How Do You Relate?

Prior to making any corrections or additions, you must first be logged into the website. 

To add a new person, click on the edit tab on any individual's page. Click on the "Add New" tab, then fill out the form that appears. Some information (notes, citations, associations and additional events) can be added after saving the record. Take note of the following:

We only have one Tree so you can ignore this pop-up. Branches have not been assigned so you can also ignore this popup.

The Person ID must be unique and should consist of an upper case I followed by a number (no more than 21 digits). An available, unique ID will be supplied when the page is first displayed. If it is not, click "Generate" and the next sequential unique ID will be created. This will locate the highest number in your database and add 1. To ensure that the displayed ID is not claimed by another user while you're entering the data, click the Lock button.

Enter the individual's First/Given Name(s) and/or Last/Surname. Middle names should be included with First/Given Name(s). If the person has a title, enter the prefix portion in the box labeled Surname Prefix. If this person was a junior or senior, enter the suffix portion of the individual's name in the Surname Suffix box.

Enter as much of this information as you have available. A Nickname is an informal name sometimes associated with the individual. A Title is used in front of the name (e.g., Sir or Captain) but is not part of the name. A Prefix is used in front of the name and is usually considered part of the name. A Suffix is used after the name (e.g., M.D. or Esquire). 

If this person is alive, or if you wish to restrict access to this person's data to users who are logged in with rights to see living data, check this box. NOTE: Please do not enter private information unless it is you or your immediate family.

Enter dates and places for the standard events listed (if known). Additional events can be added after the record is saved or locked. Always enter dates in the standard genealogical format, DD MMM YYYY (for example, 18 Feb 2008). List place information from local to general, separating each locality by a comma (for example, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts), or select an existing place name by clicking "Find" icon (magnifying glass). To limit the number of results found, enter part of the place name before clicking the Find icon. All results will contain what you entered in the place name.
