Feature suggestion: autofollow

[raphink]

When importing whole lines from Geneanet (as unfortunately, there's hardly any profiles from my family already on Geni), I usually go something like this:

0. Find a known profile on Geneanet
1. Sync known information with the profile, add parents/spouses/children
2. Move to father, repeat steps 1 and 2
3. When there's no father, move to mother
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3
5. When profile has no ancestry, move to daughter in law, repeat steps 1 through 3
6. When back to original profile, explore children lines (this is a bit harder)

I'm wondering if it would make sense to automate this "autofollow" process of going through father->...->spouse->...->daughter-in-law->father->...->...->original profile since know the URLs to redirect to.

That was discussed early in project development and the consensus at that time within the curator group was that it would be too easy to create duplicates by adding multiple generations or family groups. We actually wanted people to do it one step at a time.
