Next step: Review your GEDCOM [29 December 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 Warrick_2010-12-29.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. We will keep your GEDCOM in the queue for two weeks to give you time to review it.

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.

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.

Warrick_2010-12-29.ged Imported Successfully [30 December 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.

Greetings [31 December 2010]

Hi Kim,

Thanks for sending me this link. I look forward to seeing how this works, and at the work you have done.

Place page titles [31 December 2010]

Hello Kwrunk, I am a volunteer admin here on WeRelate. I noticed that when you are working on importing your gedcoms, you are creating place pages with titles like Cameron Co. TX, Cameron, Texas, United States. The page for Cameron County Texas - Place:Cameron, Texas, United States - already exists and follows our naming conventions (see Portal:Place). If you need any help in matching places in future gedcom uploads, just let me know. Thank you, --Jennifer (JBS66) 07:05, 31 December 2010 (EST)

Faulkenbury/Faulkenberry cemetery [1 January 2011]

Hi! I'm one of the volunteer administrators here on WeRelate. I noticed that you created pages for both Faulkenbury and Faulkenberry cemeteries. Are they the same place? If so, I'll merge them into Faulkenberry Cemetery (since that's what the sign in front of the cemetery says according to the photo on FindAGrave.com.) Of course, if they are two separate places, we'll leave them as they are. Please let me know. Thanks! -- Amy (Ajcrow) 11:42, 1 January 2011 (EST)

They are the same cemetery. I misspelled and couldn't figure out how to delete the wrong one. Thank you for your help.--kwrunk 19:47, 1 January 2011 (EST)

You're welcome. If you create a page that you don't want to keep and you're the only one watching it, you can click on the "More" link on the lefthand side of the page. One of the options you'll get is "Delete." Click it and you'll get a screen asking you to enter a reason why you're deleting the page. Enter a reason, click OK and the page is deleted. -- Amy (Ajcrow) 20:33, 1 January 2011 (EST)

Image Licensing [17 January 2011]

Hello, I am a volunteer admin and it's my job to help people learn the system. You asked for help licensing your images. I can't license your images but I can give your guidance. There are numerous licensing options, but most images fall into one of these categories:

• Original published in US before 1923
• Low resolution copy of an historical photograph. (When you reduce the image before upload, the resolution is reduced.)
• Snippet of historical document
• Work of US government--Public domain
• If you took the picture, select the CC-BY-SA
• If you know the photographer, get written permission.

Hope this helps. Please be aware that images left in the "Help needed" category for longer than two weeks will be deleted. If you have any more question please leave me a message. :)--sq 14:36, 17 January 2011 (EST)
