G2G: Is there a project that covers these pre-1700 people?

I want to contribute to the deep genealogy on our shared tree. Here are people I can add, along with dates and locations:

  • Antonius Fredeboeling, born 3 Oct 1686 in Wenholthausen, Hochsauerlandkreis, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, died 15 Apr 1726 in Enste, Meschede, Hochsauerlandkreis, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, was the father of Maria Christina Schulte, born 27 Apr 1723 in Enste, died 1766 in Meschede. I am guessing that Anna Margarethe Schulte had a baby out of wedlock, and Antonius is the father.

Here are the sources I am using:

  • Research notes.

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

For a pre-1700 profile, you need sources which are much more expanded than just 'Research notes'.  Here is an example from FamilySearch:
"England and Wales Census, 1901," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9ND-H56 : 20 May 2019), Albert E Souray in household of William Souray, Brentwood, Essex, England, United Kingdom; from "1901 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing Brentwood subdistrict, PRO RG 13, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey.

In case you're appalled at the wealth of detail you need - FamilySearch have ready-made citations for you that you only need to copy-and-paste.
