Next step: Review your GEDCOM [14 June 2011]

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 Mitchell.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.

England and incorrect entry for a town [28 June 2011]

Richard,

Thanks for the correction in location re: John Worthington. You are quite right re: Pendennis and I have re-read my information and corrected everything to just plain "England" or if using Pendennis have made it Maryland. Thanks for the help.

"Pendennis Mount is a community or populated place (Class Code U6) located in Anne Arundel County at latitude 38.998 and longitude -76.476 (Pendennis Mount Panoramio Photos). The elevation is 85 feet. Pendennis Mount appears on the Annapolis U.S. Geological Survey Map. Anne Arundel County is in the Eastern time zone (GMT -5). Observes DST? Yes. Current Time. | Annapolis, MD ZIP Code Maps"

You're welcome - I was just tidying up places that appeared as top-level places under England and didn't recognise Pendennis!--RichardK 15:03, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Wikipedia templates [30 October 2011]

Hello RichardK, I am a volunteer admin here at WeRelate. I noticed that you have added text from Wikipedia to place pages. Instead of adding the text and the wikipedia-notice template, please add the following code: {{source-wikipedia|wikipedia page name}}. As part of a weekly automated process, this template will be replaced with the text from WP. There is more information about this process here. Thank you, --Jennifer (JBS66) 18:21, 29 October 2011 (EDT)


Thanks Jennifer - I'd had a go but it didn't work for me - the guidance page is helpful and hopefully I'll get it right next time. Richard.--RichardK 02:08, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

Walbys of Aston, Hertfordshire [4 May 2012]

Hi Richard,

I have recently been researching my family history and came across this website, I am a descendant of George Beadle and Dorcas Walby and noticed you may have been the person responsible for posting some information about them and the Walby family. As you are marked down as 'watching', I would be interested to know what your started off your interest in them?

Cheers

Tom--Tom35 11:43, 3 May 2012 (EDT)


Hello Tom

I'm a descendant of the Walbys of Aston, through George Walby (baptised 1779) who left and moved to Great Wymondley and Hitchin. I have been posting what I know about them - there are a few Walby wills at Hertfordshire Archives I know are there but haven't had a chance to go and research yet.

Regards Richard.--RichardK 14:05, 3 May 2012 (EDT)


Great to make your acquaintance Richard, your research has helped me a lot, fantastic that you have been able to take the Walby's back so far, so you are a descendant of Dorcas's older brother George.

I have hit a bit of a stumbling block myself as I cannot seem to get back further than George Beadle on that side, as I have conflicting information saying he was born in Layston, Benington (but Layston is near Buntingford) and there are Beadles in Benington and Layston so it is confusing which line is correct and I cannot find any info on Georges parents on Ancestry.co.uk.

Best wishes.

Tom--Tom35 04:13, 4 May 2012 (EDT)


Hi Tom

Looking at it, your George Beadle appears in the 1851 census giving his place of birth as Bennington, and age as 68, implying born 1782/3. I imagine other researchers have then simply looked on FamilySearch and seen the closest match there being the George Beadle baptised 29 Apr 1781 at Layston (which parish included the town of Buntingford). However, I'd be wary of simply accepting that without further evidence - FamilySearch has good coverage for Hertfordshire but it is not complete, nor can you ever be certain that every child was baptised or that every baptism was properly recorded, so you can't just say "this is the closest on FamilySearch" and take that as fact.

Good luck in your search. Richard.--RichardK 09:58, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Bedfordshire page [7 November 2012]

Hi Richard

Thanks for sorting out those bits and pieces on the Bedfordshire page. Sometimes one looks at things too long to see grammatical errors. As for missing out Huntingdonshire, that shows too much dependency on Wikipedia (who have also omitted it).

Over the past six months I have done a lot of work on Ontario, Canada pages which have all got to a stage that an electrician might call "first fix". Bedfordshire happened to be the first English county page--alphabetically. There looks to be lots of sorting out to do.

Regards --goldenoldie 16:39, 7 November 2012 (EST) (Pat)


Hi Pat - I did try and tidy up the Bedfordshire (and neighbouring Hertfordshire) parishes a while ago, giving them all co-ordinates and the like, but didn't do much with the county's own page. As for Wikipedia missing out Huntingdonshire, that's because it uses the modern counties - but the nature of WeRelate is such that it's far more the historic ones that are relevant. Good luck in what sounds like a massive task. Regards Richard.--RichardK 16:47, 7 November 2012 (EST)
