Welcome

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor web pages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.

Video Tour

We strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes taking our video tour. It provides a brief overview of how to use the features of WeRelate. A little time spent here may save you time later.

Create Webpages

The next thing to do is launch Family Tree Explorer, then select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and give your family tree a name. You can either upload your GEDCOM or create person and family pages one at a time. To upload your GEDCOM, select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and then click on Import and choose the GEDCOM file to import. The system will create an editable web page for each person and family in your GEDCOM. To create a page manually, select Add in the Family Tree Explorer menu and click on Add new person; enter the given (first name) and surname (last name), select Add, then fill in the blanks and save.

The Family Tree Explorer is a Flash application and will need to use some space in your computer to cache the files. That's computer talk for "If you store some ancestor page information on your computer, you will be able to view more pages faster. Otherwise, the system has to fetch each page every time you edit or look at it. This would make navigating your tree very slow.

Connect with other genealogists

You should always sign in when you are editing or adding pages. Use the signature button (second button from the in the menu bar above the edit box) to sign your comments on discussion pages. That way others with similar interests can find you. If you click on the blue user name on any page, you will go to that person's home page. You can leave a message on his/her Discussion page. The Discussion page button is in the light green second level menu bar above.

Shared research pages

Shared research pages act like specialized message boards. Be care to use only one name spelling and one location in the title. This will help your cousins search the page. For more information see Shared research pages.

[14 October 2007]

Hello Mlcd Thank you for posting your gedcom on We Relate.

I am very interested in the Van Norman and Everitt families of Pennsylvania and Ontario and the Cummins family of New Jersey and Ontario. My brother and I have been studying these families and ohers since the early 1960's.

I have slowly (page-by-page) been posting material about the family of Catharine Cummins and Isaac Van Norman. Today I discovered your page for Abner Norwood Everett Van Norman.

I know of no evidence for a third name (Norwood) for Abner Everitt Van Norman. He was referred to in documents as Abner E. Van Norman. He was named after his uncle, Abner Everitt, who was the husband of Hannah Cummins, his mothers's sister. His mother was Catharine Cummins. Catharine and Hannah were daughters of Daniel Cummins. The Norwood name popped up recently in several trees on Roots web. This may be due to a misreading of some histories which have suggested that Abner (or another family member) lived in Norwood. I cannot find evidence that he did.

Please share any evidence you might have about his extra name.

Abner married again after the death of Catharine. Both of his families are described in my We Relate pages which we will have to try to merge somehow some time. Cheers Ray Cummins Mississauga ON Canada--Wrcummins 17:22, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Parris/Hatfield family [19 December 2012]

My great grandparents were Jesse William and Sarah Amanda Hatfield....I notice my grandmothers name is wrong, should be Vada Estelene not Bada. They have my mom listed under my grandmothers second husband and she should be under the first husband part of list. I created an acct here, would like to know how I could get permission to add to the linege.....like adding my mothers side of info, her marriages, and her kids and grandkids etc....would you know how I could go about doing that?

You may contact me at

jackie.zufall@gmail.com

be sure to put hatfield/Parris in subject line as I get a lot of email and tend to look to subject line for what important and what is not.

thanks much.

My mother by the way was Barbara Faye Wise, daughter of Martin Wise and Vada Estelene (Parris) Wise. She had a brother Darrell Grey Wise. He passed as an 18 month old baby.

thanks again,

Welcome to WeRelate. I have the marriage record for Mayte and Howard. "Illinois, Cook County Marriages, 1871-1968," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q21L-H4KZ : 28 November 2018), Howard Jester and Mayte Josephine Himes, 13 Dec 1941; citing Marriage, Cook, Illinois, United States, citing Cook County Clerk.

Alfred J. Jester, I can't find him in Mayte's time frame. I did find "New Jersey, County Marriages, 1682-1956," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VW5N-7V9 : 23 February 2021), Alfred Jester and Jane Ann Brown, 23 Jan 1871; citing Atlantic, New Jersey, New Jersey State Archives, Trenton; FHL microfilm 441,451.
