Incorrect sex of an individual

Bonnie G. Bailey

Jacob Funk L1CD-ND8 appears to have the wrong sex. Does anyone feel like there is enough information to request this be changed. It appears it was entered from a GEDCOM. There are no sources on her/him but 28 on her/his father that actually seem to belong to multiple people. Is it worth pursuing?

I took a look at the person you mentioned and history of the contributions.

Just a thought have you tried messaging the person who uploaded the GECOM file that is where the problem is.

The message will get to them through the system.

Hope this helps

I was hoping someone would look at Jacob's L1CD-ND8 person page and his father's and mother's and see if they can find anything to substantiate either sex for Jacob.

Thank you for looking at the record. That's a great idea. I'll try messaging the contributer. Thank you again.
