Joseph Henderson 1802-1853 County armagh
This Gentleman (Gt Gt Grandfather) has that many entries on LDS , How is it Possible to merge all together so that the correct one is displayed (MM3V-BQX) is the correct one that has the absolute correct data (M9VM-Z75, M9HJ-LBC, M96Y-TX4, QLG7-S29, SRSG-NZZ) all the others have less than a 20% Correctness and most have links to stupid data (impossible Dates).

Hi Alan,
There is no problem with merging any number of records, but they need to be done one by one. When you consider merging two records, you examine the data on each one and try to determine if they are the same person. If obviously not, the erroneous one can be classified as 'not a match' after you have added the reason, and another record examined. When you find possible matches, you can add any additional information that you feel is correct from that record to the one you have chosen to keep, then merge the record after adding you reasons. Here are a couple of Knowledge Articles which help to explain this in detail.
More can be found by going to the Help Centre and typing Merging Records in the search box
Hope this helps, but if you need further guidance, please feel free to ask.
Kind regards,
Barry

It's 'Brett'.
I responded, in you first post, in this Forum, the other day ...
Just in passing ...
This particular post, is somewhat confusing ...
I took a 'look' at those 'FamilySearch Person Identifiers' (PIDs), that you provided.
[ In the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ... ]
Three (x3) are "Females"; One is "Male"; and, Two (x2) are "Unknown" ...
I also took a quick look, in the "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
Where I found Two (x2); and, they are both "Female".
These People, ALL appear to be DIFFFERENT, from one another - Certainly, NOT, the SAME Person(s) ...
And, especially; as, you reference, "... This Gentleman (Gt Gt Grandfather) ..."
Something, seems, amiss ...
I DO NOT think, that they should be "Merged"/"Combined ...
As, I suggested, confusing ...
Just my thoughts.

Short Answer: 'No', you CANNOT "Merge"/"Combine" those ...

Pedigree Resource File - Alex Couper
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:QLG7-S29
They are for "Information"; and, "Research", purposes ONLY ...
Just a "Guide" ...
NOTHING definitive ...
[ Just OTHER peoples work/research ... ]
[ Where, some, many be good; whereas, some, may NOT be so good ... ]
There is certainly NOTHING, that you, can; or, need, to do with them ...
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

Finally ...
Directly from "Genealogies": https://www.familysearch.org/search/genealogies
Quote:
------------------
Genealogies
FamilySearch Genealogies is a large directory of family trees, also known as lineages or pedigrees, that people and organizations have shared with FamilySearch. We organize the information into collections and make it available for you to search.
------------------
How is FamilySearch Genealogies different from FamilySearch Family Tree?
Genealogies is a database of tens of thousands of personal family trees, lineages, and other histories. The FamilySearch Family Tree, by comparison, is a single tree or lineage for the entire human family.
------------------
I hope, that this may also help/assist, somewhat.

Hi Brett, It looks like I made a big hiccup, I will try again tomorrow and sort out the information But to cap it all off, I saw at least 5 entries for Joseph Henderson (Nancy Allen) that are the same person but with only date differences

IF, they are in the "Genealogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch'; THEN, you DO NOT, have to, worry; or, do anything.
Whereas ...
IF, they are in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'; THEN, they may need "Merging"/"Combining".
And, are most probably there; as, the Parents, of their Children; and, just not all joined together ...
[ ie. "Merged"/Combined" ... ]
Good Luck.
