Working on a profile, has no relatives

Question

Good Evening all:

 

I have been working on fixing errors,  and I have come across  a   profile as follows:

Name: Henry Wyatt...  ID Number:Wyatt-907    Born 1582, Kent, England

I went to check out the sources  and Bios,  and   clicked on   a source web page, which does not exist anymore.

2nd   I noticed:  There is no parents,  no children  no spouse,  no family at all to connect him to the global tree.  

So could someone please tell me what i should do with this profile?  Should it be delated?.

 

thank you all for any help

1. What sources do you have? I see no reliable sources
   1. If that s the case ad you don't feel comfortable doing genealogy research in UK 1500 then mark it {{Unsourced}} start guessing that dates are mixed without have a source is not genealogy...

Answer 1

Hi Debbie,

It looks like he had parents and they were removed recently. Also, profiles are deleted from what I understand.

In looking at this profile, I see that the date of death is before the date of birth.  I wonder if they were switched around and this Henry Wyatt is actually a duplicate of this Henry Wyatt born in 1541.

Thanks,

Susan

Possible, but my first thought was that the birth date was a typo and should be 1482 instead of 1582.

As

• Birth date is 1582
• Death date 1541
• Location Kent
• No parents
• No children

 maybe they just missed the minus sign and its before christ

Suggestion born -1582 died -1541 

Feels fun doing genealogy without sources,,,,

Only problem is that this area Julius Caesar called Cantium, or home of the Cantiaci in 51 BC so then we also need to change location Kent

Tell me about it. I just came across an ancestor's profile that lists her LNAB as Freeman for which there is no evidence I have ever seen but is propagated repeatedly in undocumented online trees. Not only that but the offending profile was the receiving end of a merge with the original profile which had her LNAB "Unknown" which is correct per accepted sources for time and place.

It's frustrating.

Changed it to an answer

Answer 2

The birth date was on one profile that was merged with another profile with the death date/place and birthplace:

edited the data for Henry Wyatt. (Merged Wiatt-140 into Wyatt-907: Merged Henry Wiatt (Wiatt-140) into Henry Wyatt (Wyatt-907)) 

Maybe we should remove the birth date.

It is this another merging without sources that will kill WikiTree..... see G2G
