ATTENTION Curators, please assist

Himiltrude

Please can someone add the above problem profile to the clean-up project:
http://www.geni.com/projects/Charlemagne-Emperor-of-the-West

The option to add to project doesn't appear for a non-curator on this profile.

You don't have to be a curator to add a profile to a project:
1) You have to be a project collaborator
2) The profile must be public and you must have edit access to the profile, either as manager or collaborator to one of the managers.

Hmm, that makes sense. But does that mean curators can't work with these profiles if they're misplaced on the tree either?

To all,
When I logged on to Geni this morning I noticed that somehow all my NNs have been changed to UNKNOWNs. Could this have been done by one of my collaborators, or a Curator, or was it perhaps a system process implemented by Geni programmers?

Incidentally, the NNs that were changed to UNKNOWNs are not Public. They are in my Family Group.

Just check the Revision tab so see who did this.

I doubt that a curator would do that, especially since UNKNOWN is breaking the naming rules, both because it is all uppercase, and also because it is not international enough.

If I rename NN profiles it would be to ?? which is understood in most languages (and how many really knows what NN is an acronym for)

Sharon, - curators can add all public profiles to a project if they are a member of a project, but personally I prefer collaboration access as well if it is a single-manager profile like this.

Anyhow, Henn have merged the profile into the main line which is a part of the project.

"NN" is is popular with 46,000+ profiles on geni.com
"Unknown" is used for 378,000+ profiles

See this project for additional information and some tools to help you find "unknown" profiles that you are connected to: http://www.geni.com/projects/The-unknown-profiles

Private profiles 1700-1800s manager is unresponsive.

Randy, there are a large number of 'unknown' profiles because that is the Geni Default before a name is entered.

Patrick, your profiles must be private, as I cannot see any details. I'm not sure if curators have more power to do this any simpler, but what I would do is create a new Julia Dempsey as the wife of "J Dempsey", reassign the parents of their children to this new marriage, then "divorce" "J Dempsey" from the other Julia Dempsey. This should separate the trees.

It might be easier to edit the profile, go to relationships, wait for the relationships to load and remove the bad one

Would someone kindly merge these profiles for me?

Thanks...

Sally, have you tried to collaborate with Nancy Duarte Coon

Today I had two very odd results when I tried to find the relationship between myself and a colonial American.
Lydia Cobb is one and Governor Robert Treat is the other, but it has to be a bug in Geni or some quirk in the tree.

What happens is that I end up a 20th granddaughter of a colonial American (e.g. Governor Treat and Lydia Cobb) and in between I see Jane Lathrop (Fuller) who is about my 9th great grandmother and who is either contemporaneous with the 20th great grand-ancestor or a century older. Now that's quirky!

I think it should be suggested to the curators that there needs to be a 24hr Charlemagne Profile Watch set in place on Geni ;->

Kathy, will do

Hatte someone needs to get some DOBs on the Paine/Payne profiles. Everything looks good through William Payne, Sr. (b. 1502) -- after that point there are no dates and the Paynes obviously got tied up into the family of the American Revolutionary 200+ years later.

Please tell me - am I able to post a merge request if I'm not a pro yet?
And why not? :-)

Henny you do not have to be a Pro to request a merge. The tree match feature _is_ Pro-only, so you would have to search to find a match, then probably request collaboration with the profile manager.

not only was Sarah married at the age of 6, but her daughter was born several years after her death.

She was a talented lady.

Now THAT'S a zombie

Hi, can someone take a look at this
http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000006207482567

I got over 20 request yesterday to merge Unknows to Unknows, which as I looked at them there were dates form 1350 to merge to 1850 and in between. I started to delete the request, but this is a real mess, and I can't break a lot of the merges that were already done. I left about 6 of the requests to see if you want to look at who is requesting thses

@richard, that's a tangle! May take me a while and I may send you private messages with questions, but we will see what we can do.

Could I please have some help with Marguerite Martin? I cannot assign her to the correct parents (the master profiles for Marguerite Langlois and Abraham Martin dit l'Écossais. Thank-you in advance!

Answer to Mike Stangels reply to my post.
Thank you for your answer :)
However I find it strange that there isn't an easier way to merge duplicates. Maybe Geni ought to have a look at that side of the duplicates problem.
- There is no match in my case, because the names in my Danish profiles are written in the Danish way in accordance with the Danish churchbooks.
In the trees in my profiles' new home country their names are spelt in another way. E.g. Danish Peder - English Peter.
- Think I'll have to ask a curator for help with merge requests. And hopefully Geni will have a look at that kind of problem.

Heather, the name is Marguerite Martin, not Marguerite Racine.
It is historically incorrect (and legally incorrect) to refer to French women (both in Canada and in France) by their husbands' last name.

Her title was Mme. Racine but her name remained the name of her baptismal certificate.

Private User, I agree with you with regards to the names. I need to go back and correct many of my ancestors with regards to that.
Many times I do not notice due to my viewing setitngs.
