[3] WeRelate is supported by the Foundation for On-Line Genealogy and the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

[3] The system produces a comparison screen for likely candidates, allowing users to determine if subjects are the same person; duplicate pages for common ancestors can be merged at upload.

[1] WeRelate has over 926,000 Source pages[citation needed] which contain reference and access information along with relevant links.

Users may also create MySource pages for references relevant to only their research, such as family bibles, birth, death, and marriage certificates.

Compared to other projects that let people publish and share similar data, WeRelate focuses on sourcing files with links to primary genealogy records, and rather than letting users maintain separate personal family trees, aims to align data from different sources into a unified global record.
