing? [28 June 2011]

Hello, I noticed a place that you created a couple of months ago: Rockingham or Pendleton, Virginia. This is coming up on my gedcom uploads and it is being suggested as a place in addition to the regular place name for Rockingham County. I'm thinking that perhaps you didn't mean to create this place, and maybe it should be either eliminated or merged with the Rockingham County page?

Thanks and best regards,

Jim:)--Delijim 13:01, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

I discovered the Augusta County, VA Ramsey section at werelate.org last date which includes my ancestors, James and Margaret Ramsey, with references from Lyman Chalkley's Chronicles. My family history article in the 2005 FAMILIA Ulster Genealogical Review covers their emigration, settlement, and family in great detail. Subsequently, I published my family history in 2010 under the title "A Ramsey Family History Chronicling the Origins and known Descendants of James and Margaret Ramsey", ISBN 978-1-4507-1890-5, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 2010907835.

There are some errors for the James and Margret Ramsey family which is found in online sources and have been duplicated on their werelate.org page. I would like to make corrections and to supplement the James and Margaret Ramsey page so that researchers may see the results of the primary research and documentation supporting the family records.
