Have you seen GedcomParser at Rodovid.org? Example: Pippin the Younger - be patient - tree contains more then 450 peoples...

Sorry it's been a while since I've responded to this item... I have seen the Rodovid site and I like WeRelate's approach better. -Nathan 14:30, 22 February 2007 (MST)

Godfather TAG in GEDCOM

Hello. Thank you so much for taking care of that. I have edited the GEDCOM manually to remove the Umlauts (ä,ö,ü) and uploaded it a second time to tree2(Umlaut free version). -Tobiaseisentraeger


GedCom Ferreira Porto

Olá caro Npowell, obrigado por enviar-me a sua mensagem apontando. A minha intenção foi a de atualizar a página da genelaogia, talvez eu ainda não tenha conhecimento de como fazer isso, se puder por favor mande-me esclarecimentos. Obrigado e um abraço --carlosetmenezes 12:43, 12 March 2007 (MDT)

Exatamente, o meu GedCom é gerado pelo PAF e está sempre sendo atualizado, tanto com correções como com novas adições de pessoas, assim entendo que para manter atualizado minha WeRelate deveria também enviar o GedCom atualizado. Obrigado e um abraço --carlosetmenezes 13:26, 12 March 2007 (MDT)

Ok entendido, vamos aguardar, obrigado por sua atenção Abraço --carlosetmenezes 13:51, 12 March 2007 (MDT)

Olá caro Nathan, que boa noticia essa de podermos excluirmos o GedCom e enviar outro atual. Obrigado e um forte abraço.--carlosetmenezes 13:48, 16 March 2007 (MDT)


Missing People

Thank you for the head's up about the missing people in my GEDCOM. I'm still trying to actually be able to see my GEDCOM in the family tree maker, but so far every time I try to view it, nothing loads. As soon as I can see it, I will fix the missing information.

Ginny Sanchez

If you want, we can upload your GEDCOM without the missing information, and then you could fill in the holes. -Nathan 19:23, 16 March 2007 (MDT)
Yes, please. That would be fantastic, thank you! Ginny Sanchez
We'll take care of it by the end of Monday -Nathan 23:44, 17 March 2007 (MDT)

Byers GEDCOM

Hi Nathan--So you got stuck with me, huh?! ;-)


I will re-check what I submitted, but what I was trying to send was a family history starting with William Byers in VA in the 1700's. Did I inadvertantly re-send the Snook GEDCOM? (Both were located on my desktop and it could have happened.....) If so, sorry and I'll try to re-send the Byers after work today.

Ellen Jennings

We already have the Byers GEDCOM. I just wondering if there are a lot of people in the Byers GEDCOM who are also in the Snook GEDCOM. -Nathan 13:57, 2 April 2007 (MDT)

Except for the most recent 2 generations, there are no connections between the Snooks and the Byers. One person from each family did marry in 1927---my grandparents. So the second GEDCOM took them out and their descendents. Sorry for the confusion.

I hope this clears it up1

There is a problem importing BillingsDiller.ged

There was a problem importing BillingsDiller.ged, owned by Katsus98040

-WeRelate agent 13:01, 8 April 2007 (MDT)

The Billings/Diller gedcom I just uploaded is my maternal side of my ancestry. The Wells gedcom I uploaded last night is the branch of my paternal side on which I have done the most research. The overlap will be from my parents marriage. Not sure how to avoid this duplication (and I was planning to upload my paternal mother's branch (Stephenson) so if this causes confusion or error, please advise). Thanks, Kathryn

Thanks for letting us know -- I hope that we cleared up everything. -Nathan 10:47, 10 April 2007 (MDT)


My Gedcom file

Hello,

I did try to import a GedCom file that is very similar.  I just took out the living realitives.  I would not like their names and information to appear on my family tree for privacy reasons.  So how do I import my new Ged Com file that is similar to the one I deleted?

Thank You, Kristy

Sorry about this -- I see that you deleted your old family tree file. I'll put your new GEDCOM in the queue immediately to be generated. -Nathan 10:37, 9 April 2007 (MDT)



i've got several gedcom files and they all contain overlap data

I've been so confused getting started in genealogy. I've made several files that all contain overlapping data and I need to merge them all into one. How can I do that? Some end with .fbk, some with .ftw, and some with .ged.

How can I get all my family data into one file? Or should I? I'm so confused trying to track my biological father, my mother and my stepfather's families.

Frankandjeansboy

Your GEDCOMs were both really small, so I ended up just generating the pages for both of them. Feel free to merge any overlap created. It shouldn't be too hard -- just delete the duplicate pages and make sure all the information you want to keep is in the pages you want to keep. Let me know if you have any questions. -Nathan 08:20, 9 April 2007 (MDT)

Obrigado tudo normal agora

Obrigado Nathaniel agora está tudo normal, abraços --carlosetmenezes 12:36, 9 April 2007 (MDT)


GEDCOM

Would you go ahead and import "danforthjoy.ged" I believe the only duplicates would be Danforth Joy Coonradt and his wife Ann Marie Nielsen. I will merge them manually.

Thank You--Coonradt 20:45, 10 April 2007 (MDT)


My GEDCOM File

Nathan, for your information and future reference, my GEDCOM file was generated by PhpGedView, the popular web-based genealogy system.

My site is at www.roblog.com/familytree/ if that helps. Email me at rob [at] roblog [dt] com if you feel a username/password would help you diagnose any problems.

Regards Rob Roy


Attempting to Import GEDCOM

My GEDCOM has been rejected twice. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong.For the name of the file I used "latimerddbd.rmg" that is at the top of the page. Thanks, Shelby A Morse


Gedcom

You asked what program I use for my genealogy. I use Roots Magic. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong so that it will not come through. Thanks, Shelby A Morse

There are probably several different file formats that you can export from the Roots Magic program. In order to be able to export your genealogy to WeRelate, it needs to be in the GEDCOM file format. Maybe it would be helpful if we posted step-by-step directions on how to do this in RootsMagic? Let me know if this would be helpful. Thanks again for using WeRelate! -Nathan 23:12, 14 July 2007 (MDT)

Overlapping GEDCOM s

I am uploading several family GEDCOMS today.. and yes there is overlapping and can you still place the files on for me, thank you --Msscarlet1957 16:41, 12 July 2007 (MDT)


1moore.ged upload

I didn't realize when I uploaded 1moore.ged the other day that I'd already uploaded an earlier gedcom. The earlier one is not very good. 1moore.ged has been cleaned up - for one thing, there were lots of entries listed as "living" that couldn't possibly be alive. Is there a way to get rid of the former and only keep 1moore.ged? Do I need to delete the earlier one? How do I do it. Sorry I've gotten so confused, but I'm hoping to learn how to use this site because I think it's a great idea. Also, I write a genealogy column for a computer user group's newsletter, and I plan to do it on WeRelate for September. I mentioned this site in my August column, but didn't go into a lot of detail.

I also hope this was the right place to send this message. I'm really "wiki impaired". Kaye

It sounds like you need to do the following:
  1. Delete your family tree as described in Help:Family Tree Explorer.
  2. Re-import your new GEDCOM. Since the old GEDCOM's family tree will be deleted, the system will no longer detect an overlap.
Let me know if you have any other questions. -Nathan 11:39, 20 July 2007 (MDT)

Gedcom

Please go ahead and up load my files. TT is simular to the last one, but smaller as it's easier to manage at present. Will add people as I go. Please add TT.GED TO OVERWRITE what's ther now Ta much

4-CHRISTMAN-COLETREE.GED [27 August 2007]

Nathan, Thanks for the heads-up. Yes, please import this GEDCOM, I will merge the duplicates.--Johnsyverson 09:02, 27 August 2007 (EDT)


WeRelate page User talk:GayelKnott has been changed by Npowell [9 October 2007]

I've received the email saying that you are still having problems uploading my Scott family gedcom. I'm concerned about this problem, as I have other gedcoms that I would like to upload and am wondering if there is something I could fix before doing so. I have uploaded gedcoms to WorldConnect, so am particularly puzzeled by the problem.

Thanks, Gayel--GayelKnott 11:27, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

The problem is most likely a bug in the program I wrote. I should be able to fix it sometime tonight or tomorrow morning though. Thanks for uploading your content to WeRelate!

boettger.ged [13 October 2007]

Sorry, missed this (from Sept 23) still pending. That boettger.ged did overlap (people accidentally left in the export list when I did another gedcom. You can delete it, I have found and moved all my boettgers to the right tree now.

Thanks! Lelani--Larris 20:02, 12 October 2007 (EDT)


Profile [6 July 2008]

Nathan, I looked at your profile and it looks like you are my man. I live in Cupertino, CA six miles from Stanford. I am a retired Electrical Engineer from HPLabs in Palo Alto where I worked for 18 years. Prior to that, I was a consulting engineer and among many other clients, did work for Lawrence Livermore Labs and Lawrence Berkeley Labs. One of my daughters spent 3 years in Brazil in Santa Maria in Rio Grande do Sur and Jundiai near Sao Paulo. She married a Brazilian 10 years ago and they are currently spending Thanksgiving break with his parents who live in Campo Limpo de Sao Paulo. If you wish, tell me how and I can get these files to you--Scot 11:57, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Wow! It seems like we have a lot in common. Serving in Brazil was really a great experience for me! -Nathan 12:55, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Nathan, I have just added comments on the talk page for Francis Nichols, whom I believe is a shared ancestor. I will be in SLC from 7/23 to 7/27 at the Austin family convention at the Plaza and will be spending time at the FHL. Is there anything in particular that you think I should research?--Scot 13:54, 6 July 2008 (EDT)


Various merges... [14 April 2008]

Well, we may have ancestors in common, but probably not these. I've been on a puritan merging vendetta for the last couple weeks and my connection to most of these folks is pretty indirect.--Jrm03063 19:57, 14 April 2008 (EDT)
