Next step: Review your GEDCOM [31 January 2012]

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 Smith_2012-01-31.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.

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.

Your Gedcom [2 February 2012]

Hello, I am a volunteer admin and it's my job to help new users. I reviewed your gedcom. There are some problems. First, we do not allow imports for persons born before 1750. For individuals born before 1750, the information must be entered manually. Second, there seems to be some errors in the file, i.e.

• Aaron Huntley was born 1680 and is 8th generation from the root
• Mary Wells was born 1844 and is 7th generation from the root
• Henrietta Hodgson was born 1805 and is 4th from the root

Obviously this is impossible. There are many such instances.

Also there are numerous generations without place or date information to identify them.

I think you have linked to some people with the same name who were born in different generations. WeRelate is a shared database. The problem is that when you merge erroneous data into WeRelate data, it confuses everyone. We will not be able to use this gedcom. We encourage you to divide up your large gedcom into smaller pieces and check your data, then resubmit. We also encourage the use of sources. If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions.--sq 12:33, 2 February 2012 (EST)
