How can I create a second profile to enter information on my adoptive family?

Question

I've created a profile and am using it for my birth family. I want to also enter information on my adoptive family. How do I create a second profile to do this? I read the FAQ but it wasn't clear how to do this. Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Elaine -

The most common method is to link to your adoptive family member(s) in your profile.  I have done this on my own profile, except that my profile is connected to my adoptive father, and my biological father is the link in the biography.  If you'd like to see how I did it: (Gabbard-31).

Answer 2

It also says you can creat two profiles. That is the method I chose because I wanted to be linked as a child of my parents and of my biological parents. I just used a different email address for the second profile (though I put a link to my other profile in my bio) It does say it can be done in the WikiTree help. It also was my workaround for changing my email address without deactivating my account. I used the second account and made that the profile manager for ALL the profiles I added to WikiTree (for both my bio and adoptive trees) for easier organization of any future WikiTree emails. :)
