I've done a fair amount of merging and not encountered the objections I see others meeting so hopefully I'm not messing up :) . But I'm not sure how to handle merging profiles which, on the face of it, are very remote. These for instance.
Unknown Profile
Leaving aside whether they are the same (and GeoLarson2 certainly points that way -

), how can I pull them together? The reason I want to is that John Steinbeck
John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. (III)
is a descendant of this lady - I have him in my photo album from when I set him up, but he wandered off :(
Thanks. I've done that - no response at present. I was considering how, if I had management rights to both profiles (not the case here) one could pull them together without involving another manager. Mostly I've used the tree view merge, which implies they are close to each other, or the merge issues merge, where Geni's AI works out (sometimes correctly :) ) if the profiles are the same. But what if neither apply?
