Advice before editing this pre-1700 Cornelisz profile?

Question

I have information to contribute to the profile of Leendert (Cornelisz) van Sevenhuijsen. This is what I can add:

• I want to remove the son of Leendert (Wijnand Leendertsz Halverhout/Bezuidenhout)

These are the sources I am using:

• There is no source to suggest that Leendert and his wife are the parents of Wijnand Leendertz, only the import of a GEDCOM. This relationship has been in doubt for some time. The parents of Wijnand must be found in The Hague, where he was born.

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Answer 1

Yes most definitely contact the project managers and unless you have special permissions you won't be able to change the profile as it is project protected.

Answer 2

Interesting case. These things can indeed happen. Mistakes are made, and then need to be fixed, if better information can be found.

I see a comment and a reference in the profile from Ronel Olivier (aka Van_Heerden-335), but nothing from you, and no discussion in the comments.

ah.. and now I see that you've already done that, but at the profile of Wijnand Bezuidenhout-47 .. I hope that works out. I'll check if I can find the VOC ship record.. who knows.
