Why are dates not in any order of births?
I am trying to go back in time for Rita Pagan Zapata (LV9H-4J5). It seems that from the 1700's, it goes to 1600's & then back to 1700's. It is impossible to accurate that the correct lineage here. I know that all of the other ancestors I have traced, go back in the correct order. I don't know what happened here. Can you please help me understand this? Thanks so much for your help. David

@Dav-1 I have looked at the fan chart for Rita and can't see which linage has the date problem. Where is this specifically?
There are two possible answers for what you are seeing. One is that dates could be standardized incorrectly. Otherwise someone has probably accidentally created a looping pedigree. This occurs if, for example, the same profile with the identical ID is entered as both an ancestor and a descendant of someone.

Thank you for your help. I found this also on another branch. I wish people would proof what they enter

I opened up the tree of Rita LV9H-4J5 in landscape format to review it in greater detail.
One profile I see that is problematic:KV2V-GZC Diego de Montalbo is recorded as born in 1695, but his daughter Maria GJYT-V4S has a 1645 year of birth. Maria's mother has a 1592 year of birth.

@Dav-1 Could you please provide Person IDs for one specific example of the problem? For example, you could say something like: John Smith ABC-1234 was born in 1692, but his father James Smith BCD-2345 was born in 1734. That would help us see just what the problem is, and then track down how it happened and make recommendations for fixing it.
