Images of documents [1 October 2010]

Hi, There was a glitch in the system that didn't identify images that needed a license. It was recently fixed and I have a host of images to take care of. I added the appropriate license to some of your images, but didn't understand why you were using that symbol. You have since removed the symbol. If you want me to delete the image pages, please sent me a message. Thanks,--sq 21:45, 30 September 2010 (EDT)

On 29 Sep I deleted 5 images which I had previously downloaded. These were images that I obtained from the website called "ScotlandsPeople". After again reading their Intellectual Property Rights agreement (which I had accepted), I decided that having these images on WeRelate would have been a breach on my part and, as far as I can see, they are now on longer on the system. These records have been sufficiently cited to allow others to find them (after paying for them).

I have several other images on the system which I have purchased from the Victorian Registry of B,D &M however they do not seem to breach any agreement or copyright.

I'm unsure which symbol you are referring to - perhaps you mean the Adobe file symbol; these images were downloaded in the pdf format.

Now that you have uploaded Amoore8Oct10.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.

Gedcom issue: Ernest Filer [11 October 2010]

Please take another look at the warning. It appears that this person can't fit the families. Perhaps there is another Ernest? If you think it's correct, adding some notes to the pages to explain the situation would help. I'm returning your file. When you've finished fixing, just go to the Import tab and click ready again. Judy (jlanoux) 12:48, 10 October 2010 (EDT) (WeRelate volunteer)

saw your note. I removed his birth estimate and import is running now. Make sure to adjust his and his parents estimates to more reasonable dates. It's good practice to leaave a note indicating how estimate was derived. That way you or another researcher know to revise it as more info is obtained. --Judy (jlanoux) 10:52, 11 October 2010 (EDT)

Thanks for this, I will take on board your suggestion to add comments about estimates - I used to do this when I first started out years ago but have developed some bad habits which I'm trying to correct as I build my tree. Regards - Ken--Kenamoore 18:53, 11 October 2010 (EDT)

GRO Indexes [14 October 2010]

The reason that I have created separate sources for each GRO index is that is what they really are. FreeBMD is indexing all three main ones and it is possible to search all three at once on that site. However if you look at the images of the original indexes on the site you will see that the births, marriages and deaths are not interspersed but completely separate. There are also separate birth, marriage and death indexes held by each registration authority in England and Wales. For example each London borough has separate BMD indexes for its own area as does each county council in England. The GRO indexes are based on those local indexes but are separate and distinct. David Newton 06:54, 14 October 2010 (EDT)

Thank you David, this seems reasonable. I assume you must be in the UK so I won't presume to tell you something that you would likely know far better than I do, however I would have thought that the Place should be "England & Wales" not just "England" but I don't want to be pedantic. Perhaps this was an Admin decision.

It would be nice to have a source which refers to to an actual BDM document instead of just the indexes, for example Source:Victoria, Australia.Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates - do you know if one exists?

I notice that you also have a source for all the indexes Source:England. England and Wales Civil Registration Indexes which has an excellent description but that's all. Did you create this source to redirect others to the correct souce? If so perhaps you could say this in the text. Which source would you suggest I use - this one or an individual source for each birth, death or marriage?

Finally, if you have the time and inclination there are several other sources you may like to look at and perhaps consider re-directing to your source.

Source:Great Britain. Registrar General. Index to the Civil Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths for England and Wales, 1837-1983

Source:Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Family History Library. Index to the Civil Registration of Births, Marriages, and Deaths for England and

Source:England. Vital Records

Regards Ken--Kenamoore 08:21, 14 October 2010 (EDT)

The source should indeed be in England and Wales and if you look at the registration district place names I have created you will see that I have done precisely that. However it was a decision taken by those who are not so aware of UK legal history as I am and you appear to be. As for the FHL sources, frankly they clutter up the wiki immensely. The vast majority of them are not used and a lot of them, like the civil registration indexes, are actually false sources as the real source is the indexes themselves and not a particular repository where they can be found.
The problem with the FHL sources comes from the fact that they were automatically imported and created rather than being created by users of the wiki. David Newton 11:12, 14 October 2010 (EDT)

Edward George Gwyther [19 October 2010]

Hi, I am new to we relate, so i am finding using the website a little tricky.....However i would like to respond to your query about Edward George Gwyther marriage to Patricia Widin they wed in Cairns on the 21 May 1949. I am still attempting to review/purchase a copy of the marriage certificate from http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/justice-services/births-deaths-and-marriages. It looks as though I will have to order a copy as there is no copy available online. I have just recently compiled a list of family tree information for my dad Garry Gwyther the eldest son of Edward George when he turned 60 this month, as more information is uncovered i will share this with you. Thanks, Kelly.--Kelshipway 05:43, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

Hi Kelly, Thanks for your response - I'm still learning WR as well & I agree it can be tricky at times. I am very interested to see what you come up with for Edward as it all seems a little strange.

Do you have a copy of Edward's NSW death certificate? I have not seen a NSW death certificate, but on a Vic certificate it usually has most of the details we would need to sort out if we are talking about the same person. If you do not have a copy, perhaps I could purchase one and share it with you.

If we can prove the connection, then your father Garry and I would be second cousins. Warm Regards Ken--Kenamoore 06:39, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

Hi, yes i have a copy. I have uploaded a copy through "images" and i have also added a picture from Edward and Patrica's wedding day and a photo of Edward in his ARMY uniform provided to my dad by his Aunty Jean. Dad is keen to learn more about his family, unfortunately his dad died when he was 12 years old. Most of what dad knows is from Aunty Jean, which he had only known for a couple of years before she passed away.--Kelshipway 07:46, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

Living people [24 January 2012]

I noticed that you have created pages for people who are likely still living (for example: this person). WeRelate's policy does not allow the creation of pages for living people due to privacy concerns. Please delete your Person and Family pages for living people by clicking on More>Delete from the menu on the left. You can use templates such as Template:Pedigree3 to connect family lines using a chart on your User page. Thank you, --Jennifer (JBS66) 06:18, 24 January 2012 (EST)

Stasinowsky [5 August 2012]

Hi Ken,

I've just discovered this site and was excited to find that you had my 3x great grandmother Christianne Ledderhase in your tree. How did you find her??? I had given up and most other researchers only seem interested in the children of Eleanore.

I am descended from the eldest Stasinowsky daughter, Johanne Ernestine Caroline. Incidently I have her death date as 22 Aug 1917 in Loxton.

I also noticed that you have Gottlieb in this family. I think his parents were Johann Gottlieb and Johanne Christiane Schultz.

I haven't put anything up on this site, but registered mainly to contact you.

Regards, Jill--JillB 03:30, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

Thanks [10 April 2013]

Hi Ken,

Just a quick thank you for setting up all the Australian sources which you have. I have started using them and realised how many have your name against them.

Thanks Jeffrey--JeffreyRLehrer 16:20, 10 April 2013 (EDT)

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your comment - at first I felt a bit daunted setting up a lot of these on my own without having a "committee" of other users to guide me. But as so little has been changed, they can't be too bad.--Kenamoore 19:54, 10 April 2013 (EDT)
