Private User - I did the first merge and am working through the children.
I wanted to verify to Lynn VR their births, but there is NO record in Lynn VR (https://archive.org/details/vitalrecordsofly01unse/page/n757/mode/2up) of any Spencer children.

Emily Kent Marget

Anderson’s Great Migration project vetted the children of Ens. Gerard ‘Jared’ Spencer, (II) they’re not in Lynn VR.

The list of 12 children in profile is accurate, I just t checked it against the Ancestry pages

Here’s The Great Migration document (the children pages)

I’ve attached to profiles.

MH says the parents on the right are correct. I couldn't find anything else.

Changed my mind. It seems more likely to me that this Starling Thornton was from Henry Thornton & Mary Thornton

I’ve tagged William & Sarah as alternate parents in the “about.”

Erica Howton... is this the same family as Matthew Thornton?

William H Doughty YR8160890 - it looks like that Matthew Thornton’s earliest known ancestor is Robert Thornton which is a different family from Starling, who comes from Luke Thornton, of North Farnham Parish

another two

and

Everyone of these profiles are not easy ones, - would never merge -- without a Curator

Merging is unavailable at the moment on geni. Will revisit.

They match, but the one on the right is not in good shape, as evident by the timeline.

The new Gedcom (DUP - TOO MANY CHILDREN Elizabeth Heckadorn & DUP DO NOT MERGE Charles Henry Chitty, Sr) includes children of Charles’ brother, Joseph Nelson Chitty described here:

Once we can merge, children can be moved around. Can’t do it today however due to Geni’s bug fixes needed.

Still unable to open links, etc.
This appears to be the same but adds children. No sources but a MyHeritage Smart Match as a "confirmed Match"

Edmond Talbot
Edmond Talbot I added and merged while working on a DNA and DAR line down from John Grayson
and
Elizabeth (Grayson) (Davis) Gordon

Another frustrating glitch--- when you click on the merge/compare link, it says already merged but this is not true for the two that are showing.

I am giving up for the day.
Hopefully less buggy soon
Thank you

There are duplicate children of Meshack Turner, I to be merged.

William Hobbs curated profile--- I did some merging but dates are very different and multiple parents too different. No sources that I can see.
Merging from bottom with a DNA match for my maternal uncle so it's all a guess without sources
Still so glitchy/buggy so I am asking for help please.

William Hobbs - undid merge which resolved discrepancies.

This was presented in the Finklea tree and I think the newer one needs isolating. Not sure why it was allowed to import.

Frances "Frankey" Finklea

Frances Frankie Holland

We don't have any proof that I know of of Frankey Finklea's maiden name. The Thomas Finklea in both profiles is a duplicate too, but not showing up yet. This "new" profile is from 2022 and just showing up. Weird.

I messed up and merged them and can't undo it. I probably should go to bed now....

Susanne Floyd - undid merge but I cannot resolve the tree conflict (current geni bugs).

Locked relationships for Frances "Frankey" Finklea

Erica Howton

This is adjacent line to the Frances Frankey Finklea one you just fixed. It's connected to Benjamin Harrelson line,his wifes sister was Martha and then Willis is her husband and Frankey his mother I was separated and documenting the Harrelson enslaved and working the Petty/Sim/Harrelson and Boston lines connected "as is" to the peopleyou just fixed. Lots of issues with this profile at link below. Seems to be about three people for said Ruben Boston. I think your niche is separating people on Geni. Lucy Moss is where I'd come in for a Grandparent to this line, seems soild there. I'm just super frustrated with it and I just cannot seem to separate everything, even with having so much information for at least two of the Ruben's. Information overload and going brain dead. I need help separating them. Many thanks!

Pvt. Reuben Boston

Unmerged Pvt Reuben who married Sarah Hawkins.
