Next step: Review your GEDCOM [20 October 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 KrisWalkerTree.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.

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.

Reviewing your gedcom file [25 October 2010]

Hello and welcome to WeRelate. I took a look at your gedcom upload and I see that your pages have a lot of information from your personal database. I suggest that before you begin working on this file in Review, you try using some different options for your desktop export to see if you can surpress the change dates and other non-genealogical tags. Also you have one warning that should be attended to as it reflects a likely error. As you review, please keep in mind that WeRelate is not a gedcom site. Your data will be merged into a shared database and also a web page will be created for each person, family and source that isn't matched with an existing page. Therefore we ask that you take your time with reviewing the file before import. Thanks and enjoy! --Judy (jlanoux) 10:35, 25 October 2010 (EDT) (WeRelate volunteer)
