Would someone please be kind enough to assist in the resolution of a data conflict that I have been fighting with for following profile:

John Short

I attempted to resolve the conflict by selecting the data in the first column and saving it. It comes up and tells me that the profile has been updated. I think everything is ok and 5 minutes later it pops back up on my data conflict feed that it needs to be done again. There is nothing new in the new conflict...all data is exactly the same as the first time I updated it. I've tried about 10 different times with no success.

TIA
Deb

Deborah Ann Tower profile is locked; however, I resolved the conflicts.

Thanks Jim!

The profile on the left is a MP that only has a father. The father has two wives with the same name, but they're not the same, and I don't know which one is right. The wife in this potential merge has no data, so it's no help in determining the correct wife.

Ref your post 4/14/24 on Cherokees. You state you don't know of any Cherokee in Iowa. Wonder how the town in the upper left corner of that state became known as Cherokee? Curious, as my brother resides there.

Everett, curiosity got me also. I found this in the city’s website. They state that the men who named the place used names that had no connection with the area or its history. Pretty interesting reading here:

Thanks, Cynthia & Everett. Interesting topic.

Google AI Overview tells me:

There are many towns named Cherokee in the United States, including cities, unincorporated communities, and former communities.

Cherokee, North Carolina: A census-designated place that's home to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Popular attractions include the Oconaluftee Indian Village and Harrah's Cherokee Casino.
Cherokee, Iowa: A city founded in 1857 on the west side of the Little Sioux River.
Cherokee, Tennessee: An unincorporated community in Grainger County, Tennessee, located near TVA's Cherokee Dam.
Cherokee, Oklahoma: A city in Oklahoma.
Cherokee, California: An unincorporated community and census-designated place in California.
Cherokee, Alabama: A town in Alabama.
Cherokee, Kansas: A city in Kansas.
Cherokee, Ohio: An unincorporated community in Ohio.
Cherokee, Texas: An unincorporated community in Texas.
Cherokee, West Virginia: An unincorporated community in West Virginia.
Cherokee, Wisconsin: An unincorporated community in Wisconsin.



So I'm wondering what the detail is for:

Before & After the Pioneers… Cherokee County was one of the 49 divided from Indian Treaty lands by the Third Iowa Assembly in 1851. The lawmen picked names that had no connection with the area or with its history.

Erica HowtonThanx for the history lesson - ya can't believe all ya read!

The issue seems to be because Sarah Cecile Stelly is married to father and son, and has children with both. I don't know if there is a bad merge somewhere, or what the problem is.

Same dates, fathers with the same name, but not the same, mothers aren't the same, and the one on the right has 17 siblings, which looks a bit off when you look at them in the parents timeline.

Juan Antonio Montaño (De) Sotomayor

Looks like a new user is building a duplicate tree. Around 10 or more duplicates so far.

This new wife and child don't work with the existing wife and child.

I started with a merge on Margaret Berry The merge was good, but she now has conflicting mothers, with mother Margaret just being added today, so I think maybe the manger is following an incorrect tree.

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000008506840343

They match, but fathers conflict.

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000003165657436?return=match...

It's the Calvert line again. The one on the left already has two mothers.

Can we get a merge on this please (maybe I posted in the wrong discussion earlier).

When I go into it and finalize correct responses and click on submit I get and error message. Has been this way for 3 days now. Don't know if there is an issue with the profile or if it is a program glitch. I tried to figure it out and I don't see anything wrong with the profile.

TIA,
Deb

Deborah Ann Tower did you mean to post a Find a Grave link or a Geni link? If Find a Grave, see below.

I would email the Find a Grave profile manager, explain the problem you are having (it may be a glitch) and give them the details you want added to the memorial. Be sure to give them the memorial name and memorial number.

The Find a Grave manager can be reached by scrolling down to the bottom of the profile and clicking on the name of the "creator," which in this case is FitzgeraldFamilyResearcher. It may take some time, but usually, the managers get back in touch. You can also try again later and of course get in touch with Find a Grave to report a problem at their helpsite (button located at the bottom). Also, make sure you are logged in and have an account as a Find a Grave editor.

If a Geni profile issue, you can put a ticket in on the profile through the Geni Help at the bottom of the page. They will look into the profile problem.

Hi Deb!

Everything checked out everywhere I know to look & things seem to be 'chugging' right along.

Perhaps this is a personal omen... I'd better quit while I am ahead, right?? LOL!!!

Nancy E Coffey Fitzgerald

[If this type of problem continues, create a ticket & someone much smarter than myself will be glad to help you to get to the source of the problem.]

Everyone--

I am so sorry! I really screwed up on my post the other day. I got the wrong link and wrong person. Sorry, but am reposting again for issue on following profile:

Mary Hall

Hoping somebody can help fix the issue.

I have a data conflict on the profile. When I go into it and finalize correct responses and click on submit I get an error message. Has been this way for 4 or 5 days now. Don't know if there is an issue with the profile or if it is a program glitch. I tried to figure it out and I don't see anything wrong with the profile.

TIA,
Deb

Deborah Ann Tower - data conflicts resolved. Please check the values selected and edit directly on the profile if any errors in the choices.

Private User

I don't see an unresolved merge request for Thomas House, Sr.

Erica Howton Someone removed it, then.

I was going to try to find out who removed it, but never got around to it.

Would it be possible to unlock the display name or is that under the control of the profile manager?

Deborah Ann Tower - Which profile has the name issue?
If there are field locks, any curator can unlock, fix and then re-lock.
