Advice before editing this pre-1700 Este profile?

204 views

I have information to contribute to the profile of Anna Este under INFORMATION. The information suggests that Robert Lavoye (Lavoye-46) may be an illegitimate child of Anna d'Este. Should Robert be added as a child given the source below?

Please see the profile of Anna d'Este 

These are the sources I am using:

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

I didn't see Robert mentioned in Anne's estate inventory and testament, but her son Henri de Savoie is.  The second reference mentioned in the information section on Anna Este (Este-9) also does not specifically mention Robert as a son.  As a result I would not attach Robert as a son since there isn't definite evidence.  I might add a research note that it has been proposed that he might be a son and reference any sources that specifically state he might be.
