I had a problem that I thought was small but has expanded. Initially I had a profile whose parents were already on WT but to a couple who had a child in Canada. I asked the PM for any sources (other than his family tree) . As I had no response, it was suggested I added disputed parents stickers. My profile,Hugh, was part of a large family and I wanted to add siblings and thier families and I started this yesterday.I added 6 siblings and also added sources to another two were already created. One of those also had parents. I now have 9 profiles who are siblings and unconnected to earh other. What is the best way to sort this out. Should I add all the siblings to the parents of Janet, the profile I have found yesterday, then try a merge with the parents of Archibald? However I feel he is not a son (there is space between the siblings BUT why no baptism, when nine others were and he certainly would not have been born in Canada). Was he a relation?. So many early parish records do not exist. The Fortingall ones are an exception.
I have listed all the profiles under the father of Archibald, John. Hugh is my original profile, Peter and Janet have existing profiles with families. Janet's parents were created before Archibalds but whilst the spelling is the same for both fathers, her mother is entered as Macdonald not Mcdonald as seen on the baptisms. They are interchangeble in many records but would it make a difference as LNAB and possible merging? Finally John, the father would not have died in Canada having had more children in the same village and where three are known to have stayed.
Bottom line, how do i join up the siblings to their parents, any thoughts on proceeding with this ?
