The merge was undone, but I don't know where you want the help. Is it Rachel Anderson

Private User - sources only have 8 children of Joseph Chandler, I & Sarah Chandler

So I've spun off the rest of the attached children, as well as detached the extra wives (again). Relationships locked.

Private User - For Joseph Chandler, I the merge quoted is fine.

An import in April 2024 created several of the duplicates. I am messaging the active manager today about them.

Of the children, John Chandler is suspect. His birth date (1775) is after the death of the father (1764). (Manager is inactive (2022) and the profile was added via import.)
John Chandler, Sr. appears to be a duplicate of John Chandler, Sr. Dates are slightly off.
Jamima Chandler may be a duplicate of Jamima Chandler
Lucy Chandler & Lucy Chandler may not be the child of Joseph & Sarah Bilbo.
Joel Chandler (DAR) does not look much better than his father.

Chandler Family newsletter, June 2005: PDF page 1-2

For Joseph Chandler, I son of Robert Chandler, II

Thank you, Erica Howton
Parents for both are probably wrong and they smashed merged based on a name. I added "Boomer" back to John "Boomer" Huddleston 's name field as it is how researchers have kept him distinguished from other John Huddleston.
I got here due to tree building for Huddleston and a DNA match's tree for Stowers who married in.
I ran into TWO daughters named Mary attached to Daniel Huddleston and Rachel Huddleston
Mary AND Mary Elizabeth Jenkins
Since I have a Jenkins paternal line, I am wondering if this may be another spot where my parents have an unidentified shared ancestor making me have DNA matches that show as BOTH sides so clean up in this area is very possible and probably already done elsewhere but are a mess here.
Any help appreciated.
I see the two Rachels as probably needing fleshed out as well
Rachel Hensley
Rachael Huddleston

and then there is Mary Rachel Huddleston lol Rachel Anderson

Emily Kent Marget when https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=86512428540 was unmerged it either didn't go right, or more profiles need to be unmerged. Look at Margaret Moore in tree view. She has two husbands with the same name and children with conflicting parents.

Also, your last comment to me on page 302, were you referring to my post right above? If so, neither was unmerged.

https://www.geni.com/discussions/185827?msg=1732763 (Longfield Cox) might have been missed.

Please consider MPing these two profiles. It seems like they would be fairly easy to confuse, since they're southern trees and data is sketchy or missing.

Here they are in a side-by-side, to give you a better view. https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000122441683251?return=match...

Private User - If you look at the merge reversal, https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=86512428540, you will notice that several profiles are shaded green. Margaret Moore is one of them.
On Margaret, there is a merge that you did - https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=85987874270.
Dan Cornett - Since you are a manager of both sides of the Margaret Moore merge, perhaps you can help on this one.

Regarding my comment on the bottom of page 302 (https://www.geni.com/discussions/185827?msg=1732960), I was talking about the reversal of the merge of William Moore.

Emily Kent Marget thank you, we'll wait and see what Dan says.

This merge was done https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79177087860, which certainly looks like a good merge, but this one on his wife https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79177091110 has different dates, and now they have a child born before them, and 3 more born when they were still children/teens.

I can't seem to find anything, but I think it might be a situation where it's just people copying incorrect trees.

Can someone check this merge ?

https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=84337773090 doesn't match

we have an extra son Churchill "C P" Bondurant born 1821

Can;t be any of the parents son's he's attached to - dates not even close.

Did the merge bring in Churchill? he doesn't belong to John Peter Bondurant, Sr. or Sarah Rachael Moseley Bondurant

Suzan Martin - the merge is OK, it was a dup for Darby Bondurant -- but his parentage is questioned in the curator note and source unsupported in the "about" note. You are addressing this is discussion https://www.geni.com/discussions/286049?msg=1733554

I am detaching Churchill "C P" Bondurant who was added by hand in June 2024 as son of John Peter Bondurant and Sarah Taylor. He must be in the wrong generation.

Her name makes no sense
Curated profile
Someone merged “half sister”
Please see Sarah Johnson

Detached Sarah Johnson from parents.

Private User - Regarding Katherine Gibbons I agree that several children make zero sense: George Gibbons; Esther Gibbons; Eliza Gibbons; Andrew J Gibbons; and Hannah Gibbons These were all added via import by the same user who dumped and ran.
I have no clue as to where they belong. Not Dr John Hannum Gibbons since he died 8 months after the birth of his only child.

Why would a Colonial era profile be marked private?

John Nash

Charles

If this profiles name is correct - he should be curated just because it is an awesome name

Captain Marvel Nash, Sr.

Laurens Jansen Von Kortryck Kortright/Courtright "Low", "Low" has conflicting parents and his father couldn't have had those two wives, since they both died in 1677.

I noticed on this merge that the mother on the left was Unknown wife of, but now she is Yolanda. https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=86525844800

Private User

Marvel is a family name on the mother's side, and this extended family had many military men. Captain was a common rank. DAR does not list him as a Captain.

This merge is a mess
https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79479037470
Robert Parrott is being merged with Jr, but has Senior's birth and death information, Susanna Vines does not exit in Middlesex county.

The other merges around this seen correct

Charles

James Parrott

should not be attached as Robert Jr's son, he was born 90 after Robert died.

Charles

Charles Randall Hensley - John Nash was made public by another curator.
I have started the reversal process on https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79479037470.
Do you have any sources to help us get the Parrott family straight?

https://www.geni.com/discussions/185827?msg=1732763 was missed from the previous page.

Heinrich 'Henry' Neff, Sr.

Disputed origins.

Re: Longfield Cox

This profile on Geni does not seem mixed up with the Connecticut man.  His family shows NJ > NC.  So I I don’t think there’s anything to undo.  

It would be useful to track down the Connecticut Longfield Cox so we don’t mix him up like FindAGrave did.
