Next step: Review your GEDCOM [30 April 2016]

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 bleuer2_2016-05-01.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 months to give you time to review it. If your GEDCOM does not contain at least one date and place for each person, preferably with at least one primary or secondary source it will possibly be rejected, See the help pages for how you should prepare your GEDCOM prior to uploading.

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.

Important Question [1 May 2016]

Hi, I am an administrator with WeRelate and I am currently looking at ways to make the GEDCOM uploading experience better.

I noticed you recently uploaded a GEDCOM, can I ask you if you read the help pages and FAQ's about the upload process, especially the preparing your GEDCOM for upload steps? If you did not read or do the things suggested would you mind telling me why not, it will help to make the process better if I can understand where we may be failing.

My recommendation would be to test the working of WeRelate by first trying a small GEDCOM, perhaps 50 people, say the ancestors and spouses of one of your grandparents or great-grandparents.

You can edit this page and add your comments below, see Talk page help for more about this, or you can email me from my profile page if you prefer a private discussion.--Rhian 11:49, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
