Sisters with the same name. The one on the left has a husband born 33 years after her - yes, it's a GEDCOM.

How does one add new information that has not been documented on a locked or MP profile? Lately I've had a number of these show up and when I try to add information the edit screens show up extremely small and will not allow any additions or corrections.

Can someone check on John Tower, Sr., of Hingham and what Deborah Ann TOWER reports at https://www.geni.com/discussions/185015?msg=1658053?

The data fields are not locked. Relationships and names are. She should be able to edit …

What information are you trying to add where in the profile? Data fields are not locked. Relationships are.

We show his parents as Robert Tower and Dorothy Damon & his wife as Margaret Ibrook.

Trying to add additional children's descendants and correct POB/POD/burials.

And if you go to the MP and click the edit pencil, you will see that name, birth, death and burial information are all locked.

Only the name field is locked for John Tower, Sr., of Hingham

Can someone else verify that for us?

What profile needs correcting?

Requested a merge on this (I thought about doing so anyway) but now I see that the duplicate's manager is inactive and there is no one available to transfer management.

Also thought I requested a merge on this one (or not), but the original is Private despite it being born around 1844. It also has an inactive manager.

Two MPs, same name and dates, both have wife named Martha, but the birth surnames are different. They both have a matching son named Michael.

One is a DAR patriot, has a memorial on FAG, and his wife is in the same cemetery.

I think they're supposed to match, but the one on the right is an import from the 2016 GoPro profiles, and some of them are a little wonky.

John Teague, of Stokes County Is not the same as John Teague, of Iredell County

I’ve tried to make the differences clearer & locked more relationships.

Not the same, I don’t think.

I’ll work on the Rebecca Cowen tree.

I did a merge on two profiles with the same manger and then merged it into the existing tree, but then I realized it was a GEDCOM in process and that there are multiple children with the same name. One of the children will match the dates of the existing profile, but one will have the same birth year, but totally different death, another one will match the death year, but have a totally different birth. Some are just all together off, but probably both supposed to be the same.

That link does NOT go to the two ... another glitch I guess--- here are the separate links:
Capt. Richard Jones, Il
Capt. Richard Jones, Il
Amy Jones
Amy Jones
Col. Richard Jones, Ill
Col. Richard Jones, Ill with Col. Richard Jones, Ill being the one who brings in differences including a son Gabriel not on the other profile: Gabriel Jones, Sr.

profile added in 2009 so would be nice to get them correct.
Many of these are MP'd and I stacked but this Richard father of Gabriel is in need of correcting so a curator needed.
