Hello @Angus--you've had 3 curators weigh in now at http://www.geni.com/discussions/6000000009928223937?msg=60000000099..., so I hope that helped!

Robert Drury has been merge with Robert Darcy, he has a set of incorrect parents and the wife Lady Elizabeth Tyrell Darcy (deceased) does not belong with him, she is also attached to Robert Darcy.

I think I was able to get all the children in their correct places but Geni will not let me break the connection with the wrong parents and wife.

Sir Robert Drury

Thank you for any help.

Hi Carole,

Can you put in the links to the correct parents and wife?

This is a link to the correct wife, he is already connected to her and I have a profile that is linked in with others but I do not have permissions with the main and have requested to merge, (Geni will not let me unlink mine).
She is also connected to a Duplicate of Robert Drury which has the correct parents.

Anne Calthorpe

If you are not able to use the profile of Anne Calthorpe here is the link to the other duplicate for Robert Drury which will connect with the correct parents.

Thank You

Joan Plantangent and Joan Beauford are stacked here and I can't undo these 2..keep getting a tech difficulties message. I tried doing some other stuff first, removing wrong relationships from the first profile, but still didn't work. There are 2 different Joan's merged into Joan Plantagent to begin with which need to be dealt with afterward, but this needs to be un-merged first.
Thanks!

@Margaret S Verner, I just tried it and got the same tech difficulties notice.

Thanks Kim, I am working on detaching children and simplifying it as much as possible then will try it again.

All unlinked but one.

Gone for a while and tried to unlink the last profile again but still can't, so back to work....love to know why it won't unlink.

I couldn't do it either, Margaret. Maybe the help desk could fix it? Good luck!

Please take a look at Mary Bigelow <Mary Read>, 1677-1720. She has too many parents.

Thomas Flagg <Thomas Flagg/Flegg>, 1615-1698, has too many parents

Mercy Bigelow <Mercy Garfield>, 1686-1745, has too many parents. It ain't natural.

Joshua Bigelow, 1677-1728, <Joshua Bigelow> has too many parents.

Even if I am the main manager on those I leave it to the new curator Private User who seems to know this line better and obviously, based on the Revisions info, are working on this line.

With her new curator privileges this job should be easier now.

For further such requests. In case of parent conflicts please tell what is the correct set and data, - it saves us a lot of time and even people without any knowledge of the line might be able to easy fix errors.

If I new who the correct parents were, I would certainly fix it myself. When I have no idea what parentage is correct, I am asking the curators to fix it. This is the best I can reasonably do.

I am trying to be helpful. If I am just causing more chaos, please let me know and I will stop pointing out problem areas. Heaven knows I do not wish to make things worse.

No problem, - anyone who can help are welcome, and pinpointing problematic areas are especially welcome, - that is why we have started this thread.

done

It appears others besides myself are concerned about merging and what happens after we merge. It appears that many others like myself are not planning on any more merges until this matter had been resolved. At the moment I have over a hundred people who want to merge with me. This is crazy!. Judy

Please get off my family tree. I don't appreciate interlopers with discussions posted on my tree.

Stanley Eden

Stanley, can you please explain more clearly what you mean by "interlopers with discussions posted on my tree"?

Robert Richard Foote, 1553-1608 <Robert Foote, of Shalford>, has too many parents. Can someone help?

I think the problem with too many parents in most cases is smiley that there are so many people working on same lines and each have there separate set of parents or in cases like myself they have family members who have married other family members and going backwards they end up eventually in the same place. Sometimes you can get them to merge but sometimes it just for whatever reason won't let you merge. God knows I tried on several of mine. Hope you have better luck. Judy
