I see many questions asked about historical figures and persons from several centuries ago, which I guess is good. But often, when I see such a question, I click on the profile of the person asking the question. And often, actually it's the rule and not the exception, the person needing to know about a supposed relative from the 17th or 18th century, hasn't yet bothered to even develop the profiles of their parents and grandparents. Which is not so good. The reason I feel this is not so good is because it is these more modern profiles which have the best chance of being accurately developed. And what I mean by accurately developed, I mean that there might be someone still alive to basically agree and verify that such and such information is indeed fact. The information from centuries ago which I'm confident will make its way to the Wikitree, sits in books and records which are most likely safe from loss or damage. So I guess I'm just asking if everybody that is just itching to plug-in some time honored relative that is long dead and has been safely recorded, to not forget about their direct parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents before jumping way back in time to add profiles of people that have no current established link to the present.
