Hi Erica, good to hear ideas to smooth out these messes. I SURE HOPE THEY WORK!!!!
I have to say, though, as a Pro who has often used the help function: all I have ever received is NADA.... We're working on these problems, is all I have ever been told, even when my family tree went from 960 one day, to an agonizing 740 the next. Fortunately, I found a few of my dislodged profiles floating without tether and claimed them back again, but they never appeared on my tree again...Awful!
Geni is one of the most remarkable tools of self-discovery on this planet today. Too bad it is so easily mucked-up. What can we do as "consumers" (since it is for profit) to right these wrongs? Can't we have Master Profiles without all the other dreck?
