How can I flag a relative in case I find it to be wrong later?
I searched a name from my old neighborhood. I clicked on his 'sources'. I clicked on the submitter of one of the sources. I saw that the submitter was a relative and so I clicked on 'view my relationship'. When his family tree came up I compared it to my family tree. My tree (on his branch) only goes back to Rebecca Hickman ( 1922). His tree goes back to 1500. So on his tree I copied the ID for Rebecca Hickman's mother and attached it to my tree. Now my tree goes back to 1500.
Heres my questions.
I know there is a chance that the info on the submitter's tree may not be accurate. How can I attach a note to Rebecca Hickman's mother on the tree to keep me aware that the tree from that point back could possibly be incorrect? If I find incorrect info later on how do I keep track of what person I tacked on the unverified info onto?
Dang! This is confusing. Is there a better way to handle this situation?

You can make a note in the "Collaborate" section of the profile.

In addition to the note in the Collaborate section, you can put the profile on your watchlist by clicking the star labeled "Follow" at the top of the profile's detail page. On your watchlist ("Following" in the secondary top menu when you're in Tree), you can click the stack of three dots next to the person's name and choose "Add Label", then choose "create new label" to add something like "unverified". Add that label to the profile in your watchlist, and you can later come back and choose Options -- Filter By Label to see all of the profiles you've labeled as "unverified".
