Free Space pages are wiki pages for supplementing your family history. They can be used to profile anything of significance such as a special pet, a meaningful event, a school you attended, a family heirloom .... They're "anything pages".
Yesterday was a travel day, and I am now in Salt Lake City being introduced to The Library by my half-sister! I will definitely follow Paula's advice when I have a chance :-)
I have double checked with admin to make certain and this is the ONLY situation in which it is okay for you to go ahead and make a duplicate of you mother and siblings. Then propose a merge with the existing ones. Let me know it you need help. Thank you for your concern over our rules against duplicates!!

My half-sister, Lou Daly is encouraging me to try this out - she is the avid genealogist in our family. I googled my mother, and found this listing, where my mother's married name is spelled incorrectly by the original poster (someone I don't know!) and my first name is also incorrectly spelled (I'm Janis Augustin, not Janice - my siblings are all listed correctly). I see that my half-sister has also contributed. I am joining her in Salt Lake City later this week for a few introductory days at "The Library".

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
