I have found the father-in-law of one of my family members on WikiTree [Gower-189]. There is only one child listed for the in-laws - it isn't the one I have [Gower-270] so I would like to connect her to her family. What is the proper way to do this?

If you pull up the profile for the child you have & hit the edit button, a screen will appear with many prompts next to various fields on the screen.

If you hit the add father prompt a screen will appear that will allow you to add the profile  [Gower-189], etc.

This procedure should work for adding relationships & linking profiles. Just click the appropriate prompt for the relationship you are trying to link.

When finished hit the public view button to see finished profile. If incorrect, re-edit.

Thankyou Douglas. I wasn't sure if I should do it or contact the person who is the Manager of that profile. Much simpler if I do it!!
Hi Marie,

It would be beneficial for you to contact the manager of the profile as well, as they may have extra information that you do not have.

All the best

Hi Billy - sorry I didn't get back to you sooner - just one of those days when I din't get on the computer.

Thanks for the suggestion - and actualy I ended up contacting the Profile Manager because after I added the father, then I wanted to also add the mother and Wiki wouldn't let me do it as I wasn't on the Trusted list. So I contacted the Profile Manager & he responded today. So now all is well, my gal  has both her father & mother, and I can go on  to other things.

Thanks for your help

Marie
