Welcome aboard, Laurelle!
Mistakes happen when learning something new so please keep asking questions but try not to make stuff up! :)
If you want to learn the Wikitree way, consider taking the Profile Improvement project's Voyage or the England project's Orphan trail. Both are self-directed courses that will teach you a lot! The project list can be found under the Find drop down menu.
Good luck with your research and enjoy your journey into the past!
