ATTENTION Curators, please assist

As a Basic user i can state unequivocably that Geni Search still blocks search results with a pop up.

I can also say there are at least 3 Lyman Payne profiles, not sure if they are all for the same man though.

People need to differentiate between doing a Search and seeing what you are told on the one hand -- and clicking on the results of the Search (including Contact Manager or Send Message) on the other.

Basic Users do not need to ask Curators to do Searches -- but may need help from Curators (or Pros) to contact managers and/or send messages to folks with claimed profiles that they discover thru their Searches. (and may still need to use the Google work-around to actually go to to see Public Profiles)

I went ahead with the private message inquiring about a merge. Both of you are included on the mail.

Alex Moes,
I'm not sure you wish to know if the 3 Lyman Payne profiles are the same but I'll tell you anyway since I checked :-)

The first one is private and is a duplicate of the third. The third one is a public profile Lyman Warner Payne.

The second profile is a different person. They are all males.

Thank you Ann, you're right though i didn't care :)

Thank you, Erica!

As Ann says, there are three Lyman Paynes, apparently two with the middle name Warner, and mine's middle name is Stephen. I admit to being a fanatic about middle names, but I can't see if all three are the same. I keep getting a message about merge issues, which I try to fix, and am not allowed to because I will split the tree. I have tried to edit, etc. Therefore, Erica, you are the light at the end of the tunnel and I so appreciate your help on this one. I hit a snag on someone having a guy who lived back, wayyy back, as private, also. Justin did an excellent job on explaining how that works, but I think this person may have had an embarrassing piece of history that he didn't want to share.

Thank you and I appreciate your time and efforts,

Susie

Eldon Clark (C), you need a hug!!!! You found and fixed my Lyman Stephen Payne!!!!! If I join PRO, does that allow me to "see" duplicated files???

Thank you to all who took me seriously, and Eldon, consider yourself very much appreciated, also,

Susie

This profile should be deleted as a spouse of Abraham Eber Rosenberg. This will cause a split tree.

I have contacted the profile managers without any response. See about section. Esther KlienMan

Marie Gaschet

I need help removing from my tree a parent connection that was made. The above Marie Gaschet link was thought to be the daughter of Thomas Beaumont and that turned out to be incorrect. How can I, or someone, sever the limb? I deleted what I could, but some things have been usurped beyond my control.

Timothy LeVier: Disconnected.

Can anyone help me locate this profile on GENI Eliza M. Bennett Jennings other than the locked out on by Darline Bennett

her first husband, Henry "Harry" Bennett son of Joseph R. Bennett and Mary L. Bennett (nee Dunham). Her father was William Garline Van Deventer, and her mother was Sarah E. Cross.

I have information to add snet by another but the message did not contain any link back to her -

I have tried every variation of her name to include Bennett, Vandeventer (variously spelled) ect

Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns do you want me to bribe erica to help you?

Anyone can help I have entered any and all the variations I could think of into all fields, first, middle, birth name, surname; display name

I have also just tried the Suriname and spouse surname fields leaving everything else blank

I just wish everyone would use the contact button on the profile that produces the link back to the profile - so many refuses to do this and it is aggravating

I have not heard back from the person and Iam about ready to dump the info out of my message box

Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns
would the profile you are looking for be added & managed by you?

Eliza (Lidie) Jannings

These are the only 2 profiles for her including the private (No Name) in the stand alone tree.

Thanks @Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy,Vol. Curator

She did not Include that name in her message to me but that is the one -
like I said she did not use the contact profile button - but my view of it I do not see it probably because I am the person who added and manages it -

I will proceeded to add her info to it and maybe she will connect to it

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make another profile for a wife of Jacob by the same name.
Then merge the two Jannetje profiles.
Cutting the link between Jannetje and Hendrina will be easy as will changing her gender.

There is already a profile for Jannetje Josephs wife of Jacob David Fonteijn. We just need to merge them.

Hello Curators. Need help with this merge please:

http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000020250969749?from_flash=1&...

@Sandra Alison Levien : Hi! Is Peggy living ?

Curators--HELP!
I invited my brother-in-law's brother-in-law to join Geni. I entered him & his wife into Geni... her profile was @ Pauline Chapman (Rollins) but he changed her name to Ernie Pauline & added his parents & several generations back from there. He became the manager of that profile & I couldn't make any changes--did attempt to do a merger, but it had to go thru him for approval. He apparently went back into her profile Pauline Chapman (Rollins) & did make some changes, but it is no longer attached to her brother's profile (@William Rollins, my sister's husband) & his line (Chapman) of ancestors shows in the tree as being her ancestors.

He has done extensive research & documented everything on Ancestory.com so wasn't intending to repeat a lot of the Chapman/Rollins line here in Geni.

At present the personal info for Pauline is correct, but her first name is actually Emma, but she goes by her middle name of Pauline. (I suggested that he put her first name as (Emma) & middle name: Pauline & make a note of this in the nickname box. As I can't see her profile info because it is private I can't make any changes.

My brother-in-law's profile is public, but his sister (Pauline) & her husband, Ernest Chapman are still alive so their profiles are private.

I hope someone can help me untangle this branch & get it reconnected to my brother-in-law's profile (William Lawrence Rollins)

Hugs,
Pat

Request to join his family group.

The profile of Pauline Chapman (Rollins) is a claimed profile, i.e a Geni user and as yourself, by default, only the user him/herself can make changes on his/her profile.

I have switched their parents, but if Pauline Chapman (Rollins) is your brother-in-law's brother-in-law we have to switch again and rename.

Patricia......technically she is Emma Pauline Chapman but if she preferred, she could have only Pauline Chapman in the 'display' area......that would serve all purposes...

But since she is now a claimed profile, you will have to request to join HIS family group.....perhaps he will be OK with the modification.....since only Pauline Chapman would show in tree view.

The best solution would be for him to log back on and fix the mess he has made, are you able to contact him outside of Geni? He obviously has more than a passing interest in genealogy (the ancestry tree) so should want an accurate (if small) representation here on Geni.

@ Samuel..I don't know but I will find out and fix it. Thank you.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. He contacted me @ my home email & we are still working on untangling it.

Pat

cheers Dan

Greetings my fine feathered curators :-)

Could someone please unlink John Aires from Edmond Le Strange

There is no proven parents for John Aires and he is definitely not the son of Edmond LeStrange. This Edmond who was the son of Sir Thomas le Strange, of Hunstanton did not have any children.

Refer to this website about the Le Strange families => http://www.arapacana.com/reference/hypotheses.html

Thanks!
