Next step: Review your GEDCOM [12 December 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 hester.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 is being approved [13 December 2010]

Thank you for your patience while WeRelate volunteer admins review your uploaded GEDCOM.

We've had to add manual, human review due to the uploading of too many bad files.

Your file is in pretty good shape.

You have a few merges to examine and merge where appropriate.

Our greatest concern is the lack of any source documentation, and we hope you will add this information in short order.

In the meantime, enjoy participating in WeRelate and be sure to ask for help if you should need any.

Sincerely,

hester.ged Imported Successfully [13 December 2010]

The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully. You may now:

• launch the Family Tree Explorer to navigate your tree
• view your network -- If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families, find out to which other WeRelate users you are related.
• view related pages not in your tree -- If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families, find out which people you are now related to that you can add to your tree (takes awhile to display for large trees).
• view a searchable list of the pages in your tree -- The searchable list will be available about an hour after your tree has been imported.

For questions or problems, leave a message for Dallan or send an email to dallan@WeRelate.org.

You're welcome:) [14 December 2010]

Got your message, glad to help. Be sure to add dates, places and especially sources for as many persons that you add to WeRelate. It makes it much easier to find them when there is sufficient information.
