Hi, could one of the active managers of this profile also add the ‘’progenitor’’-project profile [email address removed] to the trusted list of this profile [Privacy Tab - add to trusted list, save, then activate, then save again] and then also activate it as active manager to this profile, please? (though this progenitor profile still has to be validated with a [transcription of a] baptism [image]), it will be] Project Profile Protected). The bio has been / will be integrated as best possible for the time being. Primary records will probably still be around in archives in Germany and in the Netherlands.
