I created this discussion because the email did not work. Can someone move "Goodman" to either the middle name slot or the aka slot so it will not keep triggering a consistency error alert or cause confusion for some people. Please and thank.

Hello Keri:

Thanks for the quick response, some others had the same problem, so I hope someone that has the power to update will do so.
Thanks
Greg

Hello Edward,

I was going to move "Goodman" to the middle name slot or the aka slot but the fields are locked as therefor require a curator to resolve. Hopefully one of the curators will take care of it. :)

Managers of “Goodman“ Henry Gregory,

I am contacting you about this profile: “Goodman“ Henry Gregory
Could you please change Henry first from "Goodman" to Henry as Goodman was most likely a nickname. My research shows that his first name is Henry.
Sincerely,

Edward Greg Franz

“Goodman” and “Goodwife” (or Goodie) are titles used in Colonial America. They are not nicknames and they are correctly entered in the title field.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwife and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodman_(title)_

I will ask Geni to stop triggering inconsistencies for them.

Thank you, Geni! Goodman and Goodwife are now recognized titles in Geni; if there’s an outstanding inconsistency reported, refresh, and the message should update.

Thank you Erica Howton for educating us on this. I personally was not aware of this. Hey you learn something new everyday. :)
