Some genealogical software packages and some online tree sites encourage users to enter relationships between individuals as soon as possible. That can be a mistake. Unless you’ve got a fairly good idea that the relationship is solid, refrain from immediately entering it in your database. Not every child in the census is the child of both parents. The widow listed in the will may not be the mother of all the children Ask yourself how certain you are of each relationship before you put it in your database. You can “always change it later,” but many times later never comes.
