Advice before adding of this pre-1700 Henderson profile?

Question

I can add children to the profile of Alexander Henderson. This is who I can add: birth of son James, daughter Isobel, son David, daughter Agnes, maybe more.

These are the sources I am using:

• Family Search

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Answer 2

Joyce, the answer depends on what records you are using on familysearch.

• If it is the transcription and/or image of actual official records then you can certainly add this information.
• If it is a family tree there then that is not an acceptable source for a pre-1700 profile.
