Next step: Review your GEDCOM [29 November 2013]

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 fam2.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.

‎fam5.ged [2 December 2013]

Hello and welcome to WeRelate. Thank you for submitting your gedcom file. I am afraid that there is a problem. WeRelate is based on a shared database and creates a web page for each person. In your file, most of the people don't have events containing dates and places which would enable someone to identify the person. We will not be able to use this file as it is. However, we do encourage you to work on your data. You will need to add at least one date and place (enter the place name as "Jurisdiction, Country") for most of the people in your file. Where such dates are not available you may use an estimated date, i.e. "abt 1830". We also strongly encourage the use of sources. You may like to browse the existing pages and try creating a few by hand to get familiar with how WeRelate works. A list of recent featured pages is available from the WeRelate home. These will provide some examples of what is possible. And, finally, as a reminder, we do not create pages for living people. If you have any questions about your gedcom, you can reply here.--Khaentlahn 18:39, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Theunis Eliasen Van Bunschoten [12 March 2017]

Hello, Cousin!

My name is Melissa and Theunis was my 8th Great-Grandfather. Down through his son, Gerrit, grandson, Jacobus, great-grandson, Anthony, 2nd great-grandson Caleb and 3rd great-grandson George.

A lot of what I have compiled is also from other internet sources - mostly on Ancestry.com, but also from the published book "Concerning the Van Bunschoten Or Van Benschoten Family in America: A Genealogy and Brief History" written by William Henry Van Bunschoten, as well as extending my knowledge of my side of the family, which I am interested in not only for my benefit but also that of my 7 children. If you have an ancestry.com account, I'd be happy to share a link for you to see further along the family line.--MomOf4G5B 19:33, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
