It looks like the profile on the right has an incorrect name of “William John Allgood.” There’s a brother William Algood already, with different dates & spouse.

So I think the best solution is to keep the merge, no resolve data conflicts in favor of the existing MP (profile on the left in the merge compare screen).

Thanks Erica Howton for your input!

I was tempted to go with it, however, I really appreciate your 2nd opinion.

Pending merge requests for this shell of a profile created in 2018. Inactive manager, no available replacement.

There are some residual issues with Henry Sweet, of Warwick

He has two wives that he couldn't have had. They have the same birth dates, their death date is one day apart, and they married on the same day. He's a MP and both wives are listed in his bio.

Then there's this - https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000006440037507?return=match...

From Geni.com:

"An article which appeared in Vol. 52, pp. 18-20 of The American Genealogist, titled "Mary Andrew, wife of Henry Sweet" by Harriet Woodbury Hodge put to rest the myth that her last name was Griffen. It was believed she was because they named a child Griffen, however the author sites several deeds which clarify the relationship.

She was the daughter of John Andrew and his first wife who remains as an Unknown."

Think someone just didn't complete a merge, please review and complete if ok.

Thank you,

A name variation of the wife, but the same person, just Jane added to her name.

Griffin Sweet is locked to two sets of parents.

Private User - fixed. Apparently there’s no Henry Sweet Jr as I had once thought.

Sorry, Erica, I'm still leary of doing anything on the Brewster line.

I’m merging the Goodwins. The earlier tree has gaps and it’s only one manager, which is awfully thin for a Colonial family.

Duplicate family members need merged or disconnected---profiles add nothing from what I can see: Dr. Pierre Chastain, Sr.

Merge request on Col. John Martin, Sr. - My reservations are Parentage & Death dates on intended profile to be merged. Thanks!

Private User It could been me who requested the merge. I looked at the revision and saw only the merge was completed.
I'm working on Martin, Taylor,White and Lacey lines. Very messy! I'm adding sources and fixing dates and detaching parents or adding. This source might help some of the adjacent lines to the profile you mentioned. Use the search bar as I a copied the link to the John I was reading about. Martin Families of America are where you could go for some source information.

This is part of an unfinished merge I started to do and the other tree is a GEDCOM that is a bit of a mess. Some of the profiles are double stacked, even though the dates are wildly off, so proceed with caution. I just stack them like that, so I can get a better idea of if they're supposed to be the same.
