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 harper_2015-03-22_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 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. Click here to review your GEDCOM 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.
[add comment] [edit] Please check warnings tab [21 August 2015]Hello and welcome to WeRelate. Thank you for submitting your gedcom file. I am afraid that there is a problem. WeRelate is based on a shared database and creates a web page for each person. Before your gedcom can be added to the community database, obvious errors need to be corrected. We realize that sometime older people have children and sometimes children are born close together or before marriage. However, this is not generally the case. Our system has checked your gedcom for possible errors. Please check the warnings tab and delete or correct erroneous information. Then, resubmit. Thank you, --sq 09:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC) What is the problem? As I said in the posting I put on the topic board right now, the procedure for updating the file is confusing at best. I made corrections yesterday, but the old listing is still the same. If you need to have me make changes, let me know what they are with a new list with a date attached so I don't redo the thing over again which is a waste of my time as well as being very frustrating.--Wcoup 14:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC) WCoup, have you viewed the "Getting Started Videos?". They might help you in the Gedcom review process. There are also other tutorials and information available in the Help Section. Hope this helps. Regards, Jim [add comment] [edit] Removal of information on Person Page [21 August 2015]Hello, I noticed that in your recent Gedcom upload, that you have erased/deleted information and records on the Person Pages of Robert Kirkham and Charles Bond. Since there are several researchers working on a Project in Virginia documenting persons and records of many Virginia settlers, we would respectfully ask that you DO NOT DELETE any such information and records from a Person Page when you upload your Gedcoms. You are free to ADD information, documentation, records and narrative on a Person Page that adds to information on that Person, but please be respectful of the work done by others when adding information either through Gedcoms or manually on Person or Family Pages. I have reverted the Person Pages of Robert Kirkham and Charles Bond to their original condition before your Gedcom upload. Feel free to add your information to his page. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding, Jim Volunteer Administrator - WeRelate--Delijim 15:43, 21 August 2015 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Additional information on your Gedcom [22 August 2015]Hello, I have looked into your Gedcom and here are my findings and recommendations:
Your information on the Gedcom can be "added to" the Person Pages by checking the individual boxes on the LEFT SIDE of the "Matched Families" tab, which shows the information to be added from your Gedcom. Otherwise, your information will not show on the Person Page after your Gedcom is completed and uploaded. In addition, I'd highly recommend that you view the tutorial videos which help walk you through the process and make sure you are adding your information correctly. Once you get the hang of things, you'll find the process much easier to upload, review and complete. BTW - your Gedcom was still in "Uploader Review" status and there were several warnings that needed to be reviewed as well as several Person and Family Matches that needed to be reviewed, corrected and accepted. I went ahead and reviewed the rest of your Gedcom and submitted it for final approval. Again, by uploading smaller gedcoms, this process will be easier for you in the future. Hope this helps, best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 14:31, 22 August 2015 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] harper_2015-03-22_01.ged Imported Successfully [22 August 2015]The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully.

[add comment] [edit] Your questions [23 August 2015]As best I can, here are the answers to your questions: I have reviewed the changes you have made and am impressed with what you have done. Thank you. I have been told by one of you that sending smaller GEDCOMs is better. What is the most usable size you want; i.e. how many generations? What I have sent you is only half of my ancestry and I want to send the rest the most useful size possible.
Richard Davis and Isabella Davis (1) updated 22 August at 15:06. Richard is listed twice; the information is identical. Why is he listed twice? The other one is mainly a question.
The family of John White and Mildred T. Ballinger, updated 22 August at 15:00 shows Eliza Johnson White listed twice, first as Eliza Johnson White and secondly as Eliza Johnson White II, both with the same birth and death dates. Do we delete one of them or just leave it alone?
The same goes for one of the sources; White Family Bible. There is only one with the information in it. The same question. Delete or leave alone? Thank you for your patience. I will try to do better in the future.
Best regards, Jim:)--Delijim 13:48, 23 August 2015 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Next step: Review your GEDCOM [23 August 2015]You're not done yet! WeRelate is different from most family tree websites.

[add comment] [edit] Two different Arthur Gable and Ann Miller marriages. [1 September 2015]Hi, Wcoup, You seem to have two different Arthur Gables marrying Ann Miller on the same day, neither of whom seems to fit the actual marriage record. You have Arthur Gable who was born about 1858 marrying Ann Miller on 24 Jan 1903 (see Family:Arthur Gable and Anna Miller (1)). The computer tends to get unhappy when something like this happens, as it sees this as a probable duplicate record. Even without the computer getting unhappy, though, it's a good idea to resolve what does, indeed, look like a problem in the information. I looked for a marriage record in Pennsylvania for an Arthur Gable and Ann Miller to see if that would help. I did find a marriage record for an Arthur Gable who married an Anna Miller on 24 January 1903, in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, but according to the marriage license, that Arthur Gable was born September 1872. So the problem is even more confused at this point. One thing I did notice in your source citations is that you don't have any information for either of your Arthur Gables for 1900. You do, however, have a 1920 Census record for the Arthur Gable who was born in 1858, and according to that record, he was still married to his first wife, Elizabeth. I hesitate to try to clean up this problem, as I don't have access to some of the sources you have cited. Could sort it out, please? Thanks, Gayel --GayelKnott 00:58, 29 August 2015 (UTC) I am just as confused as you are about the two Arthur Gables. One has a source of Margaret Stainbrook in her book about the Stainbrook family and marrying an Anna Miller and the other by Davidson in her book about the Frankenfield family having also married an Anna Keller, both on the same date. They are cousins, sons of brothers, but I must admit I don't have a clue about how to solve this. I am puzzled that you stated that you don't find a source for either when they both cite specific books. I must admit that I have done more research, though not as much as needed, on Charles Gable's line since that is my ancestral line. I would suggest that further research needs to be done on both Arthurs lines on their pages and I will try to clear this up when I can.--Wcoup 19:15, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I think I have solved the Arthur E. Gable and Anna Miller problem. In 1920 he was shown married to Elizabeth in Venango County, Pennsylvania. An Arthur Gable married Ann Miller in 1903. I found an Application for Marriage Certificate image on Ancestry.com. It is for Arthur E. Gable, Veterinary Surgeon and Elizabeth Murphy in Venango County, Pennsylvania 5 March 1890 with his parents given as Charles and Nancy Gable. So, I have removed the marriage of Anna Miller and Arthur E. Gable from my file and left the other Arthur Gable and Ann Miller intact for the other Gable. Also, on Family Search I found a daughter for Arthur and Elizabeth Gable, Alice Ann Gable, born 15 September 1894 in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, source "Pennsylvania, Births and Christenings, 1709-1950," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V2N4-BWB : accessed 31 August 2015), Arthur E. Gable in entry for Alice Ann Gable, 15 Sep 1894; Birth, citing Crawford, Pennsylvania; FHL microfilm 910,237. I thin this clears up the Arthur Gable and Ann Miller problem. It is obvious that the Davidson source is wrong. Unfortunately, she is deceased and cannot correct her record in the book.--Wcoup 20:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
By my file I meant my Family Tree Maker on my computer. I think maybe in the future it might be better if I delete the file, make the changes, and then resubmit for sticky problems like these. Is this the right way to do it? That way the WeRelate file will not have my wrong information to possibly mislead someone else. On my Family Tree Maker File I deleted the Anna Miller from Arthur E. Gable as well as that marriage in their record. The marriage for the other Arthur Gable remains with the same date as the other marriage.--Wcoup 13:44, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I have finished reviewing the warnings and, except for the questions about the two Arthur's, feel it should be ready to continue the process.--Wcoup 19:17, 31 August 2015 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] gedcom import [21 February 2016]Hi, I am not sure if this is still relevant, your gedcom upload from last August is still sitting awaiting your review/request to upload, I am currently deleting all old files that have not been worked on for 6 months and wanted to check whether you intend to upload this or not before I delete it. Your last post seems to indicate you think it is ready to import. As it stands there are to many problems I think, lots of places on the places page are not places but some are linked to places, sources do not seem to be linked to existing sources and there are a large number of duplicate families that have not been checked. Reading earlier comments it seems you had some difficulty with 'the WeRelate way' so if I can help please ask me. If I do not hear anything the gedcom will be deleted at the end of this month.Rhian 09:57, 18 February 2016 (UTC) I apologize for dropping the ball. I have two problems; I have been doing genealogy for over 50 years and apparently think I know how to do things right without paying proper attention to how you do things; I am wrong. So can we work together and straighten my mess out? You should know something aabout me. I have been fighting cancer for almost three years with good and bad results. The point being that there may be times when I won't reply to you promptly sometimes. Please be patient with me. Now, where should we start? You are the expert with your program and I will follow you lead. While I wait for your reply, I will start watching your videos.--Wcoup 21:32, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Okay, now I am really confused. As I understand your rules, I am not supposed to make changes on the page but add new information only. Going tab by tab on my GEDCOM. All of the people on my warnings tabs result from things like census records where wives surnames are not shown and so there will be only a given name and I do not have their surnames from any other source and have not pursued it any further. The same goes for the people tab. They are usually children listed in census records that are siblings of my direct relation. It seems to me that they would be useful for others that will tie into someone else's lie and furnish those individuals information on that line going back. The families tab applies the same way. The places tab. As you can see, I have often entered things such as hospitals, addresses and other items in my file. Do you want me to correct each place to the standard genealogical format? [Which I feel is not definitive enough]. I can do that, but it appears to violate your "do not change" rule. The sources tab, as a rule, I always make my sources as complete as possible. I notice that sources such as letters between individuals are not verifiable by you since they are in my personal files. I am guessing that they fall under Myfile. I notice that the list under the Family Matches Tab there are no matches shown which indicates that they are unique and don't match any other families in the WeRelate files. Am I correct in assuming that information on the pages in red indicates incorrect format in some way? I particularly notice that many of my census sources appear to be that way. Do they need to be changed? I recognize that I may be a pain in the neck, but I want to get it right. My intention is to get this right and then submit other GEDCOMS that have been corrected already and save everyone a problem in the future. One other ting. I have done a search on some of my other ancestors and found some real errors in the information on some of them. One in particular is for Colonel William Crawford and his wife Hannah Vance. They could not have been married in Greenburg, Pennsylvania because they lived in the Shenandoah County area of Virginia at the time. Also, I have recently found an error in Colonel Crawford's death place. Most genealogies indicate he was killed in the "Ohio Country" which is what it was known by the locals. A book on Virginia Counties indicates that the area was officially known as Illinois County, Virginia during that time. The death location would also apply to all other soldiers killed during the Sandusky Expedition in 1782. I don't want to throw a monkey wrench into your files, but this would be a major correction for those who died there. It sure would be better if we could actually talk by telephone about some of these questions. If that can be done, my number is 803-337-6230.--Wcoup 18:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
[add comment] [edit] Julia Bucci Gable [14 March 2016]Hello Wcoup, I followed the link you provided and added her obit and changed her named on her page Person:Julia Bucci (1). We do not want to add any living people on WeRelate so please do not add any of her children unless you find an obituary for them. I see there are 2 towns named Meadville so I did not want to choose which one where she was born. Since you are registered with WeRelate you can edit a page directly using the "Edit" button on the left side of the page. Regards, --Susan Irish 07:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC) Thank you. It was not until I sent the message that I realized I could edit it myself. I understand that I shouldn't add living people. My niece died a few years ago. When I create her page do I just ignore the fact that her parents, husband and daughter are named in her obituary as long as I don't create pages for them? Meadville is in Crawford County, Pennsylvania.--Wcoup 08:50, 14 March 2016 (UTC) [add comment] [edit] Hello [7 March 2023]Hi , I am forest Thomas hensel , son of loren T hensel.
