Next step: Review your GEDCOM [7 March 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 suzann.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.

Gedcom file [9 March 2011]

Hello and welcome to WeRelate. I have reviewed your file and I would like you to see if you can fix a problem before we import it into the shared database. You file has many tags that are personal to you such as Create dates and Change dates. These are not appropriate for the shared web pages and clutter up the pages. It would be much easier if you could redo your gedcom using options to exclude these from the export. Any program that creates these tags should have a way to exclude them. Then you can remove your current gedcom and upload a new one. Thanks. --Judy (jlanoux) 20:19, 9 March 2011 (EST) (WeRelate volunteer)

suzann.ged Imported Successfully [13 March 2011]

The pages from your GEDCOM have been generated successfully. You may now:

• launch the Family Tree Explorer to navigate your tree
• view your network -- If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families, find out to which other WeRelate users you are related.
• view related pages not in your tree -- If you matched families in your GEDCOM to existing families, find out which people you are now related to that you can add to your tree (takes awhile to display for large trees).
• view a searchable list of the pages in your tree -- The searchable list will be available about an hour after your tree has been imported.

For questions or problems, leave a message for Dallan or send an email to dallan@WeRelate.org.

Problem with labels in your file [13 March 2011]

Hello, Thank you for trying again to upload your gedcom. The new one has the same problem. So I will assume that you have it in your data, perhaps from a previous import. It will be necessary for you to clean up the new pages. Import should be complete. In addition, I see that many of your pages have only a birth year and no places. It is necessary to have additional information to make these people recognizable in a shared space. Please remember that you have created web pages and take due care to make them more useful to the fellow researchers. --Judy (jlanoux) 16:05, 13 March 2011 (EDT) (WeRelate volunteer)
