New member introducing myself

Question

Hey my name is Christine Lorraine Wellings born Jackson and aka Jackie.

I have noticed on many sites where so much of my fathers personal  information  is not correct, namely siblings that are incorrect...I would love to be able to upgrade this information so that it is correct.. what is the best way to do it..

Answer 1

Hi Christine,

You have not linked your father to your profile here in WT.  If he has a profile here, is the info incorrect here in WT.  If so, you can contact the profile manager and work with them by supplying proof of the corrections.

You will have to upgrade your profile to member, it's free.

If you are talking about other websites, such as Ancestry, every instance of your father is separate, and people notoriously accept any hint without research or thought.  Since your last name is pretty common, this could lead to much incorrect information.

What I do is try to get everything correct here, with sources, and if I do fill anything out on another site such as Ancestry, I be careful to make sure not to accept incorrect information hints.

The best way is to upgrade to a Family member.  

You can upgrade at no cost to the Family Member  level at any time by adding your genealogy communication preferences.

To do this, please click on the upgrade link on either your navigation or profile page.

After you have upgraded, I would suggest that you go to the profile manager of your direct family member's, and ask him to put you on the trusted list. This will allow you to make all of the changes necessary to your direct family members.
