Two families were merged which are not related. The parent's names are the same but they live in different states and one family is white, the other black. The incorrect children have been sealed to LHDL-WFK. How can this be corrected? Call me at 541-479-0056.

There was a merge performed on 9 Jul 2019 where two John Washington Brooks records were merged and an Addie C McMillen record and an Addie Casselberry record were also merged.

I would restore the Addie Casselberry record (ID GS64-HC8) and the deleted John Washington Brooks record (ID L1YY-LL5). I suspect that the children will fall into two groups at that point with the correct mother.

The families will look like they have the same father since the names and dates on the two father records are identical. I suspect that inside the John Washington Brooks (ID L1YY-LL5) you will also find a record for a different man (the husband of Addie Casselberry) merged into the record. One this record is restored the two families should be separated from each other.
