Welcome

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor web pages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.

Video Tour

We strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes taking our video tour. It provides a brief overview of how to use the features of WeRelate. A little time spent here may save you time later. There are also in-depth text tutorials available from the Help button.

Create Webpages

The next 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 an 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 (second button from the right in the menu bar above the edit box) to sign your comments on discussion pages. 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.

Shared research pages

Shared research pages act like specialized message boards. Be careful to use only one name spelling and one location in each field; do not use abbreviations. Including postal codes and multiple spellings, names, or locations in these fields will cause your pages to be improperly indexed. It will make it harder for your cousins to find your pages and work with you. For more information see Shared research pages.

Merging research

We seem to be researching the same individuals. I've been creating pages for a lot of the Thomas Rogers line from the Mayflower, and I ran across existing pages from your GEDCOM import. If you'd like to work together on merging them, leave me a message on my Talk page. --Joeljkp 18:59, 24 April 2007 (MDT)

Hi! I'll put contact info on my User page. It'd be great if you could kind of follow behind what I'm doing to help clean up some of the pages. It's hard to tell from the existing pages what information came from what sources, etc., and if the placement and wording of everything is significant or not, so I just end up trying to save all your info more or less exactly like it is. It's cool to get my first connection on the site! --Joeljkp 09:19, 10 May 2007 (MDT)

Anne Howard (8) [24 January 2010]

If this person is Anne Howard shouldn't the Family: Edward Dorsey and Anne Unknown (1) be Family: Edward Dorsey and Anne Howard (1)

Dorsey [25 January 2012]

Hi,

I'm here on werelate.org because my surname is Cowan, and I'm a member of a Y-DNA project. I participate in the "Cowan Tapestry" section of this site, run by Bill Willis.

On a lark, I started putting in other surnames from my family tree, and immediately found Dorsey. I have found two Dorsey relatives, one via Ancestry (a documented 4th cousin), and one from a 23&me Relative Finder match, a 6th cousin.

Interested in interacting with other Dorsey descendants.--Ceez 09:24, 25 January 2012 (EST)

Dorsey descendant - Hi, there. I don't have any Cowans in my family tree and I am not closely related to Dorsey so probably will not match in the DNA or mtDNA lines. My brother, Jeff Tarrant, did DNA for me and it is on FamilyTreeDNA and Ancestry.com. My Dorsey connection actually stems from Elizabeth Kennedy; her daughter, Amelia Juliana Long married Thomas B Worthington. His father was James Worthington; his father was Samuel Worthington; his father was Charles Worthington; his mother was Sarah Howard and her maother was Sarah Dorsey. I have not worked on my WeRelate page in a long time but hope to get it updated this year. If any person I've mentioned here is of a help to you and you think I can help you can contact me directly at peggytrobinson1947@gmail.com Good luck in your family history research.--Peggytrobinson 10:05, 25 January 2012 (EST)

www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:John_Chapman_%282%29 [9 February 2020]

"John was probably the eldest son, and removed from New London to Colchester in 1706 with his family, where he was living in May, 1748, when it was noted that he would be 95 years old the next November."

Given the above, shouldn't his birth year be listed as 1653 instead of 1663?
