Hi Welcome to Family Search community and thanks for posting your question here. There have been numerous merges done on this record. The oldest record we think is K648-DRY. You could look at that record and consider restoring it. It has a different set of ordinances than what you are showing on your Roots Magic record. For future reference, you can go to the latest changes and either filter by merges or go clear to the bottom and work up to find the first merge. In some cases, you may need to look at more that the first merge. Let us know if you have further questions or comments.

Here is a link to instructions on how to use the latest changes that may be of some help.

I looked for merges and did not see any.

Hi if you look for merges on record GSQ4-5DS, you should see two merges. Both done in June of 2019. But I was looking at merges done on record 9NTF-2X2 and there are 7 merges done on that record. The oldest being with record K648-DRY. Sometimes it is difficult to undo the tangle web of merges especially if they are not correct merges. That is why I try to find the oldest record as a starting point. Record K648-DRY was brought into family search in 2012 and was probably previously in new family search. But it is a good place to start. And it is further complicated when people create new records which is the case here.

Let us know if you have further comments or questions.
