Welcome

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor web pages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.


Video Tour

We strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes taking our video tour. It provides a brief overview of how to use the features of WeRelate. A little time spent here may save you time later. There are also in-depth text tutorials available from the Help button.


Create Webpages

The next thing to do is launch Family Tree Explorer, then select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and give your family tree a name. You can either upload your GEDCOM or create person and family pages one at a time. To upload your GEDCOM, select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and then click on Import and choose the GEDCOM file to import. The system will create an editable web page for each person and family in your GEDCOM. To create a page manually, select Add in the Family Tree Explorer menu and click on Add new person; enter the given (first name) and surname (last name), select Add, then fill in the blanks and save.

The Family Tree Explorer is a Flash application and will need to use some space in your computer to cache the files. That's computer talk for "If you store some ancestor page information on your computer, you will be able to view more pages faster. Otherwise, the system has to fetch each page every time you edit or look at it. This would make navigating your tree very slow.


Connect with other genealogists

You should always sign in when you are editing or adding pages. Use the signature button (second button from the right in the menu bar above the edit box) to sign your comments on discussion pages. That way others with similar interests can find you. If you click on the blue user name on any page, you will go to that person's home page. You can leave a message on his/her Discussion page. The Discussion page button is in the light green second level menu bar above.


Shared research pages

Shared research pages act like specialized message boards. Be careful to use only one name spelling and one location in each field; do not use abbreviations. Including postal codes and multiple spellings, names, or locations in these fields will cause your pages to be improperly indexed. It will make it harder for your cousins to find your pages and work with you. For more information see Shared research pages.

Sources

Ray, I see you have made a number of changes to your Coonradt relatives. It would be nice to include sources backing up your changes. Like Georges' birth from 1832 to 1812 is probably a typo in Ralph Garfield's family tree, your source would add to the validity of any changes or additions. --Coonradt 11:04, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


Mary Coonradt

Hi Ray, I might of sent the last message a bit soon ! Looking at Mary's page I see the note about the Headstone, that is great ! I also noticed that I never uploaded any of Mary's children, probably since I had no info on Mary's husband. This would be a chance for you to make some additions to the family tree, since you have a direct link to the Mary Bassett-Brock family. Dave Young --Coonradt 11:15, 1 July 2007 (MDT)


Coonradt, Mary

Dave: In the material we downloaded on the Wilhelm Family Descendants back in 2006 under George Henry he was listed as being born about 1812 in Grafton, and died 1871, Grafton. They had a son, William Adam, born 1833, Grafton. His father could not have been born in the 1830s and still had a child born in 1833. Ralph Garfield Coonradt, son of Darius Coonradt and Elatta had compiled a lot of the Coonradt Descendants and I believe you have all of that. As far as daughter Mary, who married Daniel Harvey Bassett and Benjamin Brock there is a listing of her children (not all correct). Children of Mary Bassett and Daniel Harvey: (1) Ida Isabel, b 19 June 1855, Troy NY, d 24 January 1907, Chicago, IL., m John G. Oberholser, 25 March 1891, Belvidere, Boone Co., IL. Both are buried at Belvidere Cem. (They had no children_. (2) Arthur Ensign, b 9 November 1857, Troy, NY., d 30 August 1932, Porterville, Tulare Co., CA., m Kate Louise Chamberlain 12 March 1879, Boone Co. IL. Buried in Porterville, CA; Kate Louise buried Peoria Co., IL. (3) William Clarence Bassett, b 4 December 1861, Troy, NY, d 4 November 1896, Los Angeles Co. CA. (well accident), m Cora Wadsworth 21 January 1884, Plymouth Co. IA. (4) Minnie Eunice, b 1 January 1863, Belvidere, Boone Co., IL. d 12 May 1937, Oxford, Chenango Co., NY., m Charles E. Ritchie, 29 July 1885, Belvidere, Boone Co., IL. (5) Darius Elmer, b 25 October 1866, Boone Co., IL., d 21 December 1928, Porterville, Tulare Co., CA. (killed in car/train accident) (6) Lillian J., b 14 January 1872, Boone Co., IL. d 11 February 1960, Los Angeles Co. CA., m Myron Marshall, 7 January 1897, Boone Co., IL. I hope this clears things up or adds to what is needed.
