To remove yourself as manager, simply go to the privacy tab and select "remove self" .... that being said, if you wish to research a pre-1500 profile, you are more than welcome to do so. Post your research for this person here, and a pre-1500 certified person will add the research (with sources) to the profile that you manage. Eventually, you will be able to get certified and be able to add to your profiles, yourself. Respond here if you "make headway." Tally-ho!
