Children born before father.

Can someone with more expertise than myself review this person? I ran across this while I was updating another family line.

Thomas David Cassady, Male, 8 September 1904 – 20 November 1964, LYJ2-NS2

Thank you for using the Community. If you go to the person page for this Thomas David Cassady, Male, 8 September 1904 – 20 November 1964, LYJ2-NS2, where you can see all those red flags, about Child Born before Father, and Scroll down to Latest Changes, and click Show All, you will see that someone, in 2021, merged this person with another person, Thomas Cassidy, born 1833, even though those two persons were born 71 years apart. Clearly that was a bad merge, and it resulted in all those red flags. When you look at Latest Changes, and at that incorrect merge, you can click on the name of Thomas Cassidy, born 1833 in the Merge. It will tell you that this Person was Deleted by merge. But you can click down on his Person anyway, and on the next screen, under Deleted Person, you can click on RESTORE PERSON. Once you get this Thomas restored, you can assign the spouse and the seven children back to this Thomas. To do that, copy the ID for this Thomas, born 1833, and go to the Person page for Mary Ann Beebe, and click on the to little pencil for the marriage of Thomas David Cassady, Male, 8 September 1904 – 20 November 1964, LYJ2-NS2 to his spouse, Mary Ann Beebe. On the next screen, click under the husband, Thomas David Cassidy, on REMOVE OR REPLACE, and replace this Thomas with the ID of the Thomas born 1833. Then you can clean up the records for each Thomas and clear up all the red flags.

It looks like a fairly bad merge/conflated profiles on Dec 15, 2021. The original intended identity does appear to be Thomas David Cassady - 8 Sep 1904 of Oldham, Kentucky. So I think there are at least two profiles merged into one here - which will need to be separated/unmerged.

Thank you. I will print your answer and attempt to make the correction tomorrow. I'm already into a different family line now and I already have over 8 hours working on family lines today. Thank you.
