→Add the godfather/mother
Including the Godparents (either a Godfather and/or Godmother) of a child in your tree can be informative. In many cases, they are later discovered to be a close or distant family member. Tracing the ancestry of an apparently unconnected Godparent may open a new lead for attacking your Tree's brickwalls.
If the Godparent is not already in your Tree, add a Godparent as an unrelated person. Go to the person view, and simply add them using the "add..." Edit menu option or the "Add a new person" (+) icon in the Toolbar. (In many cases, the initial information available for a godparent will only be their name and the child's christening /baptism date... a day on which the Godparent was certainly alive.)
