Editing a person's facts

Open the person, tap the edit (pencil) menu, and choose:

  • Rename β€” fix or complete their name.
  • Edit facts β€” birth and death dates and places, sex, and who verified them.
  • Also known as β€” add nicknames and maiden names (see β€œAliases”).
  • Set profile photo β€” pick the portrait that represents them.
You can only edit people in your own tree. Editing someone in another member's tree isn't allowed β€” that's their record to keep.
