Dear Curators,

Apologies, I believe I merged two different Edward Rosens Edward Alvin Rosen by mistake. Private User points out - one had parents David and Reba, the other Isaak and Hannah. Sorry, could you un-merge them please? I promise to be more careful in the future.

Also I have noticed a few more duplicates that Geni won't let me even ask to merge. Could someone please consider merging them (not at all urgent)?

(She is alive and well, thankfully, http://rebeccawoolis.com , but so Geni doesn't seem to support suggesting that these two profiles are the same person.)

Many thanks for all your help!!

done

Dimitri Vulis, the merge has been undone. rebecca woolis is a claimed, isolated profile. How do you know it is the same Rebecca Woolis as the daughter of Sol?

Brittany Christine Jenkins, his parents were removed from his profile.

Thank you Jim Wile!!

Thanks a lot Jim Wile !!

I am surprisingly confident that there is exactly one person with this unusual name in the world. Also, the profiles were created on May 29 and May 31, 2015. But more certainty would be even better.
(I sent geni invites to the e-mails of Rebecca and to her brother Bill via the profiles Merrill had created, but neither one accepted so far)
(Btw Sol's father David Woolis (Wulis) came to the U.S. and chose to spell his surname Woolis rather than Vulis or Wulis, as some other relatives did.)

(Update: minutes after I wrote this, she joined Geni on the 2nd profile that Merrill had created.)

Hugh Jones

Hugh needs to be separated from his parents because of the evidence found in this thread on Wikitree:

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/549027/are-hugh-jones-and-others-gatew...

I asked if he was on this list of Puritan Great Migration people who are connected to Magna Carta Signers, he isn't. It seems that the parents are unknown.

Please complete the merges,

HI Curators,

Please undo this BAD merge I just did. The mother Samantha is born in 1800s and is connected to daughter Amelia born in 1775, so definitely wrong!

Thank you.

Please undo the merge and also see my request above. Thank you.

Private User Hugh Jones was disconnected from not his parents & relationships locked

Great. I have another one.

Sir William Wilson, II

This guy doesn't have the right wife. Here is his profile on wikitree:

His wife should be Elizabeth Mansfield:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilson-667

Here's his wife's page:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mansfield-30

And the tree on wikitree:

https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wilson-Family-Tree-2735

The wife of John Wilson needs to be changed. Is there a profile of Elizabeth Mansfield?

The Wilson line is also a proven line to one of the Magna Carta signers. Wikitree proved that I have a connection to one and it might be a good idea to fix the tree here.

Here's what a genealogist on Wikitree said about the issue when I presented my path to the signer:

Congrats, the Wilson line is a proven line from the immigrant Elizabeth (Mansfield) Wilson on. The line was proven in an article by Anderson himself in 2001, and is included in Richardson's Royal Ancestry for easy tracing.

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register. vol. 155 no. 1 (January, 2001): 3-35. The Ancestry of the Royally-Descended Mansfields of the Massachusetts Bay, by Robert Charles Anderson, F.A.S.G., John C. Brandon, and Paul C. Reed, F.A.S.G. AmericanAncestors ($) LINK
Richardson, Douglas. Royal Ancestry: A Study In Colonial And Medieval Families, in 5 vols. (Salt Lake City, Utah, 2013): vol. II page 530.

So, we should probably change the wife.

Both done...Pls chk

Hi folks,

The following profile, and her husbands, has been in "request to merge" state for a very long time. It's not clear that the profile owner is still active.

Mary Cooper

I'd be happy to clean this up but the merge needs to actually happen beforehand.

Here's a book about the Magna Carta ancestry. It says how the Mansfield gores to Anne Eure and then to the Magna Carta signers: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8JcbV309c5UC&pg=RA1-PA130

Thanks, Angus!!

I want to invite a cousin but the mail it is not acepted

Can a curator please make this profile an MP please? Thomas Siffleet

Ignore the current suffix - just added for convenience whilst working on a tricky family with a lot of Thomases! I have made a note about the confusion with a Thomas Syflet of Kent (where the families have been confused in a few trees in Ancestry) and have been spending a lot of time on sorting out the tangled web of relationships up the line, so would hate to see things get messed up by an inadvertent merge.

Hi Private User, I have made Thomas an MP, this stops anyone from merging him with any other MPs but does nothing to stop merges with other profiles. Based on your comment in his About section that his family is 99% complete I have put a Relationship Lock (RL) onto his profile, this means only a Curator can now add children/parents/spouses to this profile. The big benefit of this is that if someone merges another (non-MP) Thomas profile with this one all the family members of that other Thomas will be disconnected instead of getting mixed into your tree.

For future reference there is a seperate Discussion page for requesting MPs https://www.geni.com/discussions/166171

PS Thomas has some data conflicts that need resolving, DOB, location. The currently displayed data may be correct but i do not know so if you can check the Reslove Data Conflicts option on the Actions menu of Thomas' profile that would be good

Hi Alex Moes - thanks very much for this, that's great. Also the info about the separate thread, which I've bookmarked and will try to remember for next time.

I didn't realise those data conflicts were still outstanding - I don't know why they didn't turn up on my Merge page, but anyway all done now. :-)

Could someone please complete the following merge => https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000069656802893?fsession%5Fi...

Thanks!

Thank you to whoever completed the merge. Lowell is deceased. Can you please mark him as such. Lowell Smith Hess

Thank you.

Private User,

I've reported him as deceased for you.

Kevin

Private User, done. Now the correct mother needs to be selected for the children.

Please undo the match between Jean Brown (born Loudon) and Jonet Wylie (Born Louden). They are not the same person. Jean married John Brown and Jonet married Robert Wylie.

Janet Louden

Thanks
