Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Please be patient. Thank you.
Please remember that there are multiple people born in Scotland and other areas with the same names. Middle Names was not used for the time period when you have added Daniel David McNair (1748-abt.1811) to this family.
If you are including sources from Scotlands People, please review the citation examples in the Help Page for the correct format. Entering Scotlands People with a Ref # is not sufficient for anyone else to find the same source. Names and locations are frequently not what is in profiles - https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Scotland_-_Sourcing_Help&public=1#Example_Citations_Specific_to_Scotland
You should not change relationships, dates, etc, without reliable sources, especially on profiles where you are NOT the PM. Those type of changes should be discussed with the PM first. Remember that a marriage source does not guarantee it is for the person's profile, unless you have parents included in a birth source and then in the marriage source. Also, please review dates and ages. Do you think McNair-303 married at age 13 and started having children at that age?
DNA matches back in the 1700s are very difficult to prove unless you have reliable sources. You should also review some of the DNA Help Pages since you have added Triangulated DNA on several profiles, but they do not necessarily match sources or requirements.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Pre-1700 ancestors can be shared by many descendants, so collaboration is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
The United States Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles that you manage or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).
