Could a curator or other knowledgeable person please help with this: A GeniPro user whom I don't know and am not related to merged their tree with mine and altered at least one profile (James Carter, Jr). I did not authorise the merge and I don't know how this could happen.

My questions are
Can a curator help me reverse all the changes that this other person made?
How can I see if there were any other changes or merges made by this person?
How can I prevent this happening in future?

Thanks in advance.

I am undoing a merge on James Carter, Jr

I just want to see if the two profiles and/or trees are diffrent

Ok here are the trees of the two profiles James Arnold Carter, Sr.
https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000000836612034

and ((No Name)
https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000034101093384

I may have to get Geni customer service involved that will be Monday

Angus Wood-Salomon Thank you so much!

I've disconnected the too young parents. Now you can add the correct ones...
Best,
Simon

Need help splitting tree. Oliver Cromwell Cleveland

Parents should be Jacob Cleveland and Martha Lyons.

Thanks

Private User,
Olivers parents are now Jacob Cleveland and Martha Lyons.

Not sure what's going on here, but it looks like a bad merge --

Sir Robert Illey

has two sets of parents; the correct ones are actually Illeys -- besides the evidence of name, a History of Norfolk says that Robert's father was Edmund Illey.

Can it get fixed?

thanks!

Private User, thanks for reporting it.
I undid the merge and messaged Ben M. Angel about it.

Thanks!

Here's another -- not sure what's going on here, since one of the dads is private (though we're in the 1500s) -- have contacted managers but no response; is it a bad merge? Can it get fixed?

Gjurd Gunnarson Sodeland

Private User,

I have made the zombie profile deceased.

Kevin

Yay!

There is a Bug with Sir Robert Illey, the original person who entered the profile on October 23, 2007 is not listed, I was not the first to enter this profile, I joined in 2009.

I'm thinking the original manager would be James Frederick Pultz, since he entered the profile for the dau. Sybil Boys (Illey) on October 23, 2007, same date listed for Robert Illey.

Private User
I have run the zombie script on Gjurd Gunnarson Sodeland so his duplicate father can be merged.

Thanks, Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy,Vol. Curator!

All is fixed now, both profiles.

And I'm back!

Can we have some help with

Ralph Brome

oh, please?

Two lines got merged, and should not have been; Ralph now has two fathers with the same name, but one is born about 200 years later and really needs to get disattached.

Did work with manager, but things then got even more confused.

many many thanks to the curator geniuses.

Can I have someone's help making this persons private children deceased and public. They were all born in the 1800's and I doubt they are still living.

Levie Sajet

Steve Jaron ... I took care of those. Please note there is a separate discussion for requesting "Zombie killing" (i.e.: profiles that ought to be deceased but aren't set that way): http://www.geni.com/discussions/142109

Thanks @Dan Cornett
I've been at the Jewish Genealogy Conference in Israel all day and I had forgotten...

Private User - I unmerged the Ralph Brome (who's son was way older than the other Ralph's father!). Should be better now.

Thanks! That was all that was needed.

I came across another:

Margaret Tyrrell

has four parents; the right ones are William de Heron and Isabel Swinburne.

many thanks!

After this I'll stop for the day:

Margaret Livingston

needs to get unlinked from Bernard Livingston. As you see, the dates are messed up; all of her supposed children are born before she is.

It's possible that she did indeed marry Bernard, but the kids aren't hers -- their mother is named Sybilla, also from Germany, as Bernard was. (I'm getting all this from a history of Orangeburg as quoted on http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/m/a/y/Brenda-S-Mayberry/GENE1-0004.html)

I've contacted the managers, but the problem seems to be too big for them to fix.

Margaret needs to get unhooked from the kids at least; I think it's ok to leave her connected to Bernard, as there seems to be some evidence to that.

But she can't be the mother of the children.

Thanks, Anne

Yay! Hooray! Thank you, Angus Wood-Salomon!

Is there someone able to merge these two and change his spouse to see spouse, as in the main profile. Then children have to be merged, but I think, I can do this. The initial problem is, I do not get a "yes, merge these two" button...

Same story as above... different merge candidates.
