The same person is listed twice with the same PID
It seems unlikely that the following relationships could exist at the same time:
There are two persons in the tree with the same id: Mary Elizebeth Seeley (L2Y7-WWM) and Mary Elizebeth Seeley (L2Y7-WWM).
If our analysis is correct, the historical record was incorrectly transcribed. Here is what to do:
- Review the names and relationships you see in Family Tree.
- Correct any mistakes you see
- If you know the information is correct, proceed to attach.

How can two (Mary Elizabeth Seeley) have the same PID (L2Y7-WWM)?
I do not see how I could have done this.

That error message is a known problem. The engineers are working on a solution - hoping to have it fixed by next week.

I've seen this sometimes when a person has two sets of parents listed.

That particular error message has shown up for unrelated issues. There are at least 3 current threads.

The cause of the message in your example is that Mary Elizebeth Seeley (L2Y7-WWM) is both the wife of Nathan Thomas Branch (L2YQ-YPD) and his (half?) sister; their mother is Katherine Ellen Nellie Manning (L2YQ-ZVR). This error message is recognized as being illogical. This is a screenshot from the descendancy view:
If you can correct the relationship, the error message will stop occurring.
I presume that this message arose when you were trying to attach a source to Nathan. If that source is relevant, you can still attach it by clicking the "proceed to attach" link in the message.

Thank you. I removed Mary Elizabeth Seely [L2Y7-WWM] as a daughter from an unknown father and Kathern Ellie Manning [L2YQ-ZVR]. I am guessing the engineers are trying to give a better error message.

Can a mod confirm that the engineers have a ticket for this misleading error message issue, please? @Ashlee C.
