Somehow Isaac Doty, Sr.@Isaac Doty/Doughty got made the father of my 7th great grandfather Joseph Doty@Joseph Doty/Dotey, Jr instead of my real 8th great grandfather Joseph Doty@Joseph Doty

What can be done to correct this?

@Michael Douglas Dean, I am not familiar with this tree so can you please guide me? If Isaac is not father of Joseph Jr but of Joseph snr where should Edward 1600-1655 be?

Hi I have another few merge requests:

Terry Jackson (Switzer) - Edward Doty is the father of both Isaac Doty and Joseph Doty Sr. Joseph Doty Sr. is the father of Joseph Doty Jr.

@Michael I've had a bit of a go at it but there is some work still to do I think. I have sent a message to a curator who is probably more familiar with this area.

Terry Jackson (Switzer) Thanks. It does tend to get very confusing. It seems every Doty family used the same names for their children, especially in those early generations.

That's ok Michael, many families did repeat names ad infinitum. I recently rehashed the de Bohun Tree and there were about 11 males of the same name and most of them married ladies called Mathilda or Maud which is interchangeable!

requests done

Fred thanks.

I have two questions that I posted on the Dutch pages, but that may be interesting for more people:

I asked the collaborate with someone because I have a lot of data in common and want to build on the data that is already there.
That person has not answered the request.
What should I do?

I see data that I think are not correct and the owner of the profile does not respond to a message.
What should I do?

GENI is absolutely brilliant in allowing non-computer experts to accurately build and maintain their tree and collaborate with others. The ability to add photos and other forms of documentation is great. The problem is the missing "UNDO" button for tree managers. Someone mistakenly merged two different people on my tree and caused major havoc. One person ended up with an extra "husband" and all of his family along with two different sets of parents. I would recommend some safeguards. Being on the edge of the tree is one thing but having two different sets of parents is a very big clue that something is wrong. I submitted the "chain saw" request for correcting my tree and waited. Finally, GENI implemented a new "CHAT" and I got a hold of someone who escalated the matter to their support team. Charles managed to fix the matter in minutes. I am extremely happy that he resolved the issue. From a computer science perspective I would like to make the following recommendation. Each person or node in the true must have a unique identity. When a merge occurs GENI must decide which of the two unique identities must be retained and which must be "discarded". If they would add a field in the structure of the node or a link for chaining repeatedly merged people, a manager could be able to identify merged people and perform an "UNMERGE" which would split the node into two restoring the original identity to the one which was lost in the merge. GENI would then notify both managers of the UNMERGE and they would be able to examine and correct any information which got attached to one person or the other in the merge process. Obviously, the algorithm of the unmerge can incorporate much more intelligence that I can outline here but this could be very helpful to non-computer expert managers and get rid of problems that can only be handled today by GENI technical support.
In conclusion GENI is brilliant and I am extememly pleased. Thank you.

Geni isn''t brillant at all, and the ability to add photo's, forms, documentation, sources, etc. isn't great.
That is the reason why Geni with his staff and curators are working hard to improve Geni. The undo tool is under development and a lot of other improvements too. Users, curators and other contributors proposed and and are proposing and discussing a lot of improvements, but all needs time ! You're welcome with your suggestions, don't hesitate to open new discussions for every suggestion of an improvement. We'll appreciate that. But what we also appreciate sometimes is patience.

There could be more conflicts in this tree I did only a quick search

Hey Job, I did a few things there. But, the situation around Floris I and Floris II van der Woert looks a bit 'messy' to me. I think that people are mapped to wrong relatives (in relationship to the van Voornes and Merwedes). Perhaps you're working on it, so I don't change anything. But, if you need some help, just say so!

George,

Thanks. I dis some joins later in time, but saw there where some problems earlier in time. I will look at it and see if I have information enough to know how to fix it.

George,

I see a problem with the parents of Claes Aerentsz de Oude
As far as I know Willem 'bastaard' de Cuser does not belong there. Are you able to disconnect them?

George,

By looking over the merges I saw a few new merges

I hope to have time to look at it tonight.

George,

I cannot assign the parents for Beatrijs van Foreest (mother should be NN)

I'll do it later on today, Job!

Job: ondanks herhaalde berichten aan jou blijf je je vragen te algemeen stellen. bovenstaande is geen vraag. het is een opsomming van linken waaruit niets van een probleem blijkt.
als je een link geeft, doe dat dan met een probleem of op zijn minst met het probleem dat jij hebt. curators hebben wel wat beter te doen dan te gissen naar wat jij bedoelt

Fred,
