Done, Carole.

Sally, as this is your own profile, you SHOULD be able to delete him yourself. Just go into the tree and click the x in the top-right corner of the box, if it's there, or the "Remove" option at the bottom of the flip-node that opens when you put your mouse over the box.

okay I diapproved the merge for the 2 Samuels - I went to the tree version the dates somewhat match - the spouses are the same - but Samuel's parents bare different names in the profiles - i will have to do some research on this to see which set of parents is correct for Samuel

The two fathers are different people

Today at 12:54 PM can you explain further

Cyndi Mahler
Today at 11:41 AM Dear Judi / Judith Elaine,

I am contacting you about this profile: @http://www.geni.com/people/Esther-or-Hester-Marshfield/600000000121...

I think I just made a bad merge! I am so sorry!

Sincerely,

Cyndi Mahler

Esther or Hester Marshfield

Sally, I did the two merges.
Without actually seeing the Samuel Baker profile mentioned above, it sounds like there has been a merge of 2 Samuel Baker profiles. To just delete it would delete the other profile, as well. The manager wouldn't be happy about that. If the Samuel Baker profile can be merged into the correct place on the tree, it can then be disconnected from the incorrect parents. Nothing will have been lost in the process.

Could someone please assist with the following merge:

Thanks!

Barbara, edit your own profile, relationships tab. Scroll to the bottom and look for the line that links him to you. Check the "remove" box, and then click on Remove.

Carole Ann: Done!

Is there someone out there who could possibly complete the following merges:

http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000010209395360?from_flash=1&...
http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000010209028060?from_flash=1&...

The other manager hasn't been online since 2008.

Thanks!

Lesleie Ann I think you'll have to contact Geni Help and point out that this person hasn't been online since 2008 and request management of their profiles.

What I didn't mention is that this profile is too recent to be a 'public' proflie and so even as a curator I could not complete the merge.

Unfortunately the manager of those two profiles is the only one who will be able to edit/merge them, as they are private profiles with him (and only him) in their maximum family group range.

Ok I will help Sally from here on in...

Leslie, Terry, there is a new option to report abandoned profiles. From the profile, More Actions, Report, drop down menu Abandoned Tree

Thanks for the info Eldon. Terry, I just have a question -- what exactly does "too recent" mean? The two profiles I mentioned both died in the 1800s - that certainly isn't recent. Could you explain the guidelines when it comes to that?

Thanks!

Leslie,
in the context pf Curators abilities to "kill" these zombie profiles (or even to do anything at all on them), "too recent" means that they have actual [living] Geni users within their Family-Group (anybody closer than 3rd great-grandparents, their descendants, i.e. 4th cousins). This works out to 6 generations of ancestors.

So if, for example, your uncle or even grandparent registered with Geni, then the profiles of HIS 3rd great-grandparents would be private.

This works out to having the majority of profiles for people born after around 1850 to be private, unless an actual family member manually makes them public. This line is variable, of course, depending on the actual family. I have seen private profiles for as early as 1800 in certain long-lived families.

We Curators have the option to CHECK if a specific private profile should be public, but if it's too close to a Geni user we'll get a "Can't make this profile public" message.

Thanks Shmuel-Aharon for the explanation, I appreciate it!

I believe it's 5 generations, but otherwise Shmuel is right on the money.

@ Elizabeth Crow (Green or Sheafer)
@ Mary Coleman (Crow)

I can't seem to get the spouses and parents corrected. It looks like several generations got mixed up in merges. Can somebody help? Thanks

Thank You

Carole, done!

Well, you don't have much information your self ;-)

However: By looking on the tree of your profile, William Rankin, must be born around 1800, and if you take a closer look on the other profile you will see that it is private, - and if you take an even closer look you will see that the manager is the son.

I canceled that merge request, but if you want to recheck your self, this is the second profile: William Rankin I

If you suspect that it is a claimed historical profile Geni last night released a Report menu item in the "More Actions" menu of all profiles.

Sally, you are the manager, you need to edit her profile and make her public.

Can any curator help with this, Cecilie Nygård manages one profile and I manage four. Need control to mark them to tell them apart.

what about dates by the "living" name?

Kathy, the father b.1930 d. 1996, so they are probably living. If you have the dates, you can enter them if a manager you collaborate with gets management.

This one needs a curator. Two MPs to be merged.
