Hi Penelope,

Would you like to provide some details and we can help you check for any possible profile before you create yours?

Name, parents, spouse, children, any dates and locations that you're sure of would help.

Answer 1

That statement is regarding the prevention in adding any possible duplicate profiles and asks that a search be performed first to possibly locate any said individuals beforehand.

The following WikiTree Help link should (hopefully) provide you with some guidance in performing this search.

I hope I had explained this okay via text... :-)

Good Luck!
