Fred Turner said: When you try to merge someone that has been marked "Not a Match" by someone else, it would be useful to see the text from the previous Not A Match entry along with the message.

It would show the detail of the previous reason not to merge and aid in the determination to merge or not to merge.

    Heidi Kuosmanen said: When there is no reason why someone has been marked as "Not a Match" it means that the someone who did it, did not add any reason but left the reason box empty. Thus FamilySearch cannot show any details why the not a match was done.

    There are people who do not give any reason why they do what they do in everything what they do and just last week I needed to unmerge some persons and I could not even quess why those merges were done because there was no reason added. Someone had merged two persons who were clearly two different persons with different names, birth and death dates. They were in reality half sisters. And actually that someone had merged their mothers also (father was same)! And with no reason.
