ATTENTION Curators, please assist

EH -- We will give you an indulgence to change the date of YOUR thanksgiving to July if you promise to hold the feast for three days and serve 53 Pilgrims and 90 Indians.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)
Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, currently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give thanks to God.[1]
The event that Americans commonly call the first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England.[2] The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.[3] The feast consisted of fish (cod, eels, and bass) and shellfish (clams, lobster, and mussels), wild fowl (ducks, geese, swans, and turkey), venison, berries and fruit, vegetables (peas, pumpkin, beetroot and possibly, wild or cultivated onion), harvest grains (barley and wheat), and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash.[4][5][6][7]

PS -- save some mussels for me!

53 pilgrims? She's working with 50,000 Pilgrim descendants. Of course there are probably less descendants of the Native Americans from that particular region (most were wiped out by successive smallpox epidemics, wars, etc.)...

LOL, Ben, what trouble makers we are!

I'd say that would mean more turkey all around, but now there are 50,000 descendants to feed... you'd only get approximately 1/350th of the original portion from the winter of 1620/21 for Turkey Day dinner, and you'd have to be thankful for it too. (And you thought they were famished...)

Probably late on the draw on this one, but just found this map covering France and Germany just after the fall of the Roman Empire:

For those trying to match past places to present places in the Great Carolingian-Capetian war zone of the tree...

i have trouble with the darn autofill- i change it back to what i want and it won't let me have it!

Heather, I frequently dump the stored autofill selections and that helps. I use Chrome, so if I'm dumping my cache, it's one of my options. So easy!

These need to be merged/dezombified.

Also, surrounding profiles need some dezombification as well. I've stacked everything that I can.

@Robert :-)

think i got all the zombies for you.
those that stil are blocked,are private profiles.
and can`t be made public.

Robert gets the extra drumstick this year for dezombification! Great new Geni word for the vocab list.

Thanks, Martin.

It's a shame that some of those profiles cannot be made public. They are over 200 years old. *Sigh*

This profile seems a mixture of Kristina and Katarina Birgersdotter

Christina Birgersdotter Folkunga

I wonder, if you are able to separate the trees of her two husbands and merge Sigfrid of Anhalt only with Duke of Anhalt-Zerbst Siegfried I Duke of Anhalt-Zerbst, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst

From marriage with Ingeborg Eriksdotter of Sweden
The marriage was contracted relatively near the time when Ingeborg's brother the once-deposed Eric XI returned from exile in Denmark in 1234.
1. Rikissa Birgersdotter, born 1238, married firstly 1251 Haakon Haakonson, co-king of Norway, and secondly, Henry I, Prince of Werle
2. Valdemar Birgersson, born c 1238, king of Sweden 1250–1275, lord of parts of Gothenland until 1278
3. Christina Birgersdotter, married presumably several times, one of her husbands was lord Sigge Guttormsson
4. Magnus Birgersson, born 1240, Duke (of Södermanland), then king of Sweden 1275-90
5. probably: Catherine of Sweden, born 1245, married Siegfried, Count of Anhalt
6. Eric Birgersson, born 1250, Duke (of Småland)
7. probably: Ingeborg of Sweden, born ca. 1254, died 30 June 1302, married John I of Saxony, Duke of Lauenburg in 1270
8. Benedict, Duke of Finland, born 1254, bishop of Linköping

Carole, are the Raleigh and Smalley connections correct now? Let me know if they aren't. I did some of the merging as well.

Carole, who is Edward Smalley supposed to be married to? The tree has 3 wives for him: Elizabeth Short, and 2 Elizabeth Throckmorton's with different DOB's One looks to be the same as Sir Walter Raleigh's wife.

Carole, I have taken Edward Smalley off as Elizabeth Throckmorton's husband, and merged his Elizabeth Throckmorton wives with Sir Walter Raleigh's wife. I didn't change Elizabeth Short's name to Shurt, or do anything with her. I didn't find any other husband for Elizabeth Throckmorton when I did an online search.

Well, I'll leave the Raleigh/Throckmorton/Smalley connection up to you and others- I'm no expert in this line, by any means. They only opinion I'll offer is that Elizabeth Throckmorton never married Edward Smalley. I enjoyed reading what you found. Interesting stories!

I thought there was a "kill this zombie" discussion, but I am not finding it.

Can someone kills this zombie:

Thanks.

Anita, it is now dead (and public).

Good luck with the merger!

@Carole
divorce granted

wish they lived happely ever after :-)

could someone please correct these parents
John Garner, of Cherry Point Neck
he is the son of richard and katheryrn(sp) she was dunked as a witch

Kathy - done.

There were only 32, I think, so I took them over.

If someone else would rather have one/some/all of them, let me know and I'll give them to you.

Tammy, they are good hands for now. If family comes forth later and wants them, I know you will transfer management.

Anyone following this discussion ! Please, take part in this discussion :
"How much power do curators have ?" started by my son, Marc Møldrup Andersen.
Some of you are ruining a lot of fine work, that Marc have spent more than 2 years doing.
Is it really so important for many of you to be related to all kings, actors, politicians etc. in the world, so its worth spoiling everything in other peoples trees to make all those fake-lines and filling them with names of people, who have never excisted except in some peoples imaginations ? I really cant see the point.
Obviously GENI isn`t for anyone, whos only wish is to create a private family-tree. My son have said NO to everyone, who wanted to collaborate with him. Anyway, he can now see his profiles being re-named, birth- and deathyears changes etc. and even seeing himself being deleted as manager on his own profiles.
Is this the "help" that curators can offer ?
---
Anyone up for a clear answer ?

It is impossible that someone get deleted as a manager. As him to take a closer look.

Mr. Hansen, please see what I wrote in response in the other discussion. I do not know what fake lines you are talking about, so if you would please be more concrete in your accusations and provide supporting evidence, we curators who are doing everything to diligently maintain a well-researched and verified tree can better look into your concerns.

And as Bjorn noted, no one is ever deleted as manager. When two or more profiles are merged, the management becomes shared. Some of the common historical profiles have hundreds of managers.

Renaming may be happening because we do have a set of standard naming conventions that we use to maintain the consistency of information and accessibility in the search index. You may see these on the wiki.geni.com site.

Eric:
Instead of making accusations, wouldn't It be better to ask for possible explanations? The things the Geni Program does are often hard to understand. The curators are hard working and knowledgeable volunteers who have been very helpful to other users.

Why don't you participate in cleaning up? You could request that your profiles were marked as Masterprofiles. The Curators do their best cleaning faulty profiles, if you or your son hasn't merged when requested, then you are part fault because in Geni you must decide witch profiles that are related to your tree. Families don't just appear out of the blue, and there will always be relatives around your tree and you must decide witch are the right ones. Be constructive and use it to your advantage, broaden your family tree. By not collaborating with others you have made it difficult for yourself because you don't have any privileges over collaborators profiles. Thats why you loose control when profiles are merged, if you collaborated with the managers who made the merge you would keep the rights.
