I merged Anesine Marie Nielsen MJWB-D14 and Anesine Marie Nielsen MJ2P-C8R and they shouldn't have been merged but I can't under the merge because of subsequent changes I made. Can you undo the merge? Thank you!

    No one can undo the merge, but you and everyone else can restore the deleted person. Go to her profile and click Restore Person:

    This will bring back her profile exactly as it was before the merge.

    The difference between Undo and Restore is that Undo puts both profiles back exactly as they were before the merge. Restore only does this for the deleted profile. Therefore it is very important to go to the surviving profile, in this case MJWB-D14, and manually remove all the information and sources that came over in the merge. The Merge Analysis can help you make sure you catch all of that:

    Everything in the righthand column that ended up in the lefthand column has to be taken off that profile.

    Then you have to figure out how they both ended up with the same mother and fix that.
