ATTENTION Curators, please assist

Dan Cornett: There are two instances for the following profiles Kurt Scheier and Frida Scheier. They are husband and wife, but also first cousins on my mother's side of the family. How can this be resolved? or should it be resolved?

That is not that unusual......it is probably fine......tho we do not allow that close a marriage now, it was often the case in the past......you will sometimes find a marraige certif in the 1800's where the parties have to state that they are not closer than 2nd cousins....(a result of too close 1st cousin marriages being panned as not proper?)

It'sstill legal in Britain. I have several instances of it in my family.

Anything that's physically possible for humans to do has happened at one time or another, and the results, if documented, need to be represented on Geni.

I have at least 2 cases where a woman bore a child with her own father (one from saga times, one historical times) - in both cases, the sources are very clear on this being the case.

As Fay said, in New England in the early part of the Great Migration, I've found many instances of 1st cousin marriages. Well, given the paucity of choices it was bound to happen. I would like to know how the GENi relationship algorithm calculates that, though... because you end up with a lot of "double" relationships.

Quite often you will see a number in the lower left of a profile....for duel relationships.....(the person appears in 2 trees)....

You see the number in 'tree' view...

Thanks for all the input. In other words, it should be left alone. I have other instances in my tree where there are marriages between cousins - however, this is the only instance where 1st cousins married. There were no children from this union. I will ignore the notation of there being duplicates in my tree for this relationship.

Private User -- No, no reason to leave the duplicates - merge them. You want to create a "cycle". I suspect the info you were looking for may be here:

@dan cornett please merge duplicate for Lynn m laughton's (soucy) profile Private User
Marybeths mother is Lynn M laughton not Lynn perkins.

Please merge duplicate profile for Abraham Groomsfelt Jones

I competed the merges.

Lois Lublin: I looked at your response and also the help file. Apparently these profiles are already part of a "cycle", so there is nothing more to be done. The places where they appear in the tree are appropriate to their parents and also to their spouse. I guess that there is no way to combine them into one according to the explanation given. I can live with them being in the tree twice.

Are there any instructions on how to update a profile picture that is not my own?

You need management to do that or family group with one of the managers of the profile. Or best contact the manager to do that for you in case the manager is active.

Please remove this mistaken merge from my tree.

William, are you saying Michael Joseph Durant is the correct child of Patrick and Ann(a) Durant, and the 5 listed in your post are incorrect? I want to make sure I'm clear before I do anything.

William, now as I reread, I think I have it backwards: the five listed in your post are the correct children of Patrick and Ann(a); Michael Joseph is the incorrect child. Right?

Michael Joseph Durant is not the child of Patrick and Anne.

William, it's correct now.

How can you let someone look at your tree when they are not in your tree

Done.

Is it possible to represent both the adopted relationship and the biological relationship of a person, i.e. someone's half-brother (same mother, different father) being adopted by that someone's father, and if so, how?

No great solutions I'm afraid. Here's how William J. Clinton, 42nd President of the USA is represented

Here's how Steve Jobs is represented

Thank you cousin Erica.
