Hi cousin Erica! Barack H. Obama, 44th President of the USA is my 14th cousin once removed.

There might be more density to Stanley Ann Dunham's tree than Geni has, too (missing siblings, 2nd spouses, etcetera) which would lead to more possible connections. Really worth looking at each step of the "

Each step of the path between to make sure the family groups are complete, merged in & sourced. Findagrave seems to have a lot of the Kansas & Missouri family well mapped out.

Hope others join me in looking into this. I think it would please his family to know how well his mother has been honored by us.

You guys keep leaving out Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the USA

Tina,

The original French-Canadian name was Quay dit Dragon, brought over from France. That is why there are plenty of Quay in Canada.

There is likely more than 1 national origin for the name. It might just be a mere coincidence that your surname is the same as a French-Canadian surname.

If you need any assistance with your tree, let me know. I'd be happy to help out.

Right now, I am just fixing tree errors and adding connecting profiles, so the tree gets larger and I can merge multiple profiles for the same people.

thank you cousin Byron Jason Whitesides... feel free to email anytime.. :)

also - just a little aside - Prince Charles is my 14th cousin :-)

Nice. It seems the recent presidents are less removed for you.

I checked and Prince Charles is my 10th cousin.

The "removed" part just has to do with number of generations between us - the cousinship number is perhaps a better measure of how "close" the relationship really is - using that as a measure, I am the most closely related to Ulysses S Grant, and Rutherford Hays, with George Washington, and Madison next, followed by Jefferson and Jackson.

BTW, you are my 16th cousin twice removed, Byron! :-)

Erica - I am not sure how to tell if the family groups are complete, merged in & sourced. I am not PRO so I am not clear on how to get things merged without that.

Basic members can merge and can add profiles. What takes pro rights are disconnects and using search.

What we want to do is starting here

Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham

Progress up the tree, inspecting each profile, and endure that they have the right number of parents, spouses, siblings, and children for their genealogical sources.

As mentioned FindAGrave is a good resource for the Kansas family. So by comparing the Geni profile with F.A.G. Data should reveal any corrections needed and anything missing to be added. I know there's an additional spouse 2 gens up from Stanley needs to be added - and therefore his family.

Here's technical FAQ on merging.

How do I "unhook" a person who is showing as married to the wrong person? Hitting the remove button doesnt work

Ah, maybe not having pro rights is causing the problem. But I thought I fixed mistaken merges before.

If in tree view, select edit relationships

If in profile, go to the relationships tab, scroll down to the bottom of the page, remove an incorrect relationship.

You may need PRO rights, I'm not sure what the parameters are on this. I've been Pro practically since Geni started and don't regret a penny.

Merging is different because the yellow conflict triangle helps select the correct relationship. Anyone can merge & merge correctly, but it takes doing it to do it. :):)

how do I unhook someone who was merged incorrectly?

Post requests with profile links (MUST) in this discussion for assistance

http://www.geni.com/discussions/80793

Explain exactly what needs to be done as clearly as possible.

Hi Erica - thanks - this is a person in my tree showing as married to Anna REINERT (correct) and Anna Niehoff (incorrect)

I am trying to get Anna Neihoff "unhooked" from that marriage but I cant get geni to to do it.

William "Bill" M. Schroeder

Fixed

thanks!

Anytime

Yup, needed a PRO. Thanks Byron.

;-)

Byron Jason Whitesides is your 13th cousin and your (my) 6th great uncle's second cousin 7 times removed. <3

Maybe there will be some more connections after there are more people added into the tree.

Sometimes, I am related to people in several different ways. It's very unique to learn these things.

Anne, Tyler´s link, "should be" to the top left, of this discussion thread under "Profiles mentioned". ;-) <3

Joan of Acre, Countess of Gloucester & Hertford is your 22nd great grandmother. she was my 1st cousin... like bunches removed, last year.
I remember, because I sent it to my "modern" 1st cousin Joan D´Arcy... thought it was funny... that I should be first cousins with two such far apart Joan of Arc(s)!
now, Geni- says: Joan of Acre, Countess of Gloucester & Hertford is your 22nd great grandmother.
