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.

Lovicy Plumley [24 November 2008]

I don't know how interested you are in Lovicy Plumley, wife of John Adkins. Joel Hager has a wealth of related information, if you haven't already collaborated with him. The Lovicy Plumley page is at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hagerj&id=I64643

I am interested in how the Adkins, Hortons, Plumleys, Egnors, Smiths, Saddlers, Sutliffs and others are interrelated in that area of WV (Lincoln, Putnam, Kanawha, Cabell, Giles, Boone, etc.). as my main maternal lines of Adkins and Horton have not yet opened up. Only recently have I found the Egnor connection of my grandmother, Mary Frances Horton 1883-1928, wife of Andrew Jackson Adkins 1884-1931.

Bailes from England? [7 April 2009]

My information is that Bailes' grandfather arrived among a large group of Kieffer/Keffers on the "Sally" at Philadelphia in 1732. The lived for a while in Bucks County Pennsylvania before moving to Virginia.

Kieffer is recognized as an alternate spelling for Küfer, a Cooper, in German.

Where did you get the info that Bailes was born in England?

Person:John De Kelly (1)

Please take a look at this family. It seems to be a duplicate with the family of Person:John Kelly (116) but isn't a precise match. It needs someone familiar with the people to make the call. The family should be on your duplicate list: Family:John De Kelly and Margaret Unknown (1)--Judy (jlanoux) 16:17, 26 July 2009 (EDT)

John Dill and Mary Dill [31 July 2009]

Hi Vangale, please examine your family pages on Family:John Dill and Mary Dill (1) and Family:John Dill and Mary Dill (2). There are many similarities but John Dill has different parents. Also examine Family:John Dill and Living Unknown (1). Mrs. John Dill is not likely to be living; possibly the name Living was assigned in the gedcom upload. Please edit this page. I am a volunteer administrator merging duplicate pages; you may merge your own duplicate pages if you wish. On the blue menu tab, select My Relate>Show Duplicates to identify your duplicate pages. Thanks. If you have any questions, the watercooler accessed on the main page is a great place to ask questions. --Beth 19:29, 31 July 2009 (EDT)
