trying hand at inline

Question

Hoping I got this right I am starting to add spouse and children to them and decided to give the inline a try. any advice is appreciated,

Answer 1

Looks great!  It’s definitely a little scary, but once you’ve  done a few it gets easier.  If you get confused or get an error, clicking the “Enhanced Editor” button at the bottom of the text box can help.

Answer 2

My advice is to use the preview button frequently. I often find I've made an error when editing things. You can see quickly if you've made a mistake. It's harder to spot it you've added several references before checking.

Answer 3

I revamped this one https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Miller-19278. Kind of confusion on her spouse so many similarities but the name and parents. So I detached and noted in the bio.

Comments

You mean you detached the wrong spouse but haven't created a profile for the correct one?

yes but aside from the marriage line nothing comes up  no census, draft registration  not a thing so I going to wait on adding him in.

That makes sense.

P.S.  I see what you mean.  They married in 1935 and by 1940 he was gone--whether he died or ran off or something else, who knows?  Census says she's married, but he's not in the household...

yes and the way the detached spouse info lines up with the marriage lines both fathers Frances  both mothers Emma. Edwards mothers maiden name Jones but she was adopted.  Richards mother maiden name Falls. Edwards 1940 census says married but no wife on census.  Is weird, 1940 census Edwards say occupation laborer on Richard marriage lines says the same. and both lived in Tremont. What a mystery

added the spouse back with notes on the marriage lines and such His name was Edward dont know where whoever did the marriage licence got Richard and yes the marriage lines were all done in same hand even the signatures
