Adding a “new person”

Dennis J Yancey

but also keep in mind - for many people - there is a pretty fair chance that such and such person - may already be in Family Tree - and if we add it it would create a duplicate.

so we should always check first to see if a person with that information already exists and if not - then yes we can add via that function.

I agree @Dennis J Yancey​ and I do try to always be careful of that And check 😊

Whenever I add a person, I do it through a relationship to a person already in Family Tree.

I understand how to add people through relationships, but I’m searching for family members, when I find one and I want to add them, it would be more convenient if I could just click the “review and add” button at the bottom and enter their name or whatever, but instead, it wants me to either choose from my history, or enter a number, of the person isn’t in my history or they don’t already have a number, my only option (because I’m using iPhone) is to write down the info I need to create a person, go to another section on the website to create a person then type in the info, then search for the record again... just seeems like too many steps to me when you can accomplish the same thing (but without making a possible typo and having wrong info) by clicking the button at the bottom of the record and the screen then gives you the option to create the new person if needed.
