I've recently noticed people attaching connections to various families that I have online. When I go to check the info, the recently attached person says that it is an "orphaned profile". Today, I checked the history of the profile, and it shows it being created as new person by a wikitree member, then attached as an orphan profile.
I have a lot of family trees online, as I am actively involved in MIA research, and will make a family tree online in order to keep the genealogy information in an easy to find place. Everyone of those profiles are created using my name. I don't think that I even know how one would create a profile as an orphan, but this has happened a few times as of late.
I source everything that I put up, so it's not like someone is working on unsourced profiles and decides to connect another family member.
I'd appreciate an explanation.
