I mentioned this case before and now it's mixing up again my tree:

Ann Marie Elisabet

21 March 1739 – Deceased

 • MYWW-Z6B

Johann Gerhard

9 May 1741 – Deceased

 • MNG8-J7T

Anna Catharina Elisabeth

9 December 1744 – Deceased

 • MYWW-DTX

Please delete these persons, because they are not born in England, but in Germany. See sources.

Kind regards,

Sister Celine Rol, Netherlands (former missionary at B1)

    Looking at the records at the ancestors listed above, two show duplicates. The duplicates was born in Germany. Instead of deleting them, merge them with all the correct information. You would be able to write in your explanation for merging, their incorrectly indexed place of birth. Anna has a source attached that shows her birth also in Germany.

    You said that you have mentioned this problem before. What happened? Did you report this as an indexing error?
