I added DO not MERGE to my Mary Jones and now I cant take it off. It shows for other people but its not in the prefix or suffix to removed. Also I was removed twice in a row to my husband. I added myself back and it was immedaitely disconnected. Am I wasting my time. Someone appears to be trying to upset me and its working...I am about to ask for a refund.

Your husband would be either a private profile or a claimed profile. In either case, only you, or your husband if claimed could remove the relationship between the profiles.

or a curator

I am the same as my husband, i do both

it was merged and then taken away

Ok its off again, its happened three times and I am tired of merging it over and over

What do you mean by, " I am the same as my husband "?

A curator does not have the ability to mess with private profiles in that way. Curators are volunteers with expanded abilities. They are not Geni employees.

Private

I’m very confused about which profile you mean. I think you are talking about the family here

Mary "Polly" Self

Mary "Polly" (Jones) Self
Gender: Female
Birth: estimated between 1745 and 1801
Immediate Family:
Daughter of James Jones
Wife of Job J Self
Mother of Alfred Self; Egbert Self; James J. Self and Nancy (Self) Jones

Where you have a slightly ? Different genealogy for the wife of
Job J Self

Job J Self
Gender: Male
Birth: circa 1780
Franklin, North Carolina, United States, North Carolina, United States
Death: 1860 (75-84)
Vowells Mill, Natchitoches, Louisiana, United States
Place of Burial: Old Cedron Cemetery, Provencal, Natchitoches, Louisiana, United States
Immediate Family:
Husband of Mary "Polly" Self (Jones) and Tamar Self (Stringfellow)

So we “had” had a do not merge. That was removed due to MY misunderstanding.

But let’s just try to resolve this with Jonathan’s help, if he’s willing.

Don’t add new duplicate profiles! We’ll send you management requests if agreed.

So - is the tree as it looks now what you expect?

If so - we’ll add you as a manager.

There is this profile also and she looks like a different person from the one who married Job Self and had many children.

Mary Pass
Mary (Jones) Pass
Gender: Female
Birth: circa August 21, 1783
Caswell County, NC, United States
Death: South Carolina, United States
Immediate Family:
Daughter of Nathan John Jones and Mary (Whitlock) Jones
Wife of John D. Pass
Mother of Romulus Samuel Pass; Dolphin Pass; Eliza (Pass)

And this third Mary Jones: Mary "Polly" Howard

They all three had to be unmerged and are now three separate profiles.

I think this message to managers needs to go here:

Managers of Mary "Polly" Howard, I worked and worked on the Mary Jones The Mary Jones in Louisiana married to Self is the same one as the one that married Pass. I was linking up to the Mary Jones daughter of Mary Whitlock ...to all her family. but I dont know how so I looked at the James as parent of Mary Jones for the one in Louisiana. I decided since I am already linked to Jones in another line I would look at that and I found a James as the father of Mary Jones and its not the one married to Alston. I dont share dna of any of his ancestors but I do with the James as the son of John Thomas Jones married to Mary Martha Davis. I share all that family so please check it out. I am still trying to see where the Mary Jones in SC is linked to me because I link to all her family too. I mean all of them. So I am going to see if she has a place for placement somewhere else because she is obviously linked to me also.

I am contacting you about this profile: Mary "Polly" Howard

Sincerely,

S

All three women are still separate at this time.
I do not plan to work on them today and will await requests from the author of the message .

Mary "Polly" Self
Mary Pass
Mary "Polly" Howard

Managers of Mary "Polly" Howard, Ok i know the Mary Polly Howardf is title but i am talking abt all the mary jones. I figured out how come i linked to all these families and now i found what i think is correct and straightens it all out Andrew Wood Jones i show was married three times not sure of the order or whos kid is whose but i do feel like i descend from Unity because I link to her ancestors. I have Phillip linked to me through DNA matches and already had him as unity;s child so I show Phillip and William Jones as the children of Andrew Wood Jones This is the William that was born in 31 Oct 1735 thats why i have so many of his descendants. Andrew would be my direct ancestor. online i found Jacob Jones born 1729 as the child of Abraham Wood Jones but a different mother and that is Margaret Phelisia :Sarah: Norfleet and then for another wife of Abraham I have Sarah Elizabeth Batte and for their child I have Peter. Since Abraham is not that distant to me I am not sure which is Abrahams children belong to which mother. I need the marriage dates and dont have them right now and I need to birth dates for these childrem I may have that. I just wanted to get this out to you because I have really been studying this. I am not changing anything on here because it upsets so I am putting this out so you guys and see what i am talking abt. I have 500,000 people in my tree and I linked up to tons and I mean 1000;s with dna matches. This MAry Jones in Lousana linked to the Pass family and the other descendants of her are in Floyd Co., Georgia thru a different married. I kept linking up the the Mary Jones of SC and all her kids and this would explain it all. I can send a gedcom of my tree since I have not corrected it anywhere like gedmatch. my tree is a working tree and always has been. I still link to the Whitlock lady alot she may be linked to me somewhere else.

Sincerely,

Managers of Mary Pass,Ok this is not right and its been an issue for a long time I just figured out her father and i figured it out from the location and DNA matches. I corrected it on Ancestry.com and now its showing other relatives linking up to council, so far 4 just today so she is the Daughter of Council Kimbrell Jones born 1759 and Sarah Denby. I have not seen Denbys in my tree ever but some may show up or there is a different mother. After you unlink her to Nathan John Jones it will be fixed and then i can show problems if any others pop up. I am the one that originally used this listed because i linked up to all her kids with DNA matches but after a lot of searching i decided there is a link to the Mary Jones in SC..so there had to be another reason. This Mary Jones is a cousin to the other Mary Jones. Coucil may show up on the one world tree and then they can be linked. Abraham Wood Jones appears to be the relative of both Mary Jones with generations inbetween, linking Mary Jones to Council works and the mary Jones in Louisiana is the same as the one in Caswell county b in 1783. I am a Pass and Nancy Jane Self appears to be linking to me thru Dna. So Nancy Jane appears to be born a Pass and Adopted by Self and she used the Self name. I did not know Nancy Jane was a sister so this new to me. I linked up to the ancestor. Council had a daughter named Margaret and she was already in my tree from looking at other matches families i have entered which helped me link up to my matches that descend from her. You can change it or not..but i believe this to be true and I figured out other children for Abraham Wood Jones. It appears he married three times. I have about 4 kids listed but I wasnt positive which kids go to which mom but i believe by looking at my DNA matches I know which mother my line descends from. I will tell you who it is when i get to those people. I shared DNA with the ancestors of one lady and not the others. Unity Claiborne is the one I believe i descend from. Since I am just finding this. It may be different when i start seeing people linked up the the norfleet line. So far I have not seen that name popping up

I am contacting you about this profile: Mary Pass

Sincerely,

D.

I ADDED husband "Nathan John Self" Nathan John Self and disconnected BOTH sets of parents so the Geni user can add the correct parents.

For Mary Pass (Jones) Mary Pass in response to this message:

"Managers of Mary Pass, So far I have kids for Andrew Wood Jones as Jacob, Phillip and William . I believe this William is the one linked to the other Mary Jones. If you make this one change I can get to the rest later......"

Merging duplicates created and then Stepping off.

Will follow up if needed.
Thank you

Cynthia when I downloaded my new gedcom I forgot that it looks at everyone in the tree. There is a way top stop families from downloading but it is not easy to find. I have to search to find how to skip families. I got a lot of it to stop downloading. If I have duplicates I thought I have an obligation to merge people that are the same if they show up. This is why I got off the site in the first place. I thought I was very clear and it still wasnt done but thanks for adding me so I could correct it. I was the one that added it there to begin with years ago. After its corrected Ill get off the site again. I just didnt like bad links to me online

Private many profiles are already in Geni.
I do not use a Gedcom to upload. I wish it was NOT an option.

Were you able to make the corrections/connections you needed to based on your research and DNA studies?

i got Mary unlinked from the bad husband yes I THINK

Private excellent
I don’t know what else u need done but I, as well as many others, am happy to help as much as possible but specific instructions are needed…. It appears that you have done the work elsewhere and just need help fixing what is here on Geni.
A Pro user is able to do things here that a basic (free) account user cannot.
I would recommend getting a Pro account and get as much done as possible and that in itself may be all you need to be able to get your branches in order?
Many here maneuver the site really well with a Basic account but they are nit new users from my understanding

*not new users
