I'm in a continual loop [closed]

Question

I'm trying to add an 18th child to his parents.  It keeps telling me it is unusual to have a child 40 years after the first one but he had two wives and a lot of kids.  I tell it to save anyway and it sends me right back to the warning.  The father is Roberts-42530.  I haven't been able to save his last son because of the loop.

Comments

Eleanor, does the mother have a profile?  If so, try adding the child to HER instead of to the father.

Thank you. I changed the year of birth and then corrected it after it finally let me save it.

Answer 1

This is a known problem and I think the team are working on it.

The recommended workaround is to change the dates to avoid the error/warning and then set them back to the correct dates once the profile has been created.

Thank you. I did not see that question.

Answer 2

Alexander. Here is YOUR Continual Loop Poem:

An Ode to the WikiTree Loop

Finding unusual facts, my mind is wrought

With kids born to two moms, a fact so rare

My curiosity, I cannot help but stare

Dates all wrong, they don't seem to fit

But with each discovery, my heart is lit

Uncovering the mysteries of the past

A journey of genealogy, it will last

In this WikiTree loop, I find my home

Connected to ancestors, no longer alone

Their stories and struggles, I now know

In their footsteps, I am proud to go.

Since I can't help you, I thought you might need a little comic relief today! Enjoy!
