ATTENTION Curators, please assist

I'm pretty sure it counts, Anita.

ok, so I can't unmerge the 2 profiles -- can a curator do it (see my original post a few lines up) ...?

Unmerge doesn't exist, Judy.

What has to be done is to create a new profile for the second identity that got merged with this one. Then move all the relationships, About Me, etc. to the right profile of the two. I also really wish there were an unmerge button ...

Judy Baumgarten (Kornfeld)

I broke off the obviously incorrect parents but I'm unsure of the other relationships. And also - what David said.

ok, well rather than make matters worse, I will leave it alone and let closer family members deal with it. Luckily I stopped after the one merge, so it shouldn't be too difficult to put back together.

And, I don't mean to tell you things you don't already know, but this underscores what a BIG problem it is not to be able to undo a merge. This is the first time I've made this mistake, but really, how many problems are being created in the tree with all of the incorrect merges having to be rebuilt. Really not good! Like many others, I have stopped inviting people to my family tree -- it's really not the free vs pro issue for me -- new members won't really know the difference, if they're interested, they will join -- it's just that there are too many problems with the whole geni platform. Really a shame.

And thank you Erica.

Judy my understanding that "merge undo" is top priority for geni. I totally understand and feel the pain - at the moment I'm "orphaning" my 9th great grandfather - again. And not because his Geni stepmother was an executed witch!

Could someone please explaine how this merge can be completed -

The text on the private profile says: "You may view this profile to contact the manager or perform other actions."

Try it, - and ask for example if the user can perform the merge or consider making the profile public giving you as a Pro user access to check the match closer and merge it.

You may also suggest that you become extended family group members temporary to be able to merge other profiles connected to that one and still keep them as private profiles.

Thanks, Bjorn.
The manager is unresponsive but I thought that it being a public profile that a curator would be able to complete it.

Take a closer look: one of the profiles is private, Anna Sophia Elisabeth Thompson, and not even curators have access to merge it. When it comes to merging public profiles you have the same access rights as the curators since you are a Pro user.

The only thing a curator can do is to see when that manager last was logged in, and my answer above was based on that.
Just be patient, - not everyone are logged in every day and can respond immediately.
There are by the way 10 users within the family group of that profile which have access to merge or make it public, and by tagging it in this message some of them might respond.

Hmm, OK thanks alot Bjorn.

Can someone please merge these profiles?

thank you kindly.

Sally Thomas

His wives are different..
Clara A Stickney

and
Clara A Billings Cogswell

Over and above that
Clara A Billings Cogswell
is private and we cannot make it public..

Clara was the child of a stickney, and was married to a Billings, but I suppose that she might have been married to some else also, perhaps by the name of Cogswell? I mean people sometimes have more than one husband or more than one wife? yes?

But since it is private, than the question of mopre than one husband is moot.

I should have mentioned that George F W Billings one of the profiles you wanted merged is also private and managed by Sandra Lee Sullivan

I believe there is a problem with this...
http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000005911814864?resolve=6...
because if any merges are done with this we are going to mix 2 entirely different lines.
The correct line is here
http://www.geni.com/family-tree#6000000006444086602
Swaine is not the same as Swane or Swan
The John Swaine is from a different location and is not married to Ann Trumbull

Trumbull was married to a Richard Swan, not John Swaine who had also a different set of dates than Ricard Swaine in addition to a different locale

Sorry... what I meant to say is that Julian Swan (m. to Sam Stickney) mother was Anna Spotford and her father was Richard Swan, (not John Swaine) and Richard Swan's father was Robert Swan and Robert was married to Ann Trumbull. Ann Trumbull was not married to John Swaine

Well, if my braine is a bit scrambled. Would someone please take a look and you will see what I mean... please?

Also, I am not so sure that this is right either

Could some please check? Thank you kindly.

Hi Sally I found Unknown Profile

She is married to Robert Swan

http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000000436641291

If you compare the two Ann Trumbulls
http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000007226168375?return=duplic...

Is it possible there were two Ann Trumbulls?

http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000000436641291#600000000...

Juliana Stickney

I don't see her father as John Swaine.

Do you have a link to that Juliana Swan

Is it possible you are speaking of Juliana Swan

not

Juliana Stickney

notice one is Juliana the other Julian without the 'a'

Your 5:58 post is target, I believe.
Julian Swan b. 1633, married to Sam Stickney b. 1631 should not be confused with Juliana Swan b. 1569, m. to Robert Swan b. 1564. Juliana was wife 1 to Robert Swan, Anne Trumbull b. 1578 was wife 2 to Robert Swan. I do not believe there were 2 Ann Trumbulls in 2 separate lines, Swaine vs Swan,

5:58 post is on target...

Julian Swan's (m. to Sam Stickney 1631) mother was Anna Spotford and her father was Richard Swan, (not John Swaine) and Richard Swan's father was Robert Swan and Robert was married to Ann Trumbull. Ann Trumbull was not married to John Swaine

Could someone please tell me why this profile -
Lieut. Hamilton Ross

doesn't show in the results when I search for Hamilton Ross?

Hey Brendan... you have added the profile only yesterday. This is how it works. The indexes at Geni are not refreshed continuously, only a few times a week. It may take a few days before it shows. Annoying, I know, but I think it has to do with the fact that refreshing the indexes is very compute intensive and may impact the overall performance of Geni.

Brendan,

If you need to go back to profiles you added recently that are not in the index yet, you can try to look at your revision history (in tree view you see a clock icon for this on the bottom left side of the screen)
You might be able to find them there.
