I just performed an incorrect merge on the following id's Sarah Mauk MK7D-7VD & Sarah Hunt G8R1-PX7. They are the same person but I saved the wrong one and the system won't let me restore MK7D-7VD. Her last name (Maiden name is Sarah Mauk) Hunt is her married surname.

I don't know how to fix this.

    The system is not functioning correctly right now when we attempt to find a deleted record using the Find by ID feature. This is an issue that the engineers are working on.

    Here is a work-a-round: Go to your Family Tree and select the Recents tab. At the top of the recent people list you will see a search box that says : Enter Name or ID. Paste the ID# MK7D-7VD in that search box and click Go. You will be taken to the Deleted Record where you can click the blue Restore Person link. (found on the right-hand side of the screen.

    We hope this helps.

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

    Just in passing ...

    So, that we may be better able to help/assist you ...

    Question: WHY, will the "System", NOT, let you "Restore" ... Sarah MAUK ( MK7D-7VD ) ...

    As, although, I did not go all the way, the process, appears to be possible ...

    Further Question: Is there an "Error Message", once one selects "Restore"?

    Please advise/clarify ...

    'Thank You' in advance.

    Are you saying the "Restore Person" on MK7D-7VD didn't work? Sometimes it doesn't if there have been other changes made. In that case, you can edit the surviving profile to contain the information.
