Thanks for your advice, Jonathan. This particular inconsistency has resulted from a profile of one of my ancestors being merged with the same ancestor's profile posted by a distance relative. Her correct name is Godfrey Mariah Mathis, but my distant relative posted her name as Mariah Mariah Mathis. I did send him a message, but I can't figure out how to correct her name. I've been working with Ancestry for about a year, and I find it easy. Are there instructions for Geni? For instance, I know how to attach source documents in Ancestry, but I don't know where to search for them or attach them in Geni.
Thanks,
Cynthia
