Next step: Review your GEDCOM [11 July 2010]

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 mitchell_2010.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.

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 lines 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.

Robert Maw born 1788 [29 October 2011]

I think that John Maw, the father of the Robert Maw who was baptized in 1788 in Thornton Dale, was the John Maw who was baptized in 1736 in Lockton. The father and brother of this John Maw (both named William) were both blacksmiths working in Thornton Dale. The brother was baptized in 1734 in Ellerburn. There is a National Burial Index record for a John Maw buried in Ellerburn in 1822, aged 86.

There is a (I think garbled) tradition related in a family history by a descendant of the William Maw baptized in 1734 in Ellerburn, published in 1968 when the author was 90, that the family of Robert Maw of Georgetown, Ontario was related to the William Maw baptized in 1734.(In the book, it is stated that the bridesmaid of Elizabeth Maw Sadler, the granddaughter of the William Maw baptized in 1734, was "Elizabeth's first cousin, May Maw, the wife of George Barber of Georgetown, who made the lovely stationery now known as Barber and Ellis Stationery." I assume the reference is in reality to the wife of Joseph Barber, Maria Maw, who was, I think, Elizabeth Sadler's 2nd cousin. (And I don't think she could have been the bridesmaid at the wedding, having been born in Canada, to where Elizabeth Sadler didn't emigrate until after her wedding.)

I have put up a page for the John Maw who was baptized in 1734. I could merge if you agree.--Werebear 13:24, 29 October 2011 (EDT)


Christina Gordon / Hendrie question [29 March 2014]

Hi

I may be way off track here but my name is Rob Smith, live in East coast of Scotland and have a question regarding Christina Hendrie, do you know if Christina was a Carpenter as i have purchased and restored a piece of furniture after which we discovered a small brass plaque with the Carved by Christina M Hendrie with the date 1886 and Homestead, Canada on it and really interested to find out the story behind this piece of furniture.


Many Thanks.--Esras01 08:27, 18 January 2014 (UTC)


Hi, I've just come across your message.

I do not know if Christina was a carpenter, and nothing has come down through family history to suggest she was. But the clues you mention are compelling. As you probably know she was from north Scotland Christina Gordon but came to Canada married to Alexander Hendrie in 1871. In 1886 she was living in Hamilton Ontario, but in what I'd call a house as opposed to a homestead. Perhaps they called it a homestead, but she lived in an urban area in a narrow 2 or 3 storey house. Her husband was a contractor. I do not know her middle name though her mother's maiden name was McPherson. Well that's all I have to add. 'Homestead' sounds more rural to me though it may be what they called their house in Hamilton. I would be interested in hearing more if you get more clues. Thanks, Bruce Mitchell.--Bwmitch 14:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Naming places in WeRelate [27 October 2016]

Hi

I found your family because I was tidying up some placenames in County Durham, England--where there is a small hamlet named "Toronto" (the reason is in Wikdipedia). Every time you don't put Ontario, Canada after Toronto, the place record falls into the information of people who lived in Toronto, Durham, England (because Durham is closer to the front of the alphabet than Ontario, or York (for York County)).

I am originally from Toronto, Ontario, so it is quite easy to spot these problems, but there are a lot of them to fix and it would be far better if you made these corrections than me. Remember, when you put your family on any website like WeRelate you are showing it to an audience that covers the whole world. Many names of places get duplicated.

Also, would you look through the WR instructions on how to employ Sources. Many of your Canadian sources can be promoted from MySource to Source with the complete entries available on the web for free. Expanding the information you give is helpful to all users.

Looking through other user's notes on this page I have just found a couple of crazy coincidences: My maiden name is Lyle (used in the message just above this one) and my gg grandfather Henry Lyle married a Martha Maw. They emigrated from the North Riding of Yorkshire to old Ontario County, Ontario (now Durham Region) around 1830. User:Werebear and I have not found any connection between his family and mine despite the Yorkshire places being very close together.
