Correctors, etc.

I would find it helpful to know IF a person who has corrected or added info about a person and/or a family tree is connected to that person or that family tree.

Maybe an icon (or symbol) could be next to the name & e-mail to indicate Yes or No about a connection.

Also helpful to see if a particular corrector has been active recently.

You have the ability to contact, via private message, anyone who has made an edit/addition/correction/connection. Just click on the username to create a message.

The FSFT is a collaborative tree with over 1 billion profiles. Tracking the relationship (or no connection) of all the many collaborators would likely tax the system beyond its limits.

As I have stated before on this forum, my profile - or those of my parents - is not connected to any of my ancestors / relatives on Family Tree. So, you would never be able to discover whether I was related to anyone I have added to Family Tree!

I would agree with the advice provided by @Áine Ní Donnghaile - send a private message to the user and (if still active in Family Tree) they can confirm any relationship themselves.

A lot of the work I do on the FSFT is on people to whom I am not related. Whether I'm disentangling the incorrect merges of previous contributors, cleaning up the confusion/conflation of similarly-named families, or assisting those I mentor, more of the work I do is on profiles to whom I have no kinship.

I frequently receive messages asking how/if I'm related to a profile. I also have checked "Enable relationship viewing" on my profile.
