User talk:Karen Theriot Reader

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.

Cyprien Duon (1) [8 October 2009]

Hi Karen -- Just wanted to give you a heads up that I will be linking my Duhon Louisiana family pages to your Duon Canada pages. Cyprien Duon is in my direct line. Best regards, Annette--Aberksan 16:29, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Person:Pierre Thibodeau (2) [8 February 2010]

Hi Karen -- just wanted to let you know that I found a duplicate for Pierre Thibodeau, so I merged Person:Pierre Thibodeau (25) into Person:Pierre Thibodeau (2), keeping the information for Pierre (2) intact. Best regards, Annette--Aberksan 18:08, 8 February 2010 (EST)

Cleaning up my pages [30 September 2020]

Hi Karen, I'm working on cleaning up my tree (finally retired and have time to do research). I would like to add source information and citations to some of the pages you created. I hope you don't mind. Thanks in advance!--aberksan 17:48, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
