Maude Bessie Penn b Mississippi 1877 is NOT Maude Jordan Cunningham, b Rockdale TX 1879. Maude Jordan married Fred Cunningham and is the mother of Carrie Cunningham Bauman. These two different Maudes are mixed up in FamilySearch and I do not know how to separate them. I visited the home of my mother's great aunt Maude in New Orleans in about 1955. There is absolutely no doubt that this Maude is not Maude Bessie from Mississippi. How can this be fixed? Everything here on FSearch seems hard to do.

    @MazyPutnam It seems clear that the first Maude is Maude Bessie Penn L2WK-GT2.

    I'm not sure that the second Maude exists in Family Tree right now, because her details are conflated with the first Maude in that single profile linked to above. But looking through her change history, I see Maude Jordan Cunningham L16F-M51, who was deleted via merge.
