FYI: Matts Eliasson Jäntti has a nice match (albeit a duplicated one) to a MyHeritage tree showing with the SmartMatches; has parents and siblings.
I've found an abandoned user profile (part of the World Tree) who has private profiles in the 1600s blocking merges.
I used the Actions button on the profile intending to Report him as abandoned but there was a ctually an Abandoned Tree optin without any need to use the Report option(?). When i chose this option i then got a red error bar "Unable to find a replacement manager."
Now when i try to Report there is no option for Abandoned Tree(?). So what should i do next?
One action available is Add to Family Group, if i did that would Geni then make me the replacement manager? Or would it just hang up waiting for the other guy to accept an invite to my family?
Alex Moes Once you have reported an abandoned tree, you can not report it again. Hopefully Geni will release his unclaimed profiles but you will not know if or when they do with links, curators might be able to make them public.
Private User, this isn't a curator-specific request, so you will probably have your best success if you make a dedicated thread just for sorting out his ancestry. Trying using the "Discussions" tab on the profile.
This thread is use for requesting help with things that require the use of curator tools.
Hey, I'm new here and am wondering how or if I can join a family tree, or at the least correct errors made in regards to family members of mine already on here. (Eldon Clark (C) is the person who manages the profiles with errors).
Not very computer literate, so please keep that in mind when answering.
Thanks
Michael Schick, we should be able to assist with that. I'm going to tag Eldon Lester Clark so he is aware. He's probably the best person to help you get connected into that tree and will likely send you a private message to get things started.

As far as I can see the pending merge of Johanne Kirstine Marie Knudsen born Madsen (Ladefoged) is not a private profile or tree. Neither her husband Andreas Knudsen.
Henny
Another way to phrase it is
The profiles are public, but the tree is private & UN connected to the "world tree"
I know that because I see the message
"No path found to Johanne Kristine Marie Madsen Ladefoged"
But for your profile I see the message
"You are connected to Johanne Kirstine Marie Knudsen (Madsen (Ladefoged)).
You
→ How are you related? → Johanne Kirstine Marie Knudsen (Madsen (Ladefoged)) your relative?"
So
- send a "collaboration request" to the other manager, and if you like, point out how the profiles are a match, and collaborating will bring new cousins to her tree.
Hope this helps.
Can you please help me resolve data conflict issues...
Leslie Vides is an older gentlemen who doesn't visit Geni anymore, as such this merge issue isn't being resolved. It's a very minor issue
http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/1203402
See main profile, media tab. His name is spelled Leslie on his marriage certificate.
The following are nickname or capitalization variations and have been outstanding for years, it's unlikely anyone still visits who has the ability to correct it
http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000007311823350 Cohen versus cohen
http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000001275985520 Jeffrey is preferable to Jeff
http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000002453453436 this is my brother, his name is Steven
http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000002466060240 my cousin's name is Robert
This one is logically incorrect http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000002894541648 on the part of manager Susan Druck. Errors are self evident as per profile (she was born Stern and married Dolinsky)
Wow! you guys are amazing!!!
I realized I have a few more
http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6166 (this is Leslie's wife), Her nickname is Mickie, real name is Miriam, born Brenner (as confirmed by Leslie's marriage certificate in post above) and married to become Vides
and
as per the logic of her profile page, http://www.geni.com/merge/resolve/6000000002566546627 was born Cook (no E) and married Cooke (with an E)
In addition, her name should be capitalized.
Thanks again!!!
Larry, I actually *did* approve your first one, but I'm going to revert my changes now that I see it's a claimed profile. Since that is an actual, active Geni user, she has the right to set their name as they see fit. If you would like her to change her profile, you should ask her directly.
For that reason, I will *not* resolve your second data conflict, as that is also for an active Geni user. Again, you should contact her directly to suggest the change.
