Common mistakes to avoid

Marking living people as deceased to show more data

!

Creating duplicate profiles because names vary

Step by step

01

Start with name and status

Add names, surnames, aliases if needed, and mark whether the person is living to apply privacy rules.

02

Add a short biography

Write human context without replacing structured events like birth or death.

03

Connect media and events

Link photos, documents, and events so the profile is not an isolated card.

04

Leave clear questions

If a detail is missing, create a question so relatives can answer with context.
