Please do NOT merge unsourced duplicates into the MEDIEVAL tree

Two duplicates for Ulf Holmgersson Lejonbalk

Ulf Holmgersson Lejonbalk
Ulf Holmgersson Lejonbalk

I believe it is three different trees, and one of them goes all the way back to Charlemagne. I have stacked up on the merge-request for most of profiles, but not in the tree that goes back to Charlemagne.

Suggestion: Creating a new profile which is more than 10 generations ago or 200 years ago must be allowed or forbidden by an experienced geni user. This would inhibit the bad habit of creating profiles from history books witout any research in geni. And directly forbidding creating more than 4 consequetive new profile generatioms in one day. This would both result in a strong reduction in new bad duplicatw profiles littering geni.

Maybe a combination of your suggestions, limiting to no more than 4 generations a day where the youngest generation is more than 400 years old?
It shouldn't be too restrictive to new users, which i believe would be a big concern for Geni

i noticed a lot of our relatives that had an account and then they have died, there account is still active,
my great grandmothers account was still active and i physically have proven met her and several other people,

my mother had several other relatives that she tried to contact but they seem to be to old
that or they die off and some say that the thought our line was gone.

its nice that before they go though they send some sort of info or document, like book pages with our names attached, etc

I have found a lot of duplicates that have just been added, they cover at least a dozen generations. Hrolf Thurstan Bigod William de Warenne of Surrey This should give you some idea of what I`m talking about.

Hello @Alex Moes, I agree upon your suggestion. Such matters should be discussed in plenum so that a good solution is found.

@Marena Jewel - the account will be closed by Geni when a relative reports to Geni that the person has died. Use the pulldown in the upper right hand corner, choose "report profile" and choose "Deceased" as a reason for reporting.
Fill out the report with either how you're related or a pointer to documentation that the person is dead, so that Geni can be sure it's a true report.

Good luck!

Could someone of you curators please inform the creator of this profile below that this newly created profile was truly absolute unnecessary?

i like this website, because i can talk to relatives that have been in the dark for many years, and some have been looking for my mothers family for several hundred years.

a lot of my cousins have been saying that they don't know much about each other and some even married there own blood, i have met some in school that were going to marry each other and they found out they were first cousins, several people had this problem.
i never want this problem, that is why i keep going,

if someone has a duplicate information, of course its best to look into it, thoroughly.

John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, 1st Earl of Warwick You might want to check on the new additions by this manager, she is new & has many tree matches.

I'll invite her to the project.

Dear Marena,

First cousins marrying is quite common in England. In former Yugoslavia, where I live now, I think there is a legal ban on even third cousins marrying. There used to be a ban on even seventh cousins marrying in medieval Europe (although this could be explained as a money-making scam by the Church; only the very rich could be proved to be seventh cousins and they didn't have any trouble buying a dispensation).

I don't see evidence of many serious new genetic problems in the children of first-cousin parents. Where you get genetic problems is when there are repeated marriages between close relations. But the reality of medieval villages was that people were almost bound to marry relations; they couldn't travel very far.

Taboos are odd. There seems now to be almost a horror of step-brothers and step-sisters marrying each other, even though they don't share any parental genes. If you look at medieval or seventeenth-century England, such marriages were common and almost always arranged by the parents.

I think this might have been misposted- this thread is for unsourced duplicates created in the medieval tree.

Fixed the duplicate Roberts.

Baldwin II "the Bald", count of Flanders

Liudolf I "the Great", Duke of Saxony

Adelaide de Savoie, de Maurienne

Ansfrid I "le Danois" dit "le Goz" Hrolfsson, vicomte d'Exmes Gerlotte de Blois Theobald Richilde De Bourges Hugues II, count of Bourges Rothilde de Bourges I`m sure she has made more than these.

I've invited her to join the project - she's new and doesn't know not to duplicate. That being said, can you post the MPs of the profiles you think she's duplicated, because hers aren't being identified by the programme as duplicates.

Pam Wilson (on hiatus)
Udo IV, Graf in der Wetterau did have a son named Konrad (c850-906) but not this Konrad von Öhningen, Duke of Swabia who is a duplicate of this Konrad von Öhningen, Duke of Swabia, who's parent's are very much N.N. .

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANCONIA.htm#Udo860879 and http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANCONIA.htm#Konraddied997A

PS: I am a bit surprised that the dupe isn't triggering a Tree Match given that the MP has Conrad and Konrad spellings and the death dates are an exact match.

Sorry was just trying to clean that one up. It had Rheingau as the first name, Konrad as the middle name AND last name and Graf Rheingau Konrad as the display name. Wife's name was "Duchess Swabia Judith".... and he was already linked as the son of Odo de "Watterau". I was working on the Vermandois tree.

Sharon;

There appear to be at least two duplicate profiles of Ansigisel of Metz, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia in addition to the MP profile of which you are the curator.

This is the MP profile:
Ansegisel de Metz

This is one duplicate:
Ansegisel de Metz

And this is the other duplicate:
Ansegisel de Metz

Both dups are in the WFT. I found another profile, as well, but it was in an isolated tree not connected to the WFT. I assume you don't care about that one.

Bernard Albanese

I wish there was a way to stop new people from making duplicates so far back. Alrek Agnasson, king of Sweden

Thanks Bernard. I've removed them and invited their mangers to come and help us on the project.

Sharon;

Wow that was quick. Thanks.

Bernard

BTW we are 25th cousins, once removed.

Here are 2 profiles for Somerled MacGillabride-
