Family Tree knowledge base

Add a person and their connections

Enter personal details first, then review connections before the final save.

What to do

1. In My Family, select the correct authorized family and open the person-creation form. Enter the person’s details first.
2. Add optional media only when you have permission to use it. Do not upload identity documents or unrelated private information.
3. Use the connections section in the same form to choose an existing person and a direct relationship. Check the direction carefully: parent of and child of are different facts.
4. Review the proposed facts, warnings and possible duplicates. Confirm the required checks, then complete the final save. The current workflow saves the person and confirmed connections together.

A deliberately unconnected draft can be preserved; do not invent a relationship to make the graph look complete. If a save appears to succeed but the refreshed screen fails, check the people list before trying again. A duplicate warning needs review rather than an automatic second copy.
