▼ Next step: Review your GEDCOM [20 November 2011]

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 Torodd.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.

▼ Kvernelv/Kværnelv [20 November 2011]

Hello Miktor, I noticed that you added new place pages for Norway. Can you tell me if Place:Kvernelv, Nordreisa, Troms, Norway and Place:Kværnelv, Nordreisa, Troms, Norway are the same location? If they are, we would only create 1 place page, and list alternate spellings on that page. Thank you, --Jennifer (JBS66) 10:11, 20 November 2011 (EST)

▼ Your recent gedcom [30 November 2011]

Hi,

I've reviewed your recent gedcom. There are a number of warnings and errors that need to be addressed before this gedcom can be imported. We recommend that you use the Warning tab as a work list and fix the problems in your personal database, either by correcting the information or removing it. Not all warnings represent real problems, but most do. Once you've corrected the problems, remove this gedcom (click "Remove this GEDCOM" from the Overview tab), and upload a new one.

Please review the videos and tutorials and get familiar with WeRelate. WeRelate is not just a collection of user files like most gedcom sites. WeRelate is a single, shared database with a single web page created for each person and each family. As a courtesy to other users, we request that problems be fixed prior to importing your file. We want you to publish your best work.

After correcting problems and uploading a new gedcom, the next step is to review potential matches between people in your gedcom and existing pages on WeRelate. If a person in your gedcom already has a page in WeRelate, you must match them. We ask that you use caution and review the existing page before making changes to it. Some pages have been worked on extensively by WeRelate users. Others, quite frankly, are a mess because of earlier gedcoms dumped into the database. You are encouraged to help clean these up, but we ask that you include sources for your data.

If you have any questions, you can reply here. I will be watching your Talk Page. If I do not hear from you by December 15th, your gedcom will be removed.

Best regards, one of the volunteer admin's.--Dallan 11:58, 30 November 2011 (EST)
