How do i go about adding a missing family line from an existing one?
My name is Christine [name removed for privacy] I am married into the family that originated from Frederick Stirk line, however the line from my husband, his father and his grandfather are missing from the family tree. The family line goes as follows:
- Frederick Stirk's brother John Stirk married Mary Ann Clipsham
- John & Mary had a son Harry Stirk who married Runetta Bell
- Harry & Runetta had 3 sons and a daughter, the website only lists two sons. The third son is missing his name is Howard Stirk and he married Margaret (I would need to get her maiden name)
- [removed to protect the privacy of living people]
How do i go about adding all this information?
Thank you for your help !!!
Christine :)

@Christine19876 Welcome to Community! I found the line you are asking about starting with Harry
https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/LRY5-2FH Open the profile and add the missing children, then continue to add children until you get to your family. The living people you add will only be seen by you.
The Links Nyx773 gave you should help, but please post again if you have questions.
You might find it really helpful to schedule a free one‑on‑one conversation with a Genealogy Consultant. They can take the time to listen to your questions, explore your concerns, and offer insights that may not have come up yet.
