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.

Error importing Baldwin2007.zip

We had an error while attempting to import Baldwin2007.zip. This is most likely our fault. We will review the error and should have your pages ready tomorrow (or Monday if tomorrow falls on a weekend). There is no need to re-import your GEDCOM file.

File uploaded not a GEDCOM

I noticed that you uploaded a zipped personal ancestral file instead of a GEDCOM; currently, WeRelate only supports importing GEDCOM files. Here are directions for exporting a GEDCOM from personal ancestral file. -Nathan 14:15, 29 March 2007 (MDT)

Error importing Baldwin.paf

Directions on Uploading a GEDCOM

Thanks for using WeRelate.org! I just noticed that you tried to upload a Personal Ancestral File (PAF) formatted file. In order to import your genealogy, you must upload a GEDCOM instead. Here are some directions for doing this:

Launch the personal ancestral file program
Open your file, "Baldwin.paf"
Choose Export... from the File menu. Select what you want to include and press the Export... button.
The above should have created a new GEDCOM file in the directory you choose.
Upload your new GEDCOM file to WeRelate by following the directions linked here.

Dotson and Estep [2 August 2009]

Hi, there appears to be a problem with your pages on Person:Godfrey Dotson (1) and Family:Godfrey Dotson and Louanza Estep (1). Note that this Godfrey Dotson, according to your page, was born on 1856 and married in 1847. Family: Godfrey Dotson and Louanza Estep (2) also married in 1847 and Family:William Dotson and Louisa Estep (1) married in 1846. Would you kindly check these pages and if there are errors please correct them. I am a Volunteer Administrator with WeRelate. I am currently working on the Duplicate Review Project ( merging pages). Thanks. --Beth 09:30, 2 August 2009 (EDT)
