Erica Howton please take a look at these two profiles. The one on the left is a MP that's marked for deletion and as fictional.

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000184747767020?return=match...

So when you see those, just reject the match. Sometimes we miss sending off for deleting, or sometimes we keep the isolated trees, for various reasons.

I totally want to keep this fictional tree, as the false pedigree keeps reappearing.

Erica Howton thank you

Please be aware that several children were added to unknown father of William Reade today.

The relationship lock had "fallen off" William Read, of Weymouth & New London I detached him as son of unknown father of William Reade & unknown mother of William Reade - those profiles were created as placeholders before we had relationship locking.

Thank you for the alert.



Emily Ross - you're created duplicates to existing master profiles, and attaching them to possibly the wrong Reade families. Please slow down and take a look at what we already have. Thanks.

This merge is stalled due to the fact that Abner Senter Moore is an MP with locked fields. Definitely need looking at. Suspiciously, the data is different... Thanks for the help!

Private User - Abner has been locked since 2016.
Unfortunately, Find a Grave and Family Search do not have primary sources (death certificate, gravestone, newspaper obit) for his death. Finding the 1880 US Census would be helpful as to where he was living prior to his death. Although, FS has his later (1878) marriage in Cocke County, Tennessee.

I went ahead and resolved the data conflict for the death place of Abner Senter Moore to Cocke County, TN. It's not likely it was North Carolina. If another source is found, the profile can always be revised.

Thanks again to Erica Howton & Emily Kent Marget for your thoroughness & concern for things being correct.

You are so much appreciated!!! :-)

This is from an unfinished merge I came across.

Private User - resolved merges. Some profiles were off a generation.

New Duplicate tree for DUP - DO NOT MERGE John 111 Bacon consider for isolation?

Private User - I crossposted your issue to the Medieval discussion.

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000011674888289?return=match...

The one on the left is a MP that says not to confuse with the one on the right, but are they supposed to be sisters, as they are now?

Private User - From what I can see, the creator of Elizabeth Terrill Lord has re-done all of Erica Howton's removal work from June 2023.

But they left her married to Mr. Lord.

She is also missing information regarding her marriage, children and other family.

Elizabeth Terrill Lord


Disputed Origin and Marriage

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Buckingham-355

This profile, at its creation, showed Elizabeth -- without a source -- as a wife of John Taylor Lord, Jr. At some point, Elizabeth was linked -- again without a source -- as a daughter of Samuel Buckingham and Silence (Clark) Buckingham of Connecticut. The connection made little geographical sense, as the Buckingham couple are associated strictly with Connecticut while the profile of John Taylor Lord, Jr., shows him born in Delaware and dying in Maryland. Lacking a source, it is an open question whether he even had a wife named Elizabeth; he is also shown with one named Patience Calloway.

In fact, Elizabeth Buckingham, daughter of Samuel and Silence, was the wife of John Merwin, and the couple lived out their lives in Milford, Connecticut. The following material from Families of Early Milford, Connecticut was previously placed in the Biography of this profile in an effort to clarify Elizabeth's identity as the wife of John Merwin:

"John Merwin, s of John was baptized 22 May 1737 (MC1) and died 1826 at ae 90 (BP). He married Elizabeth Buckingham who was born 11 Apr 1738 and died October 1838 at ae 96 (BP) dau of Samuel and Silence (Clark). He served in the Revolutionary War."

Also noted were the children of John and Elizabeth Merwin: Content, John, Samuel, Sarah, Ann, Nathan, Elizabeth, Daniel and Amos.[1]

A roughly-estimated birthdate of 1750 has been placed in the data field, based on John Taylor Lord, Jr.'s, birthdate of 1746, as a placeholder until further research addresses the question of Elizabeth's existence and identity.



Currently showing as wife of Henry Washington Lord based on this merge:

Erica Howton - Thanks for clearing up the mess of Elizabeth Terrill Lord

Captain George Wray

there must be a whole generation missing between him and George Wray III.

Jacomina Pieternella de Regt - Captain George Wray does not have all of his children that were named in his will. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wray-1195.

Jacomina Pieternella de Regt

I think I got this a bit straightened out.

Despite the date difference, it looks like they are supposed to be the same, based on the ancestor report.

Private User - merging done for both.

JC - most recent merge requests done.

[Samuel Lancaster Samuel Lancaster];
[Samuel Lancaster Samuel Lancaster];
[Henry Lancaster Henry Lancaster];
[Henry Lancaster Henry Lancaster];
[Hannah Lancaster, (died young) Hannah Lancaster, (died young)];
[Hannah Lancaster, (died young) Hannah Lancaster].

came upon these when correct mother was assigned - think they were brought in as a merge

Suzan Martin - The second profile of each pair was part of an import. That manager has been replaced. The replacement manager is also inactive.
I'm working on getting sources for them.
