Bad Birth dates/places

A few of these belong to collaborators and they were off by 1000 years. I fixed:
Hannah SPARROW
Mary Milk White
Franklin Richmond

when i check constance paine it does not show the date you suggest. what is it you are saying. what is the number code 78963

the number 78963 is the line number for the person within my GEDCOM. If the date does not match then 1. It's been corrected already, there is either another file by the same name or the file with the bad date was merged and corrected, or the GEDCOM for that person was corrupted in transmision. It's hard to say because the tree is constantly being updated.

Aw, just a thousand years.
A typo yes, but I wonder how many people looked at it and didn't notice?
Thanks

Marvin and Brendan,

I appreciate this kind of check. Well done.

I agree, it's a really good check. Franklin Richmond was born in something like 1780 and died in 850.

I'd love it if Geni automated stuff like this. If you die before you're born, there might be a mistake. If you're parents are born after you, there might be a mistake. (Call it the Jeff Foxworthy section)

Really, I was just seeing if my software could handle a report with all 100,000 people in it or crash, These were at the top of the list, also it reported that there were over 8000 people that should be marked as being deceased but the list was to long to manualy print and I'm sure they will work themselfs out.
But of course, the whole point is if we each do a little, we can get a lot done.
By the way hat report was taken from a "Blood-Export" and was 17,834 pages long. If the Geni Exports included pictures (that would be nice) then it would be a lot longer. (Thanks for PDF files,if I had to print to paper, the printer would burn out before the report was finished!)

I sent a message to the owner of the Wilmoth Blankenship profile. He is not Pro and only has two collaborators. Probably no one else is looking at his work.

Brendan,
My dear hubby loves Jeff Foxworthy, he'd appreciate the Foxworthy check!

I have made those silly typos myself. When I look at the tree view, I get a tiny green ? on the person's square, lower left corner. On the profile view -- if born 1780 died 165 -- you get "( )" after the date of death, meaning this person lived 0 years. The question mark is easy to see. The ( ) is easy to overlook.

Marvin, I have looked at a couple of these (familiar surnames, mostly) and they appear to be outside the Big Tree. I couldn't fix the two I looked at because I didn't know the correct information.

Have I mentioned lately, I hate GEDCOMs? It's a yerba matte drinking game.

How do you show a relationship to an adopted child, in the case I'm looking at the mother is natual the father adoptive, the natual father is known? Or isn't possible on Geni?

Two workarounds (maybe more):

1. Leave an intentional conflict (2 fathers)
2. Link within the "overview" module to one of the fathers, show the mother with two partners and the natural father as the father (i.e., a stepfather relationship)

In the scenario you describe I would choose 2. as both partners are known and linked through the mother.

I see how that would work, the child would have the birth name and an adopted name,,, but the overview could explain that,, thanks
