I inherited this profile and it popped up in my conflicts.

Thomas Johnson

Family Search lists his parents as Stephen Johnson and Rachel Fox. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GMDT-T3V

With wives Thomosina Cost and Barthenia Lindsey.

Geni has him with Bethania H. Cost / Ozley / Johnston (who has two sets of paretnts and a note that she may have been married to a "Cost." and another woman Nancy Johnson

Then there is the problem with father on Geni Drury Johnson who has two sets of parents and is not who Family Search notes as the father of Thomas.

I am not sure that either platform is correct, but it looks like a number of gedcoms have been loaded on Thomas and a lot of bad connections. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family. It is going to take a lot to sort. May be three differeint Thomas Johnsons if parents are any indication.

Gedcoms....

https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=82059086000 this merged brought in extra wife.
Thomas Jr son of Drury :/

The profile on the right is me and an abandoned profile I adopted. Does not appear the merge brought in anything

https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=80323860570 calls him m2x but only has one wife and her duplicate but like 27 children and some similar so I would think is the Gedcom and clean up should have happened....

Here's where you came in https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=80323860180

and here is where the Geni Team merged a Thomas into Thomas Jr:

Thomas Johnson, Jr. was imported to the tree by Kathryn Marie Champenois.

Gedcom.

Kathryn Marie Champenois are you able to help?
I am unable to read the Gedcom notations.

I don't think she is active.

:/

I found his FAG memorial

I think that Thomas Johnson from SC and Nancy Austin are one couple.

I think that Thomas Johnson from Alabama is another one that has been confused. I am trying to figure out the spouse/s

It's a hot mess and goes on up the tree that way, I think there are multiple parents of parents.

Susanne Floyd I worked on them a lot today but I don't know if you can tell.
I typically work on family groups and if I cannot find enough about one profile, I will go to the children, siblings...
Please look?
I disconnected additional children-- typically I will do this if they are a same named and I can find their correct family. Also, I know many Geni users do not have the ability to disconnect so I disconnect IF I am fairly CERTAIN they are in the wrong family.

At any rate, happy holidays.
I'll revisit.

The links look different for me but there are a ton of folks that think Drury is the son of Henry Johnston and Patsy Beasley

Henry needs added to the https://www.geni.com/projects/They-Bequeathed-the-Enslaved/4477832 project

There are at least three generations of Drury Johnson.
Could be "fun" to get them in order.
I am logging out for the day... let me know your progress?/what I can help with?

Cynthia, did we connect through GED match?

Alfred Johnson I don’t know?
My kits are on my profile here.
I don’t see any on yours.
By “Gedcoms”, I am referring to how messy the profiles and family groups get here when folks use the Gedcom upload option to build a tree on Geni

Cynthia, sorry, my kit is 47413, what I am finding, more DNA relatives on the Maternal lines.
I am not sure about the Johnson Family paternal line, I have found information that has me confused, lol.
Thank you so much, AJ

Alfred Johnson that would be your FtDNA kit, yes?
Not Gedmatch.
Or as you said, GED match

I had forgotten this post. Need to relook it, but waist-deep in teaching this past week and next. Will be back later.

I must apologize, I searched Thomas Johnson, I was wrong, after reading a pedigree that I had gotten from a Harold Eugene Johnson a few years before he passed, I found that I should be searching for the William, Daniel and Drury Johnson family line. Harold and I are from this family line. My search hasn't been fruitful I must say.
The Johnson family I should be searching started in Gooch Land, Virginia early 16th century.
my # kit is 47413 on family tree DNA, big " Y " , I have matched a Young Beauregard Johnson of Crawford County, Georgia born 1828, a Bobby Don Johnson of Louisiana, now at a brick-wall.
I am sorry for the confusion that I have caused everyone, thank you for your help, AJ
