The temple work for one person has been "moved" to another person

@FuehrerGene

FYI

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Just in passing ...

Short Answer: 'Yes', on BOTH counts.

I just took a quick 'look' ...

ChangeLog:

Name: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/9XRR-SZL/preferred-name ... ( x3)

Merges/Combines: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/9XRR-SZL/merges ... ( x2 )

Where, those "Merges"/"Combines", are quite significant; and, may even be for DIFFERENT People ...

Of course, rather than using, the "Third Party" Application, of "RootsMagic" ...

[ Which is, "Certified", to work, with "Family Tree", of "FamilySearch' ... ]

You would get a MUCH Better 'Picture', of the "Temple' Work situation, if you simply logged (directly) into, "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', itself.

As, both that "C" and "I" Work, is NOT as it appears, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'.

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/ordinances/9XRR-SZL

I would humbly suggest, that those "Merges"/"Combines", will need, to be fully investigated.

[ To ensure, that they are, in fact, for the CORRECT individuals/persons ... ].

That is certainly a job, that you will need, to undertake yourself.

You may need to undertake, that work, in/through "Family Tree", of "FamilySearch', rather than "RootsMagic".

Just my thoughts.

Good Luck.

I hope this helps/assists.

I am attaching the old number and temple work info. for information. I believe this person was merged with someone and need help find the first merged record so I can unmerge them. I have been on FS site and don't see the merge.

There needs to be some control on merging as apparently people merge people with different names.

We did some looking and found the following  which you may have seen, Levin Oliver, 9xrr-SZL, has two Alternate Names listed: John Sr. Lemons, and Drummer John, so the original record must have been for John Lemons.

Were you aware that Levin Oliver, 9XRR-SZL and John Lemons LLM1-ZT5 were merged May 3, 2019. You may wish to Restore John, and see if that will correct his record. There may be more that needs to be done. The following article may be useful.

Good luck.

thank you I will try it.

@FuehrerGene

FYI

You certainly have some work to do, checking on those  "Merges"/"Combines", to ensure they were correct.

And ...

Again ...

I would humbly suggest, that you actually "Do" that work, within (ie. through) "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch' itself, rather than through "RootsMagic".

Good Luck.

I do go into Family Search, I don't do any merges, unmerges etc thru Roots Magic

@FuehrerGene

Good to 'hear'.

I do not us any "Third Party" Application.

Although, I have 'seen' many of them.

I am not even aware, these days, if one can "Merge"/"Combine" (or, "Unmerge"/"Restore"), through a "Third Party" Application - but, such probably can be done.

It is certainly difficult enough to "Merge"/"Combine" (or, "Unmerge"/"Restore"), in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', let alone in/through "Third Party" Application.

I don't merge/combine thru any third party software
