Hi, I am an admin for WeRelate. Its my job to help people learn how to use the site. I notice you had some red place links. I linked your events to the proper place page. Just FYI, I don't know if you care, but if you want to map your ancestor's life, the place links need to be blue (that means they link to an existing place page) and the place page needs to have latitude and longitude. So, if you type the name of the smaller jurisdiction (town or county--whatever you have)in the place field followed by a comma and a space, then wait just a few moments, all the places in the world with that name will appear on the list. Pick the right one and it will automatically link to the place page. If that place page already has the coordinates on it, then birth, marriage, death will appear on the pedi-map. If you need help or want to comment, please leave me a message. Thanks so much for participating and sharing your research.--sq 23:40, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
