Q. How do I add people and dates?
A. Sometimes the need will arise for you to manually add a
person rather than uploading a GEDCOM file (see GEDCOM instructions
help file). To do this, you first need to be logged into the tree. Once
you've done that, visit the first page of your tree (your website
address) and look in the upper right corner where the log-in link
usually is. You should see something that looks like the following:
You are logged in as 'admin'
home | logout | preferences
add a new person
Click that add a new person link and you're good to go!
All of
the fields on the next page should be self explanatory. Be sure to
enter in the person's name as FirstName LastName as the script will
take the last word in that spot and make that the person's last name.
Note: it is also always easier to add a child after the parents
have been created, if possible, as on every edit page there will be
drop down lists for the parents. Select the parents for the person you
are entering and any siblings will automatically be linked to their
page.
