WeRelate is a free public-service wiki for genealogy sponsored by the Foundation for On-Line Genealogy, Inc. in partnership with the Allen County Public Library. We are the world's largest genealogy wiki with pages for over 2.000,000 people/families and growing.
Our goal is to be the #1 community website for genealogy. At WeRelate you can connect with other researchers and cooperatively work on web pages for your ancestors.
Your research can be documented completely online. You can
- upload GEDCOM files,
- upload and annotate scanned documents and photos,
- include family stories and biographies,
- generate maps of your ancestors' life events.
WeRelate is currently in beta, and is funded by your tax-deductible donations. |

Amelia Gerlicher
Amelia started doing genealogy research using her father's paper files as a teenager about 15 years ago and went online shortly thereafter. She spent several years in Boston which allowed her to build out her New England lines. When progress there slowed, she turned to researching lines in the Morrow DNA Project, of which she is a co-administrator.
Amelia uses WeRelate to collect findings on the DNA project and to continue to build out connections between her New England lines. She has made many valuable contributions to the Watercooler, Source committee, and Source review pages, and has merged a number of duplicate person and family pages in the New England area. Because of her contributions, WeRelate is a better place for everyone to do genealogy.
Leave Amelia a message to thank her and find out more!

Call for Volunteers
We are looking for volunteers to help clean up thousands of source pages in anticipation of a free "Research Assistant" - a goal set for 2009. Read more about this project. Any questions or problems can be discussed on the talk page. It's a big project and any volunteer time you can offer, even if it's only a few minutes a day, will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
July 21, 2008
We have new search functionality! Search on a variety of fields, sort by best-match (the default), by title, or by date last modified. Pages are indexed within an hour or two of being edited. Also, adding person, family, or source pages now gives you a chance to see if a matching page already exists in the wiki before creating a new page.
Feedback
We'd love your feedback! Talk about how to make WeRelate better at the Watercooler, or leave a message for Dallan or Solveig.
