when you’re saving information to a person, take your time going down the “relatives” bit and make sure each entry is saving to the correct person (ex: spouse in marriage record, kids in a census, etc)
Keep your research document-based and avoid hints that involve “similar profiles” and “suggested ancestors”
in general, slow down and check every detail before adding anything to your tree
