Correction of a Record on your site
I can not ask the person who put up the inf to correct it we had some issues not on this site but another one. On the record of a Carol Elizabeth Inglis ( GXF1-QZB someone added another husband changing Carols name to the following Carol Elizabeth Inglis Cook (Steele) Richard, Holmstrom and Harms. Carol first husband Cook they divorced she married Richard he died, then married Homstrom divorced him, then married Harms he died she did not marry again.
STEELE is not one of Carol's husbands he is the 2nd husband of her mother Doris Case Perkins Inglis. I would appreciate you correcting Carol's record I have the documents to prove my request. I would appreciate your not telling [removed] this inf. came from me thank you.

Hi Hattie,
There really isn't a "your site", it is "our site." We each of us make additions and edits to create our twigs and branches of this giant family tree.
Since you do have documentation, the best approach (in my opinion) is to attach those sources to Carol's profile and link them to the people and events. It's hard to argue with facts.
Btw, having all of those married names in her surname field (which is supposed to only be for her maiden name) is a disservice when it comes to receiving AI generated hints. Married names can be added as "Alternate" names, and there is a dropdown selection to specify that it is a "Married Name."

As I understand the post, @hattiemurphy does not want her name connected with the profiles in question. I understand her position because I have been attacked myself for adding correct documentation.
Perhaps some kind soul would undertake to assist.
@hattiemurphy for future reference - a record is a document (census, birth, marriage, death). A person on FamilySearch has a profile.

Thank you for your reply Carol was a cousin a few times removed and I just wanted to check out the inf. that was posted on her account so I researched each item then I requested and paid for copies of her marriage, divorce, death certs. Documents As I mention I am sorry to say I will not change any of the records.

I am working my way up through her son's Jay (sorry, Carol's brother Jay), with census etc and have already disproven the Steel marriage. It will take me awhile to get this cleaned up as there are multiple versions Carol's mother with different surnames. Please do contact me through pm though.
eta: ugh! I should never speak definitively off the top of my head. I think I've disproven the Steel marriage

I've been having a look, too, and am pleased that @vjdavis has offered to edit that last name field!
I have been looking at the records of James Francis Inglis and his two wives - Alice M Weldon (who shows as "Divorced" in the 1940 census) and Doris Case Perkins (shown as just Doris Case in the profile created by Alicia). There are duplicates of both James and Doris in Family Tree.
I'm taking a break from FamilySearch until later today, but (as I suggest) am looking more at the broader relationships (with Carol Inglis).

@hattiemurphy I'll do it.

Hattie, send me a personal message. I am happy to help fix it (I'm just itching to get those married names where they belong, haha)

Feel free to merge the duplicate profiles for James and Doris (have already amended her full name) if you get there before me! (See G66S-Q6G and GPPG-G2V). I nearly added children (to James and both wives) before realising they might well be still alive - certainly haven't time to check that, for those born within the last 110 years. Personally, I rarely add profiles for the living to Family Tree.

This is awful. I am trying to attach primary source documents and people are changing before I can even get it attached.

@Paul W I'm going to compile a list of the source documents that I found for Doris, so that you can attach them (and make the changes). My memory problems make it too difficult for me to analyze the changes that are occurring on the fly, so that I can be sure that I'm gathering the correct documents for the correct people. I'll post them here (it will take me a bit as I have a Zoom meeting in a few minutes).

oh for heaven's sake. I cannot post my list because the formatting is removing all of the links. I don't have time to figure it out. :(

I've now carried out merges, leaving GPPG-G2V as James Inglis' profile. Have added a note in his Collaboration section to show work not complete.

Mod mote: This discussion was moved from General Questions to Family Tree. The name of a living person was removed for their privacy.

Whilst this is very much a "work in progress", it appears that Harold J Steele (see LTXJ-LDN) married an Alice M Johnson in 1918. She died in 1957 and then (probably) he married a "Doris C", who died in 1997. (See Find A Grave headstone photo in his Sources section.) What is confusing me at present is that Harold appears to have only had Michigan and Florida connections, while Doris C Inglis (formerly Perkins) is found in New York in 1950.
The problem (from what has been added to Family Tree) is in finding any connection between Doris C Perkins-Inglis and Harold Steele. Her Find A Grave record shows her as "Doris Case Perkins Steele" but the headstone merely shows a "Doris C Steele", without any further identity (New York born or otherwise) for her.
Unless you / someone can come up with a marriage certificate for Harold J Steele it is going to be difficult to prove the identity of the "Doris C Steele" who is buried alongside him in Florida.

@Paul W I'll step aside and leave this to you. The problem is not in finding the connections; the problem is in making changes before attaching the primary source documents which contain the connections.
The headstone contains more than just "Doris C Steele" - it is a joint headstone with her husband and the birth date matches her birth certificate, which includes parental info and birth location.

@hattiemurphy Be aware that FamilySearch has a "Report Abuse" feature if needed. It is on the right-hand side of every profile page (scroll down a bit to see it).
If it is determined that someone is not following the rules, they may be prohibited from accessing that profile or perhaps prohibited from using the website. So it really is okay to make the changes yourself. FamilySearch doesn't tolerate mistreatment. 😊

Whilst further updating these records - including the removal of Harold J Steele as Carol's husband - I had not seen your additional comments (above), providing specific details for the marriage events. If you wish, I will use these to add these further marriage events to Carol's profile. Indeed, perhaps this is better than for you to do so, in view of the problems experienced on the other website. I can then update my notes (in Collaboration sections, etc.) to reflect the fact that there is documentary evidence for these marriages (of Carol) as well as it being Doris who married Harold.
@vjdavis has been very helpful and encouraging in the comments made in this thread. Just to add, I have also amended that last name (which was annoying us both so much!) to plain INGLIS.

Just one problem with adding these additional marriages: establishing whether those spouses are still alive, in which case they would need to be marked as "Living" and would only appear in the private space of the person who created them. Since I will probably have any further need to view them, it is probably best for you to do so, after all. Unless you can find their deaths / enter them as Deceased, they should be shown as Living and (as stated) this means only you will see these details.
If you need further help, either post again here or contact me by private message (click on the envelope icon, top right of this page).
Best wishes in your further research. Hopefully, you (or I!) won't have this work undone be anyone who insists on contradicting what appears to be the clear evidence you have in your possession, and that which appears in official documentation.
Oh, after writing the above I have just noticed you have provided a death date for Marion Howard Richards, but no one husband. However, I will still leave these marriages for you to add to Family Tree (the ones to deceased spouses Roger Cook and Wilbur Harms already having been added to her profile, of course).
