Next step: Review your GEDCOM [2 January 2021]

You're not done yet!

Now that you have uploaded Test.ged into our review program, it is time for you to match your data to ours. Your next step is to review and resolve any potential warnings that your file might be showing and to match place names, source names and families to pages that may already exist in our database.

Notes:

• You must complete all the steps before your GEDCOM can be considered for import. - We will keep your file in the queue for three months to give you time to finish, and you do not have to finish all at once.
• If you did not follow the instructions for preparing your data before uploading your file or if your file does not contain at least one date and place for each person with sources, it is likely that your file will be rejected.
• Volunteers are here to help. Please read the instructions first, but if you get stuck or have any questions, you can leave a message on the page for the GEDCOM review team. One of our volunteers will respond shortly.
• Once you have completed the review and marked your GEDCOM Ready to import on the last screen, one of our volunteer administrators will review the file again and finalize the import. This usually happens within 24-48 hours. Please allow a little extra time around the holidays. When the import is finalized, you will receive a follow up message here on your Talk page.

GEDCOM: review comments [5 January 2021]

Hi, I've been reviewing your Howery.ged submission. Although the lack of source references is disappointing, the Gedcom looks just about ready for final import. There is one area though, that I would like you to go over first as discussed below, because as it is there would be some important family information dropped if we went ahead now.

I see that you confirmed matches on the five Howery families that the system identified as possible matches in the existing WeRelate database. That was good, but there is an additional step that it seems you didn't notice or decided to skip: updating the existing database records. The way the import system works, the matched families and the matched family members do not get imported when the final import is done (because they already exist). However your Gedcom file may have additional or better information than the existing WeRelate database has, and so there is an update phase available after declaring a family as a match. I looked at a couple of your five Howery matches, and indeed you have some good looking information in there that's currently missing. For instance, the first listed matched family, that of Dudley and Mary Hazel, has in your Gedcom a bunch of residence, emigration, and other events for Dudley and for Mary Hazel. Unless you indicate that you want to update the database with that data, it won't happen. You indicate what should be updated by clicking on the matched family entry, which will bring up an "Update pages" display in the lower half of the window. On the left is the information in your Gedcom; on the right the current database data is shown. As you scroll the lower half, you can select items (like the 1920 residence in Humphrey, Neb.) by checking the box next to the item. When you get to the bottom of the list (having selected all the items you want to get into the WeRelate records), you'll find an "Update" button at the bottom. Click that and the WeRelate database will be updated with the new information (immediately, not later at the main import).

So I'm sure you would want your carefully collected data for these matched Howery families to be included, so I will return the Gedcom to you for that update process. You can then again make the file "Ready for Import" and it should then get imported.
