re: Merge Warnings

  • Both of these people have a relationship with a read-only person.

Hi

There are 4 duplicates of my father's record

Lowell Moon Taylor LJZL-8X5 (is the REAL record)

The 4 duplicate records (below) appear to be identical with each other. They each contain the same 6 memories, the same photo, etc - a very small subset of the real/original record.

LFPJ-9W6

LNH7-ZKX

LNKV-BX1

LJ3R-1KS

However, they cannot be deleted or merged - at least I cannot figure out how to - because they each have a relationship with a read-only record, my dad's dad's record Nephi Welling Taylor KWCF-NKV. We would like to see this fixed so that our grandparents don't show 5 sons with the name of Lowell..

There are also a couple of other duplicates for a couple of my dad's siblings (my uncles) that probably have the same issue. It would be good to clean those up at the same time...

Richard Duane Taylor KW8W-DZN is the original, LJX8-YVY is the duplicate

John Wayne Taylor KWH6-3PT is the original, GZ4W-6L5 is the duplicate

Feel free to contact me

Thanks!

Neil

    I will be sending you a personal message and will forward your concern about the duplicate records that you have not been able to merge due to the Read-Only status of Nephi Welling Taylor KWCF-NKV.

    Thank you for your patience while this is investigated.
