I think this profile was merged with his father or something. As I understand it, William Twining, who married Anna Doane, was the son of William Twining & Mabel Newcombe. That William, husband of Mabel, was the son of Thomas. William and Mabel were married on Mar 3 1594. The birth date I have for this William Twining is 20 May 1599, not February 6, 1590. Also, this profile has the baptism date as May 20, 1559 but I believe that is the baptism of his father, birth being February 6, 1559 based on the revision changes.

Since all the fields are locked and there is a potential for an unmerge from Oct 27, I figured I'd start a discussion before making changes.

If Ben doesn't mind, I'll take over curation. William is my 10th great grandfather.

I'd be delighted if you would take on the job of straightening this out. William Senior is my 9th great grandfather--I think as my connection to him is through his daughter Elizabeth (Doane) Twining--but I guess there is some doubt whether William is really her father. As to Williams parents, I have no information, but yes, with info you have, sure seems like his mother is not correct. I look forward to hearing more.

Oops, I'm mudding the water. The issue besides the parents of William senior is with his wife, (not daughter Elizabeth (Doane) Twining. I think that got resolved that she was his wife, but we just don't know her parents.

The descendants of William that are in my line are William's son Deacon William Twining Jr./Stephen Twining/Nathanial Twining/Samuel Twining/Thomas Twining/Rachael (Twining) Laing/Thomas Laing/ Emily (Laing) Snow/ Mabel (Snow) Sidman/Gordon Sidman/Sandra (Sidman) Larson-me.

Question: what value would an un merge bring? Wouldn't it be better to fix the dates according to source? Also, any possibility of locating / uploading some of the primary records mentioned?

Yes - if I did it, I would probably just recreate the father and move Mabel Newcombe. I guess the value in an unmerge (if that merge was the cause) would be the potential to save the managers. If one of us recreates it, we'll be the only manager.

One way I've tried to alleviate that situation - losing managers when I've had to re create a smerged profile - is to send a "contact manager" note to the next generation, inviting them to "request management.".

I haven't really looked at revisions or anything yet, but my suspicion is the genealogy has been off for a while.

Ok, I've made the changes and created a new profile for William Twenynge. If anyone wants management, please request it on the actions menu for the profile.

Private User it looks good - that was the best solution. I love that the marriage record popped up! So cool to be able to source as you go along.

If it's backed, I've generally no problems with changes of information. That would be my main input here...
