How (if at all) does WeRelate differ from my genealogy software?
WeRelate is not a replacement for your genealogy software that you run on your home computer. Such programs are built to give you greater control about what you do and don’t include in your genealogy file. (For example, WeRelate disallows pages for living people.) In addition, genealogy programs, unlike WeRelate, give you the ability to make and even customize a variety of reports and charts that WeRelate does not support. Use WeRelate as an add-on tool to share and collaborate with others. Upload your GEDCOM to WeRelate (see below), then as changes are made on the WeRelate version, you can copy and paste those pieces you would like to have in your desktop file (giving proper attribution to the contributors of course). WeRelate does support the ability to export GEDCOMs to your desktop, but this should be used to replace or add an entire branch of your tree, not as a means to keep your desktop version up to date.
