I discovered her or him as the manager of a profile stacked to be merged and was amused to find his/her profile a locked master profile. The explanation is even more amusing.

Geni's Anti Zombie script have a feature which automatically knock out claimed historical profiles by converting the claimed profile to an ordinary profile, and disconnect the original manage totally, make him/her genderless and without a name. The registered email address get an email of what happened, and are still the manager with a chance to become a real user of Geni. Obviously abandoned accounts will be deleted.

This specific profile is marked as a Master Profile simply because it is no option lo lock a profile without marking it as a Master Profile.

The original manager profile was Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova

Geni are currently in the phase of hunting down all false managers as part of the idea of making one world tree with real users, one profile per person.

The curators does not have the limitation anymore to the "big tree" only, which means that unconnected duplicate trees will be connected, accidentally or on purpose, which is an explanation why the total number is going up, soon to break the 50 million barrier, even if GEDCOM imports currently are disabled.

On the other hand there is a great merge/duplicate removal action going on at the moment, which includes testing some new merge tools.

The ONE DAY RECORD is currently 87,910 completed merges (November 11th) which according to Noah for some months ago was about twice that per month.

The Great Unknown is now one of the 100 most popular profiles.

This reminds me of the scene in The Mikado in which Nanki-Poo, who is to be beheaded in a month, becomes engaged to Yum-Yum and Pooh-Bah sings

As in a month you've got to die,
If Ko-Ko tells us true,
'Twere empty compliment to cry,
"Long life to Nanki-Poo!"
But as one month you have to live as fellow citizen,
This toast with three times three we'll give:
"Long life,
Long life to you —
Long life to you —
Long life to you — till then!"
