About a week or two ago I could suggest a merge from every profile's Actions list. Now I can only do that for public profiles. So if I want to suggest a profile merge I have to either convince the other profile manager to add me to their family group or get them to make that profile public? If that's the case then it's really going to slow down the merging of duplicate profiles.

Krisper: There's discussion of this in other threads.

You missed three options:

1. Ask the profile manager of the private profile to add you as a manager of that profile.

2. Give the other manager rights to your profile copy that you want to merge (by making it public or adding them as a manager), and get the other manager to initiate the merge.

3. Use Geni's "matching" functionality if you are a Geni Pro user.

And yes it is surely slowing down the merging of duplicate private profiles.
