Ready to Import [11 January 2021]
I fixed all that could be fixed and do not understand why the Ready to Import link is greyed out. The warning that surnames of couples are the same is because they ARE the same. Is there something I am still missing?--Mars 21:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Ready to Import link isn't greyed out when I look at it. Try again. I don't know if there is a time lag in enabling the button. (or maybe your session timed out and you weren't signed in when you looked at that tab) - not sure what happened.--DataAnalyst 23:15, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- DataAnalyst, my belief is that the "Ready to Import" button would not ever be greyed out for you because you are an Admin. --robert.shaw 10:11, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Mars, I've begun a topic on your personal talk page to discuss this, as it may take a fair bit of back-and-forth to narrow down the issue. --robert.shaw 10:11, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your continuing assistance.--Mars 14:52, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Error on Save [11 December 2021]
Hi I am trying to correct my warnings which are mostly gender and every time I save it I get n. contains is not a function. The gender changes but it does not disappear off my warnings list--Crystaleng 19:58, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- Crystaleng, from looking around it seems that you are trying to continue from where you were a year ago November. At that time, you were working on a GEDCOM that you had uploaded in October of 2020 but had not yet corrected some errors so that it could be imported. I'm sorry but that GEDCOM upload is too old to continue working on now; GEDCOM uploads need to be submitted and imported within 90 days of the upload. Your old GEDCOM upload is now in a limbo state where I can't access it and it needs to be abandoned and replaced with a new GEDCOM upload (of the same or an updated GEDCOM file).
- By the way, the software has had a major change since October 2020. Adobe Flash is no longer supported, and the replacement does not use it. When you upload a new GEDCOM, the message that will appear on your talk page about reviewing will have a link that takes you to the new software interface. The interface is quite similar, but differs in small details from the Flash version. --robert.shaw 05:27, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Edit button during gedcom review? [16 January 2023]
Hi - I am unable to locate the edit button when doing the gedcom review.
I go to warnings - click the warning I want to fix.
The profile I want to edit shows up at the bottom of the screen. But there's no edit button, the way there is on the website? Am I doing something wrong?--Ezrah 05:23, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. I notice you don't have a GEDCOM waiting for processing, so maybe you already found the edit link - right under the page title, below the top menu.--DataAnalyst 16:16, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
Clarification on policy [8 March 2023]
I have uploaded before and it appears there is a generation between my uploaded information and what is already accepted in WeRelate. I would like to bridge this gap, but the generation is before 1750 (barely), and is automatically excluded from import. I would prefer NOT to enter these people by hand, and have a waiting import where these people are waiting. I have included only this generation and want to connect the generation by hand once it is imported. Is this an exception to the rule that you can allow? Or must I enter these people by hand? They are from a source that I have cited, and is also available onsite at Family Search. Within that book is the research supporting the data.

- If the family you want to add is barely before 1750, you may be able to add people into your Gedcom file which will allow all the family members in question to be added. This is because there is a boundary-case provision in the software that excludes early people from import: if any child in a family is born after 1750, then all members of the family they were born into are included rather than excluded. Perhaps the people you're trying to import are in a family that has such a child but you did not include the child in the Gedcom because the child would duplicate an existing WeRelate Person (since it is often not useful to include such duplicates, despite the matching mechanism typically handling the duplicate). Or perhaps the people belong to a family which has such a post-1750 child, but you simply didn't include the child as they are on a line that is not a focus of your research. If this applies, you should be able to have the family members imported by including the child. --robert.shaw 19:45, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- robert.shaw is correct that if your family is just a little before 1750, you can add them by following his instructions. In case that doesn't work, I believe I've temporarily given you permission to upload your gedcom with pre-1750 people. Please let me know when you've done this or if there are further problems. It's been awhile since I've granted this type of permission; I hope I did it correctly.--Dallan 04:59, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
I submitted my GEDCOM just before you added this comment. Hopefully, someone can verify the file and submit it. Adding a child or two did help, but did not help with the parents of the generation that bridged 1750. So, to connect with what is there I'll need to overcome both generations in the file. I'll accept whatever happens and link up the results when the GEDCOM is imported.--Stoney7path 15:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- I just checked GEDCOM review and I don't see anything more recent than March 1st. Can I assume the GEDCOM has been imported?--Dallan 04:01, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
My GEDCOM has imported successfully! Thank you! I have cleaned up the dupes and added relationships as needed.--Stoney7path 12:36, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Good to hear!--Dallan 02:56, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
