Protocol on adding new people

Question

If I find a profile who is under another's control and I have parents not listed;  what is the correct protocol for adding the parents.

Do I contact the person who has control of the child and ask permission to add.  Or do I go ahead and add the parents.

Want to do this right and not upset anyone.

The parents where already in WT when I went to add them.  Just the one daughter was not connected to the parents. I also sent a private message to the owner explaining what I did and how I was related.

Answer 1

Go ahead and add the parents if you're certain. This helps grow the Wikitree! (And thanks for helping!)

Answer 2

As long as you have good sources, go ahead.

Answer 3

As other have said, add them with good sources. If the Profile Manager is watching the Last Name it will show on their Wiki Feed.

Optionally, you may send the PM a private Message alerting the parents have been added.

And if the profiles person was born before 1700 definitely discuss first.

Does the existing narrative say anything about the person's origins?
