Welcome

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor webpages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.

Create Webpages

The first thing to do is launch Family Tree Explorer, then select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and give your family tree a name. You can either upload your GEDCOM or create person and family pages one at a time. To upload your GEDCOM, select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and then click on Import and choose the GEDCOM file to import. The system will create a editable web page for each person and family in your GEDCOM. To create a page manually, select Add in the Family Tree Explorer menu and click on Add new person; enter the given (first name) and surname (last name), select Add, then fill in the blanks and save.

The Family Tree Explorer is a Flash application and will need to use some space in your computer to cache the files. That's computer talk for "If you store some ancestor page information on your computer, you will be able to view more pages faster. Otherwise, the system has to fetch each page every time you edit or look at it. This caching is not permanent and only lasts as long as you are at WeRelate each time.

Connect with other genealogists

You should always sign in when you are editing or adding pages. Use the signature button to sign your work (the swiggle, second from the right, above the edit box). That way others with similar interests can find you. If you click on the blue user name on any page, you will go to that person's home page. You can leave a message on his/her Discussion page. The Discussion page button is in the light green second level menu bar above.

Leo Hellings & Stella Triplett [25 August 2013]

I'm trying to figure out who the father of my great grandma Lois Triplett was. Her mother's name was Stella Triplett and she was around 16 when she gave birth to Lois in Clarkston, WA out of wedlock. Rumor has it, her father was an older man. But I came across this connection and saw that Leo Hellings lived in Clarkston, WA and had a child with a Stella Triplett. I do know that Stella did not stay with Lois' father, and that Stella's parents raised Lois.

If you can help me I would really appreciate it. I've scoured the internet with no success.--Rabbitbfpd 19:58, 25 August 2013 (EDT)
