re Isabella Marion Ferry

Who are her parents?

Thomas Watson Ferry

Thanks Angus

Is her mother Sarah Marion Ferry ?

Yes

I will add her but if you look at Family Search she isn't showing as a child

That is the problem. She is in the official NZ BDM register which shows her as a twin. If there is a problem then the relevant government department should be contacted to adjust their records.

You said "She is in the official NZ BDM register which shows her as a twin"
Do you have a link to that so we could add it to her About

Angus. This is a problem that is probably made worse by Smart Copy...

Even though we carefully cite the source of our information in Geni, if another site shows different information then Geni is assumed to be incorrect.

Additionally, our source no longer applies yet it is never changed. As a result I'm now wary of sources as they may no longer be relevant to the data.

I suspect that SmartCopy, because of it's ease of use, is encouraging a ppm (profiles per minute) frame of mind, and that checking data is annoying as it slows down the process. Entering data manually may be slow but it forces you to consider each fact in turn.

Angus. The About states 'Select TIMELINE for details'. If you follow this direction you will find the information.

Ok I have asked Geni to look at this,

I created another profile for her and Mastered it Isabella Marion Ferry because when I try moving the original Isabella Marion Ferry I get errors

Private User, If you no longer wish to collaborate with someone, click on the 'Activity' tab on your profile page then the "View All" link in your 'Collaborators' module. You will then be able to use the "Stop Collaborating" link to discontinue collaboration with that person.

Thanks, Jim!

I found these pending merges, and I don't understand why they are pending, because there is just a single manager involved for all of them

Ard van Bergen, at least for the first one, the user name is the same (Michael Edward Broom) but these are two distinct accounts he maintains (see below), so for the sake of Geni they are different.

Michael Edward Broom
Michael Edward Broom

Ah, I see, and I suppose it is the same for the three other pending merges.

So it looks like Michael Edward Broom first started as Michael Edward Broom, then maybe forgot his password, started again and tried (in vain) to merge the profiles he had already in his other account?
