John Stout - His tree has Sons married to Mothers and I don't know how to fix it.

William Owen "Bill" Irwin - On a Break studying for a new Job. My line is Sarah Pike i am familar with this 1st cousin line is that one connected to your mege that needs fixing?

Fixed.

Bill you need to look for the Master Profile that matches

Penelope Stout and merge in this tree.

"the mother of Middleton" Is in zillions if not gagiillions of trees, including mine.

Use Geni search, google, name variations, etc.

Erica Howton i wasn't sure if the stouts he asked about were part of that line... if they were and I messed somthing up on that well documented line ugh...

Following the line up we have Thomas Angell "the Immigrant", Son of James Angell; Mary Angell (Honeychurch) and Sarah Angel
Husband of Alice Angell (Ashton) and Sarah

I think i opened a bad can of worms,

Here is where i'm Stuck http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000030231485969

oh ok.. I'll look at that i see.. your not sure about that being part of Penelope Stout or if it should be merged in.. I'll take a look at it with Erica Howton's help in a bit

I'm going to stop on the line now. let me know how I can help

erica Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns and I chatted she suggested leting Private User do it - Ben will research it and put it right - right now I would not merge them -
not enough dates on the one couple and info
and the one he wants to merge into will have to be approved by the curator I think.

I'm familar with the pike's side not so much the dirrect stout line and a lot of those are mp'd so.... and I am not fully knowledgeable on that line to make a judgement call without researching which Is why I think ben who knows that line in side and out would be a better match to help here

It's my ancestry too. It's a match. What you can do is post the compare" screen of two profiles in this thread for the double check.

I was asked to look as these

Seems like there is a confusion between the 2 Richards

I need to save cash for a new ipad i cant tag any body.. Grr anyway erica i came to the same Opinon that those 2 dont mix as did judith when i asked her

Can anyone find the Master Profile for Penelope Stout (van Princis), The Mother of Middletown & post that Geni profile please? It was dead correct the last time I visited, and had good notes to follow.

Michael - there is only one "Princess" Penelope.

Bill - the way to "fix" errors in the tree is merge to the MP and conform to the MP values.

Judi - it is then much easier to disconnect the bad relationships / move misplaced children.

Would someone care to hit the "yes, merge" button for this, and then the matching parents?

Penelope Stout here is the mp one
Erica.

Oops ignore the above one. Merge is done

Went ahead and it the Yes merge since you said to do it Erica

For all

I've uploaded (yet another document) to the profiles, it is here

http://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000037610936963

It's a "quality compilation" page citing a long list of studies, a much better source than FindAGrave.

So if there's confusion about Master Profiles, check the "sources" tab for docs & the overview tab for external links.

We've spent years assembling these. What's already in Geni MP's should be decent guides.

Anyone care to complete this merge?

Erica Howton
Merge done

But it brings up many conflicts

e.g. Lucy Lawrence
http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000003160408486

Sorry I should say one

Angus (or anyone)

I vetted this doc / compilation

Press "visit URL"

Then go up the site links. Should give you the answer to the correct parents.
