G2G: I am overwhelmed with profiles. Is it better to orphan profiles with ought proper citations or get rid of them?

Question

To many profiles given to me.

Answer 1

Hi Paul,

We don't delete profiles, but you can orphan them if you are no longer in them- you can see here in G2G people saying they do that often.  Personally, I have never removed any profile I've created and I don't have an issue.

Answer 2

Hi, Paul --

I agree is it Very Tempting to want to "keep" every profile you ever created.  Realistically, however, it is "perfectly OK" to remove yourself as the profile manager.  I view these as future gifts to other (unknown) genealogist.

That's how I approach your question.  FWIW.

Answer 3

I have found some of the orphan profiles were my ancestors, so keep looking, it may pay off.
