I found information that the wife of Rabbi Yona Kalman Babad Ha'Ashkenazi ("Issur v'Heter") was the daughter of Maharam from lublin
I opened two profiles for her, first as the wife of Rabbi Yona Kalman:
בת המהר"ם מלובלין Babad

I added the information I found in her profile picture
the second profile:
בת המהר"ם מלובלין Babad
When I wanted to merge the profiles, the algorithm showed a gap of years,
I want my family tree to be accurate, what should I do in this case?

You have encountered an impossibility. If the Maraham from Lublin's years are 1558-1616 and Yona Kalman died in 1550 then how can the Maraham's daughter have married Yona Kalman? Perhaps it is another Yona Kalman she married. Absent any further proof I would simply put the information you found about the spouse of Yona in the 'About' section for him and not try to merge profiles.

1::Because of the gap in years, I did not merge the profiles, and opened the discussion

2:The information I found is solid, and it does refer to Rabbi Yona Kalman Babad Ha'Ashkenazi ("Issur v'Heter")

3:The thing that seems right to me is: There is a mistake in one of the branches or in Rabbi Yona Kalman Babad's branch missing 2-3 generations in the family tree..
I have seen people (including curators) who in this case open unnamed profiles because I want my family tree to be accurate,I'm debating what is the right thing to do
