Can't dismiss "death before non-existent marriage" consistency issue
Consistency issue claims the person died before marriage. There's no such data but the problem can't be dismissed/

What profile is this on? I would agree with making died before marriage non-dismissible because it is such a blatant error that needs to be fixed. So the question is, why does the routine think the person was married? There must be something on the profile throwing it off. Post the ID so people can help you search for the non-existent marriage.

This comment is about my Grandmother, Anna Goldie Halverson. Anna had 3 mothers. Her birth mother, Anna Sward, died 10 days after she was born and her father left the area. She was raised by her mother's sister, Christina Sward Sanders, for nine years, then went to live with her other Aunt, Inger Sward Johnson who, I was told Inger and her husband John Johnson adopted Anna and continued to raise her until she was 18. I have never been able to find a death certificate for her birth mother but she is buried in the Provo City Cemetery. I knew my grandmother and some of her adopted sisters and brothers.
I hope this will raise her data quality score, and answer some questions. If you have any questions for me, please call me (phone number removed)

Please post your grandmother's PID (person identifier) so she can be looked up easily. I assume you are saying that the DQS' algorithm could be improved to handle her better? It is important to note that scores cannot be tweaked on a profile by profile basis.
Also please edit your post to remove your 'phone number as this is a public forum. Any discussion will take place here in Community or via a private message to you here. Thanks.

@Diane Westmoreland There are a number of things you can do to improve her Data Quality Score:
ID: KW8Q-1CK https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/KW8Q-1CK
Data Completeness:
A. Marriage Place missing a city - John and Anna have three marriage events that are all duplicates. One of them has just Salt Lake, Utah, United States. This is the one without a city. Delete that one and delete the duplicate with date 24 Dec 1910.
B. A residence place is missing a City - this check is based on the linked standard, not the displayed place so can be tricky to see. It could be referring to any of the three residences below, which are followed by the linked standard (in bold) and a possible improvement:
- Salt Lake City Ward 1, Salt Lake, Utah, United States - Salt Lake, Utah, United States - Salt Lake City Ward 1, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States
- Precinct 4, Salt Lake, Utah, United States - Election Precinct 4, Salt Lake, Utah, United States - (A note says this was in Garfield, Utah, so should this be:) Precinct 4, Garfield, Salt Lake, Utah, United States (or is the note wrong and this was really Precinct 4, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States?)
- Los Angeles, California - Torrance, Los Angeles, California, United States - Should this be Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, United States or Torrance, Los Angeles, California, United States?
Source Tagging:
A. Just tag all the residences with your census sources for them. Do this by clicking on the entry, clicking Tag Source, then choosing the correct census:
Source Consistency:
A. Some of these you just need to dismiss because the source uses a married name instead of her maiden name.
B. Some of these you just need to dismiss because the source might be using an approximate location instead of a real one. But when dismissing do explain why the marriage record says she was born in Salt Lake City while her profile says she was born in Provo.
C. Then there are the two birth certificates for her first child in which her maiden name was pretty sloppy written but were indexed as Sanders which was the surname of her aunt and uncle. These you also just need to dismiss because its easy to see why she used that as her maiden name even though it wasn't.
Conflict-free Data:
A. Two biological fathers - you need to mark James Howard Sanders as either a foster father or a guardian.
B. Two biological mothers - you need to mark Christian Akesdotter Sward as either a foster mother or guardian.
C. Born 4 years before marriage - changing the relationships to this set of parents will take care of this, also because the routine will have the information that this couple were not her biological parents.
All this is doing exactly what the Data Quality Checker is supposed to do which is to get us to re-assess and clean up profiles so they have the best data possible. Here it is doing so by making you get rid of duplicate marriages, clean up residences and make sure the displayed residence matches the linked standard place name, tag sources to all the data so other users can easily find that supporting documentation, confirm that sources that need explaining are for that person or are removed if actually not for that person, and making sure relationships are properly identified.

@Mormor192 Did you want to get your problem with the appropriately non-dismissalbe flag of death before marriage worked on or did you solve the problem?
