ATTENTION Curators, please assist

Mark I have merged all the Robert profiles - thats always the first option - What is you source on these profiles I haven't been able to find any - who is the reight parents?

Carole, it looks like the Richard FitzAlan problem was taken care of by Angus last night--this is something that Pros and Curators have the tools to handle, so just let us know if you have future problems like this.

Judith, the secret is to clean up as much as possible (for example, if there are multiple parents who are the same persons) by going to View Tree and clicking the little yellow triangle in the lower left of the person's rectangular name box, and then dragging and dropping the duplicates on top of each other (this process is usually called "stacking" in Geni lingo). Then click CONTINUE and follow directions to approve the tree.

If there are incorrect or conflicting parents, you can go back (still in Tree View) and click the yellow triangle again and after you click Continue, you may get a choice of which parents are correct. If there is only one correct set, please choose it. If there are lots of multiples of the same parents, then first it's best to go back to their profiles and try to merge them so you don't cut any loose. If you get a message that you cannot choose those parents because it will break the tree, then that's when you refer the problem to one of us since we can use our Pro and Curator tools to remove the incorrect parents.

Hope this helps.

@gunther kipp: Concerning the Robert profiles: I have no idea. They showed up in my merged file list, so I attempted to merge them.

Can anyone explain how I can receive a mergerequest from myself ?
And why do i receive mergerequests on profiles i am not allowed to se?

What does the MP stand for on the profiles?

Can some one help Divorce

Ela Mallory
From
Thomas de Greene, IV, 1421

There are no pending merges, Geni brings up the connection to remove but then will not remove because of splitting the tree. Both have other spouses and children that are not connected between the Divorcees.

Thank You

MP stands for Master Profile. A curator can label a profile as 'Master' when they feel the profile matches the available historical research. The idea is that when someone merges into a Master Profile they leave the data in the Master Profile alone.

off to look at Ela and Thomas

divorce complete

two set of parents:

Lori or Gene, maybe you can assist me on this profile.
At least 6 different parents....
Anne

(inherited profile)

Mareen Duvall "The Immigrant"'s parents are unknown.

I've tried to reach consensus with other descendants, but it isn't working. (http://www.geni.com/discussions/6000000009368277502)

I request that a curator look at the profiles at hand, read the discussion, and then make a decision about severing Mareen Duvall "The Immigrant" from his dubious parents.

The Master Profile system was just started 3 days ago so curators are still in the process of designating and building Master Profiles. They may not all have full and accurate historical information yet, but as we all work on them, they are the ones that should stand as the "One Person One Profile" that Geni is aiming for.

Here's a nice one for a curator

Mary Graves (Church)

When I try to fix her, she ends up with 2 MALE parents as the only choise even tho there is a female parent listed.

If some one has time this area needs cleaning.

William Reed, of Woburn

I have posted on the profiles information and link/links.

Here is how the line is listed in the source:
(I) Thomas Reed married Ann, dau. of Thomas Hoo.
(II) Thomas Reed married Mary Stonehouse.
(III) Thomas Reed married Mary, dau. of John Brocket. Children: Thomas, John, James and 2 daughters.
(IV) Thomas Reed married Mary, dau. of Thomas Cornwall. Children: Compton, Edward and three sons believed to be Thomas, William and John.
(V) William Reed married Mary Kendall (she married 2nd Henry Summers) Children: George, Ralph, Justice (called Abigail), Bethia, Israel, Sarah, Rebecca.
(VI) George Reed. (He's Okay)

I would help on this but Geni does not seem to want to work for me on removing some connections and I have family coming. Kira Rachele Jay profiles are in here and they always take a lot of work. I Will check back tonight to see if I can do more.

Thank You

The curators are authorized - link?

To the Curator of Anund Jakob "Kolbränna" King of Sweden:

Apparently I hit the merge button by mistake on Edmund the Old. (Obviously, they are two different people.) If you could correct this (de-merge them), I'd appreciate it. Sorry about that... -Ben.

Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy, Vol. Curator You aren't kidding that it's a mess! I've gotten a good start near the top of the tree.

Also, for anyone in the know: I tried to add her (your) source in two different formats - neither pleasing to me. (Visible from my profile.) I was hoping to go through the article tagging the individuals, thus both attaching the source to the profile and making the material easier to reference while working on it. (I prefer to think of it as efficient rather than lazy!)

However, it seems to have been a failure. (Again, I prefer to think of it as an insufficient Source format rather than my cluelessness!) Any suggestions on this process would be greatly appreciated!

I've attached links to my two different attempts in the case that some of you can't view my profile.

Ben, wrt Anund and Emund: I unstacked them. But don't be too sure they're different - the profile of Anund has his name as "Emund Jakob" in Old Swedish.

Private User is the expert in this area of the tree.

Pretty sure these two are different - in accordance with FMG. Many thanks for clearing that.

William Douglas, 9th Earl of Angus's wives need to be cleaned up. I tried to merge what profile I had access to, but it threw ambiguous errors at me in the tree view.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm working on this now but probably won't complete it. I'll do what I can tonight, though. I have a source that quotes these books:

Harald, - "Anund Jacob" and "Emund den gamle" are two different persons - and they are half brothers had separate profile pictures and contained links to wikipedia articles explaining more. May be someone have merged together the mothers Edla and Estrid too?

If you take a closer look in the About Me you will find links to two different Wikipedia articles. Please separate them again. "Emund den gamle" had the red
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emund_den_gamle
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anund_Jakob

BTW: If you want to check wikipedia, always look for a national article first. The English wikipedia articles usually contains to many errors about none-English persons.

Oh, no!
Please do not do any work in the area of Olof Skötkonung and his big family. Thanks for telling me about the mix, though.
Have a beatuiful day

What should we do when our merges would be with a master profile? I just came on one where the names seem to match but the dates do not. Should we just ignore them, decide later or what?

Eldon,
you can still merge most Master Profiles (not all are locked). IF uncertain, you could always post the pair of profile links here, and ask for comment.

Shmuel, OK I just said I would decide later. I have not seen one marked locked. The names were the same but the dates were different. The merge seems to be gone now.
