User talk:TarHeel

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.

Moved text from WeRelate talk:Research into your user page

Hi, I just wanted you to know that I moved your message about the Graben clan from the WeRelate talk:Research page (we try to use the "WeRelate talk" pages for discussing issues regarding WeRelate) to your user page. Thank-you for contributing!--Dallan 10:07, 30 April 2007 (MDT)

--KENDALL 09:03, 1 May 2007 (MDT)brm_wlbnks== Louis Graben Descendent- Ethredge Milton Gray ==

I have added some information about Ethredge Milton Gray,if you don't mind. I also have the names of Emily Idella Duke's children if you are interested. I am fairly new at this and I do not want to do anything wrong. The other information on Louis Graben's family has been very helpful. I would like to know if any could tell me the Graben that lived at Rosalie, Alabama in the 1950's. We used to go to Grandmother Emily's house nearly every Sunday and my father told us we were related to him, but I don't remember his name.

Graben family name [23 July 2013]

Hi, I am looking into some family genealogy & Emily Idella Duke is my Great Grandmother. She married Roland Burroughs Gray near Gadsden, Alabama I believe. She is buried in Bryant, Alabama on Sandmountain. Her Grandfather on her mother's side was Louis Graben. I am just checking into family connections. Thanks, Miss Rene'--Missrene 13:53, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Native verification [21 April 2019]

Hey TarHeel, Sitting Bear here. I am Ethel Idora Hunter's grandson, I have a good deal of genealogy info. My Mom and I actually goth to speak to some of our ancestors many years ago,

However, we have never solidified what tribal blood ran in our family. Grandma's generation all had the black hair, tan skin and high cheekbones of our natives. Do you have any names or documentation handy of who our full blood Native ancestors were, and what rolls they were on?

I'd really appreciate the information. Someone said my Great-Grandma, Uvie Harmon Hunter was full Seminole. But our Hunters and Grabens all lives in Vherokee and Creek/Muskogee country.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
