Next step: Review your GEDCOM [17 November 2009]

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 Our Godsey Roots.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.

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.

Incorrect addition to Gay family of Augusta County [31 December 2009]

Hello, I noticed that you added an alternate set of parents to Eleanor Gay. The William Gay that you have as a possible father would have been 62 years old at Eleanor's birth. In addition, you show a 27 year age difference between William Gay and his supposed wife, Margaret Walkup. I believe if you consult the work of John B. Robb, who has thoroughly researched this family, you'll see that Eleanor was most likely the daughter of John Gay and Agnes. The existence of William Gay as the progenitor of the early Gay family was basically "family tradition" and not supported by facts.

One other fact on William Gay: You show that this William Gay died in the Calfpasture in 1755. I believe if you look at the records, it is clearly this William Gay, a brother of Eleanor that died on the Calfpasture in 1755.

Please review this information and if you agree, you should delete the older William Gay and Margaret as Eleanor's parents.

Thanks and best regards,

Lucy Corker daughter of William Corker and Lucy White [3 November 2010]

Do you have sources for the birth date of Lucy Corker? I estimated that she was born about 1658. It would be most helpful if you would enter sources for your data on WeRelate.

Following is my report on Lucy Corker including sources.

Family Group Record for 

  Wife: Lucy /Corker/ (1) 
        Born: Abt 1658 - VA, USA (2) 
       Father: William /Corker/ (Abt 1627-Between 1675)
       Mother: Lucy /White/ (Est 1638-          )

Events

     *  Court: 06 Mar 1682/83, Surry County, Virginia,  Lucy Corker, age 24, 
     deposed. (3)
     
     "Page 328. 6 March 1682/ Christopher Foster, aged 33 years, testified in 
     a like deposition [regarding Thos. Jordan's mare]. Luch Corker, aged 24, 
     also deposed.
     
     Page 327. 6 March 1682. Deposition of Wm. Pollard, aged 20 years,

     killed.
     
     Page 327. Deposition of Wm. Broadrib, aged 18 years, concerning Thos. 
     Jordan's mare."
     
     I believe Luch Corker to be Lucy, daughter of Captain William Corker.
