And I'm now fairly sure that the mystery adder-of-people was myself, eight years ago! I noticed that two of the 'new' in-laws had profile images. Profile images that I'd cropped and uploaded in 2008.

Do I feel stupid ?   :)

No need to feel stupid, we all make mistooks  ::)

At least you have had the decency to let contributors know with the truth which in itself says a lot about you as a person.

Glad your dilemma is now fixed, even 'tho' it wasn't broken  ;D  ;D

Thanks Annie.

And I now have 100% confirmation that I did it myself years ago - all these 'new' people are present in a GED backup from 2010
Most roots researched back to the early/mid 1800s. Years noted as 'pre' refer to my direct ancestors, although I'm interested in any relatives:
Mitchelstown, Co.Cork: CORBETT (pre1935), SWEENEY  (pre1935), CUSACK? (pre1894), KEYS? (pre1894)
Mallow, Co.Cork: BROWNE (1895-1935)
Caher, Co.Tipp: BROWNE (pre1895), PURTELL(pre1895)
Cashel, Co.Tipp: FANNING (pre1886)
Llanelly, Carms: GRIFFITHS (pre1934), REYNOLDS (pre1901), WILLIAMS (pre1934)
Ton Pentre, Glams: LEWIS (pre1901)
