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 would make navigating your tree very slow.

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.

Willmores [25 August 2011]

Hi Gayle. Have just registered with 'Werelate' and am interested in the Willmore family tree. I'm not sure whether it is your tree, or whether you are just 'watching' the tree. I am interested in the notes which say that the Willmores were 1820 Settlers. Perhaps I have missed something, but I don't see them on the Settler lists of 1820Settlers.com. I don't know when Gregory came to the Cape, only that he was here in 1827. Can you help me? Regards flickw--Flickw 00:21, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Thomas Towell [10 May 2012]

Hi Gayle

I have been researching my mother's family and have found you entry from Thomas Towell (b.1796) - I was aware that he had married twice but did not have knowledge of a third marriage.

Do you have any details of where his marriages to Elizabeth took place. The only detail I can find is that the last Elizabeth was born in Stogumber, Somerset c1814.
