I think these two profiles should be MPd to prevent a possible merge, since their birth and death dates are only off by a year.

Also, I ended up doing that merge. I was merging elsewhere in that tree and when I got to him I didn't realize it was the same one. It shouldn't be an issue, though, but normally I like to wait until other issues are resolved. My apologies if it created more work for you.

- Capt. Thomas Stedman & Hannah Stedman made MP.

I don’t see any issues so far.

I need father unmerged from Sanford William Gorham as there were two different family lines. His father was
George W Gorham
1824–1901
Same location but not birth years or parents. I am trying to upload pictures and documents and while the name is the same it's not the same person or direct family line.

Sanford William Gorham

Martha Coolidge is locked to the wrong mother, as confirmed in Watertown, Mass. Genealogies and History. Her mother is Mercy “Martha” Rice (King)

Erica Howton Thanks,I added that one that you linked me to on Geni. Not sure how the mix-up came about. Thank you for disconnecting.

Thank you!

I need help correcting this bad merge(?), apparently one that I made (happened over a year ago, and I just noticed it as I've been gradually working on reducing my long list of matches/mismatches, as the case may be). Obviously at the time I thought it was a good merge, but there are some remaining conflicts and I don't know what should be done about it.

Re the above faulty merge: this, another much older (2016), apparently faulty merge may be part of the underlying problems with this profile (idk for certain, but it does look questionable to me).

At least one or more merges on Maj. Thomas Lawrence, of Hingham brought in mismatched wives with the same name but different parents.

So now his wife has become a sort of geni profile 'chimera' (so to speak).

Elizabeth Lawrence



Elizabeth Bates Mystery

www.geni.com/media/proxy?media_id=6000000188475418843&size=large


The article (above) suggested Andrew Bates (brother of James Bate, of Dorchester & Clement Bate of Hingham) as a possible father for Elizabeth Lawrence However, that was debunked at https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Elizabeth_Unknown_(4206) : Since it was generally held that Edward Bates was a brother to James Bates of Dorchester, and since the widow returned to Dorchester, naturally this turned into the assertion seen everywhere that Elizabeth was sister or daughter of James Bates of Dorchester. However, modern research shows that Edward Bates is not the brother of James Bates of Dorchester. Waters' presentation (see the link embedded in the Torrey citation, p. 1302) of the Bates family in Lydd, England shows that that Edward, brother of James, was buried in 1616. [Before Elizabeth’s estimated birth date of 1618.].

WeRelate further notes: > “The question remains, was Elizabeth the sister, or sister-in-law of Edward Bates. According to the TAG article, p. 65:94, Edward has a sister Elizabeth, bp. 1604, "poss. the Elisabeat Beate who m. Aston Clinton 30 Sep 1629 Walter ["Water"] Warde". Susanna Putnam, p. 65:96, has a sister Elizabeth, bp. 1612, "living 10 Nov. 1625 (father's will)". The latter seems a more likely age for the wife of Thomas Lawrence.

James Bate and Alice Glover are featured in Great Migration 1634-1635, A-B by Robert C. Anderson, and there is no daughter named Elizabeth. (see "father" James Bates-732 for a link)

Anderson, Robert Charles, (1995) "James Bate," featured name. Great Migration 1634-1635, Vol I, A-B. AmericanAncestors.org NEHGS (Vol A-B, Pages 199-201) < AmericanAncestors >



Also tagging Dean Richard Hobart for a look / see. He’s done a lot with Hingham families.

Oops - misread, the article refers to yet another brother, Andrew Bates Born 1578, daughter born 1621.

Erica Howton I downloaded a pdf of the Bate Great Migration profile and will upload to James Bate's Source Tab. I also downloaded the WeRelate citation of the TAG Vol 65 p 33-43 and p 89-96 from 1990. It has a lot of info on Bate, Kingman, Pratt, some others. I have downloaded it before when working on some Pratts. So I can go through this week and check the profiles with Geni. Work is busy, so probably by next weekend to see if there is any resolution to dear Elizabeth. Coincidentally, Bate came on the Elizabeth... maybe someone heard that he came with Elizabeth and thought it was a person instead of a boat. There are stranger origins to family stories..

Erica Howton I uploaded the profile. You might want to go through his kids. There seems to be a bunch of extras. Maybe duplicates. Probably not. There might be an old bad merge at some point? Otherwise, just the kids in the Great Migration Profile should all be relationship locked.

James Bate, of Dorchester

And getting back to Private User query on msg https://www.geni.com/discussions/185827?msg=1595069

who I “know” just loves popping open genealogical and / or merge cans of ooooopsy!

Sarah Pixley was not the same person as Sarah Salters

That had been wrong on multiple sites.

Which med to cleaning up the imaginary and/ or mismerged children of Joseph Winslow & Sarah Salters

Sara was the daughter of Capt. Thomas Lawrence of Newtown on Long Island, now Elmhurst in Queens.

“Joseph Winslow, merchant, mariner and landowner, appeared in Perquimans County, NC after 1643. He was a Quaker, a leader in the Culpepper Rebellion, and operated ships out of North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.”

However, there does not seem evidence there he was the father of Timothy Winslow, of Perquimans District and the line of North Carolina Winslows, so I’ve disconnected. If there is evidence accepted by the Mayflower Society, please advise!

Hello everyone, need advice.

I'm uploading the original Scotlands People birth records, marriage records, that I paid for, but noticed they have a copywrite -

https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000188481340856

My question is, is it ok? or should I just make note they are with Scotlands People and not post them? I'm confused.

Working on the Boyd/ Heron lineage

I like the original documents over just written info., always seeking original old documents. Scotland likes to keep their original docs to themselves.

It’s a complex topic, because geni is commercial. You purchased, there no issue that you own. You should check the terms and service for the site. It’s probably a better idea to just cite where you got it from. I’m with you on wanting to need / see for myself.

I cannot figure out when Mary Dodge acquired Richard Huckaby as her husband.

Richard Huckaby (and his sons) do not belong to this Mary Kimball. They are in Virginia and she is from Beverly and Wenham, Massachusetts.

Genealogy of the Dodge Family in Essex County, Mass...., page 51 (link - https://archive.org/details/genealogyofdodge01dodg/page/50/mode/2up...) discusses the Mary Kimball who marries Elisha Dodge. So does https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kimball-732 and History of the Kimball Family..., page 51 (link - https://archive.org/details/historyofkimball00morr/page/50/mode/2up)

I would do the merge of Mary Dodge with the correct pairing of Mary Kimball & Elisha Dodge (Mary Dodge) but the complication of the Huckaby profiles makes me leery of doing it.

Can these two be mastered:
John Talcott "Died Young" and John Talcott, III are brothers.

Also involved in a tree match that makes no sense.

Please unlock the birth name for Jerusha Dodge She is a duplicate of Jerusha Dodge

Why she is MP without any support is beyond me.

Are done.

Many MPs without support; it was to differentiate & disentangle. We’re getting there in filling in bios. I only wish there had been more MPs, I’d be spending less time on repair now.

Erica Howton - Thanks

John Tilton -- I am still trying to figure out where the profile went wrong.
A wife and same named wife of very wrong DOB seem to have become attached to John.
I do not see a merge to ask to be reversed.
Not a direct to me as far as I know but somehow related.
Please look?

I disconnected from wrong parents but Allen Richardson Frazier STILL needs help.

Allen Richardson Frazier Is post colonial.
