Parent-child and spousal relationships on WikiTree have what we call a "Relationship Status" or "certainty status" indicator.

Certainty Status for Fathers and Mothers

The Relationship Status options for parents are:

Follow the links above for information on how to choose the appropriate status. Then select it beneath a mother or father on the right side of a person's Edit-Profile Page.

Selected indicators will appear on certain family tree views and will affect Relationship Finder results.

Certainty Status for Spouses

The Relationship Status options for marriages are:

This confidence indicator is just for whether or not the two people were married. There are separate status indicators for the confidence of the marriage date and location.

This can be set on the Edit-Marriage Page. A link to this page appears beneath a spouse's name on the right side of a person's Edit-Profile Page.

Selected indicators will affect Connection Finder results.

Certainty Status for Children and Siblings

The Relationship Status indicators only appear for paternal, maternal, and spousal relationships.

To edit the certainty status for a child, simply click to the child's edit-profile page instead of the parent's edit page.

The certainty status for a sibling can be inferred. That is, the certainty that two people are siblings is based on the certainty of their relationships to the same mother and/or father. This isn't tracked separately.
