Back on October 28, 2018 Jim Wile merged Susan Mann with Susan (Greenwood) Mann https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=72573236480
and then merged two versions of the husbands, both John Mann, https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=72573237890
There have been more merges on both since then, but that is where the error crept in.

I have just been following up on a DNA match, finding records to give me date references, etc. for ancestors of a living person with the name of my match (Geni search found two for name of my match, but clearly duplicates, I was working on the one on the World Tree). All was going well till I came to Rose Simpson, husband Zack, parents John Mann b. September 26, 1790 and Susan (Greenwood) Mann.

The Rose Simpson Rose Simpson who was married to Zack is
--on the 1940 Census as Rose, age 28, born Kentucky
--in the U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 (per AncestryLibrary) of her son Raymond as Rosie Mann
--probably the Rosa E Mann in the Kentucky, U.S., Birth Index, 1911-1999 (per AncestryLibrary), born 5 Apr 1913 in Taylor, Kentucky, mother Susie Underwood
--Probably the Rose Mann on the 1920 Census as age 6 9/12 with parents J A and Susan, siblings Mary, Herbert, Jesse, Tish, Johnie, Mose, Emza, and Frank

Jim unmerged the profiles of John the same day I posted above, and did some more work.
We now have John Hathaway Mann John Hathaway Mann born in 1867, died in 1949
And John Mann John Mann born in 1790, died in 1864

Rose is now the daughter of John Hathaway Mann, born in 1867, died in 1949

Jim Wile - just thought to check and saw you had unmerged, as I mention above.
Also made myself a list of the children belonging to each parent at the time of the merge on the parents and checked to see about them.

Back before the merges on the parents John and Susan, you had done two merges on John Mann, Jr
Instead of just being John Mann, Jr born 1828 son of John Mann born 1790
Think at least one of those should be undone and Haley's version , at least, should be the Johnie on the 1920 Census I mention above
(1920 Census, Rose as age 6 9/12 with parents J A and Susan, siblings Mary, Herbert, Jesse, Tish, Johnie, Mose, Emza, and Frank)
The merge on Haley's version is https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=72573237360

Also there had also been two merges on George Washington Mann
This one should be undone, https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=72573234890, with Haley's version going to the John Hathawy Mann et al
Her version had just been named George Mann, is https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/33199379/george-berry-mann
And turns out John Hathawai Mann had another wife before Susan - some, including George, are actually Mildred's children not Susan's
