Action Steps
There are 2 possible scenarios:
- There is a Father Profile on WikiTree. If an existing profile is found for the father on WikiTree, connect that profile as a father for the child.
- There is no Father Profile on WikiTree. If an existing profile is not found for the father on WikiTree, create a new profile for the father of the child. While creating the father, be careful that the father's profile doesn't already exist on WikiTree. You can connect the new profile also in WikiData but that is not necessary. If all data fits, it will get connected automatically, otherwise it will generate a 541 suggestion. Of course, try to find sources for the father. Wikipedia and WikiData are not always correct.
