Next step: Review your GEDCOM [26 May 2015]

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 287502831_2_DF_c85g2q6s45df6b1q.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.

needs more data [28 May 2015]

Hello and welcome to WeRelate. Thank you for submitting your gedcom file. I am afraid that there is a problem. WeRelate is based on a shared database and creates a web page for each person. In your file, most of the people don't have events containing dates and places which would enable someone to identify the person. We will not be able to use this file as it is. However, we do encourage you to work on your data. You will need to add at least one date and place for most of the people in your file. We also strongly encourage the use of sources. You may like to browse the existing pages and try creating a few by hand to get familiar with how WeRelate works. A list of recent featured pages is available from the WeRelate home. These will provide some examples of what is possible. And, finally, as a reminder, we do not create pages for living people. If you have any questions about your gedcom, you can reply here.--sq 03:35, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

You need to review your GEDCOM before it can finish importing. We will keep your GEDCOM in the queue for two months to give you time to review it. If your GEDCOM does not contain at least one date and place for each person, preferably with at least one primary or secondary source it will possibly be rejected, See the help pages for how you should prepare your GEDCOM prior to uploading.

Gedcom Review [24 May 2016]

Hi, I am an administrator with WeRelate and I am currently reviewing your GEDCOM prior to import.

It seems you did not read the help pages and FAQ's about the upload process, especially the preparing your GEDCOM for upload steps. Would you mind telling me why not, it will help to make the process better if I can understand where we may be failing.

My recommendation would be to test the working of WeRelate by first trying a small GEDCOM, perhaps 50 people, say the ancestors and spouses of one of your grandparents or great-grandparents. Your file of 90 people would be acceptable if there were no other errors. Are you happy that the errors and warnings can be ignored, husband and wife having the same name can occur but often it is an error to list her under her married name, women who change names on marriage should entered as the birth name or unknown. The birth of children to older woman can also happen especially if you have a baptism date as the birth date, you need to check and confirm this, the death of a father more than 9 months before a birth could also be the same cause. You also need to match all the places with our places database for all the features of WeRelate to work correctly. Sources are a requirement now, other family trees are not sources, they are at best questionable you need to have primary or secondary sources for each fact. The three families you have matched use the same questionable source but have different data. I am returning the gedcom to your review to correct, add to or just explain to me why I should accept it.

You can edit this page and add your comments below, see Talk page help for more about this.--Rhian 08:48, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
