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.

Hi Sandy... My name is Ronni and I'm one of the volunteers here. I saw where you were having trouble adding an image to John Hall. I think I fixed it for you. You can take a look at it and see if it's ok. If you have any questions about what I did or need help with anything else, just let me know. :) --Ronni 11:55, 31 May 2007 (MDT)

Edit of Roger Quince Smith [4 November 2013]

Sandy,

I'm not exactly sure who wrote about my great grandfather, Roger Quince Smith, but I removed the notation referring to his suicide. Although this is a true accounting of the events that took place, I'd prefer to let those that have gone before us remain in peace. My Uncle Ross and my grandmother, Velma E. Pace were very kind and gentle people, I don't believe they would want this placed as a permanent reminder of that sad day.

Best Regards, Leonard Anthony (Tony) Pace--LAPace 19:57, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
