How can we best find orphans that have birthdates and locations of birth?

Sally - Your 9:12 post regarding the parents is done.

Sally - Reg. your 8:53 merge question, I've removed the match. Good catch. Not only were the dates off, they had different parents, too!

Sally - 8:58 I've removed that as well. Incest or something...

Could someone please assist with this merge:

Thanks!

Leslie - All merged up!

Thanks Jenna -- you are awesome! You wouldn't want to do this one and the ones surrounding him by chance, would ya? ;-) http://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000008260442128?fsession_id=1...

Thanks!

Leslie - Got that one, too!

Thanks Jenna - you're still awesome ;-)

Marv,
Go to any fabric or crafts store. I am sure you can find a scissors charm you can attach to your shirt to show your snipping expertise.

This is my 3rd great grandmother, Mercy (Bates) Penhollow:

Unknown Profile

This other public profile is also my 3rd great grandmother:

Unknown Profile

I have tried to contact the profile manager, with no luck so far. I know there is a third profile for her as well, but it is marked private and I haven't heard back from that profile manager either.

Michael, I was able to merge your two grandmothers. They were both public, so I could get it done.

The third Mercy, if you can find her, I would be happy to see if I can help. Just type @ and my full name at the beginning of your message, and I'll get a notice. She died in 1894. In long-lived families, she may still be within the confines of a family group. It gets chancy with dates after 1850.

@Maria Edmonds-Zediker

Not sure if I'm doing this right.

Thanks for your help. Here is the other (private) Mercy Bates profile:

Unknown Profile

Sorry, messed up again. It's this one:

Mercy C Bates

Could someone please assist with the following merge:

Thanks!

Nope,- there are nine reasons why Emily Hess is a private profile, and the manager is one of them, - you have to go the usual way kindly asking the manager if he/she could consider making the profile public or accept family group access to complete the merges.

@Michael Douglas Dean
For some reason, my name didn't hyper-text so I just saw your post when I checked discussion.

The good new is that all your grandmothers appear to be merged together. I compared the profile you just gave me to the one we worked on earlier today. Both times the hyperlink takes me to the identical profile. You appear as one of the co-managers on that profile.

I rejected it Sally. At this point I am seeing OVERmerging so being extra cautious.

Yes there was something just a little off there somewhere -- so an unwind and try again. I'll work on it a bit.

Problem was that one of them was missing a father

Rebecca -> Abraham Pierce b. 1618 -> Abraham Pierce, Jr b. 1637

Rebecca Lothrop -> Abraham Pierce, Jr b. 1637

Last one was missing Abraham Pierce b. 1618

yes

Rebecca is married to Abraham Pierce b.1600

While Rebecca Lothrop is married to Abraham Pierce b.1600 and Abraham Pierce 1618
I would assume last Abraham is wrong

Judi, I am taking care of it for you.

Judi,
I have made Jacob an orphan and made him MP with curator note NOT to add Jonathan and Jerusha as parents. I included the link from the Emery Family Association on the overview.

Now, what about the wives? Based on the Emery Family Association, both wives look correct to me. Do you agree?

Maria - Yes both wives are correct - its just the parentage that is the question - -

i would of gladly add it into the 1982 revisions book printed volume no questions asked - if the facts added up - - and full documentation given other than just IGE/LDS - - - maybe i am wrong in feling this way - - but i just can not see jonathan emery & jershua Barron and i would of gladly added it in the ensuing years but no one could answer why just one child was born in Sussexk new jersey and all others in massachusetts, and maine.

maybe i am totlay wrong - - I will add Jacon to the present emery project or satart a new one just for his family and known facts - - i would love to solve the puszzle

thank you so much - - I have always thought he could be of the conrad Emery family from Hunterdon new jerssey - - but again there is no real connection to Sussex county new jersey === and there is nothing there in the research on the line to correctly tie him itno that family - - and with the assumption that George emery and johana [-?-] Emery are his parents and that they were born or are from new york just adds another quirk and mystery into the family

Jacob now has locked "NN" - no name -- master profiles for his parents -- Thank you, Gene4, my curator buddy, for creating those.

I left the two wives alone. Is there anything else that this profile needs from a curator?

Judi,
I take the LDS program with a large grain of salt. Users create profiles, just as we do here on Geni, but there's no collaboration, no merging of profiles to create the best possible profile. Just like Geni, some users will include their sources and some won't; some sources will be correct and some won't. I always try to cross check an LDS profile against other sources before using them.

Maria - me too - - that is whay I have never added jacob to the john and anthony Emery manuscript back when i was demanded to do - so and never have thus far

i have only had one major disccusiion which was about a year ago in whihc i produced an excell sheet fro all fo john Emery's decendants down to the family of Jonathan and jersusa barron and their grandchildren priving they had absolutely no connection to New jersey - -

right at this moment i think the problem is solved - if proof is ever even to an indisputable point i think we can all agree he can be added back into the emeyr's without much trouble -

ii have just heard from an Emery descendant on anthony's side who diescends from anthony - - but he also has a known lineage from jacob which connects up with and to the jacob emery of Susses county new jersey - - I am awwaiting to see what inf he has which should prove interesting .

Thanks to gene4 too for his input - i know I am being a PIA about this and may sound like I am being to pickey - -

I have created a project listing the highlights of what I know of Jacob Emery of sussex county New jersey - and will add it as an Interst to the Emery project too

again many thanks for listneing and considering ....

Glad we could help, Judi.

I am not on the Curators list, but today i started out with some cleaning myself. On Joan DeFurmuall there were over 900 merge issues. I have been at it 16 hours and still have 300 left.
