Robert de Montgomery - Consistency check

I’m confused.

The profile was not added today; it was created in 2008.

Neil has added a great many actual real sources (as is his wont— yay).

Profiles this far back often have several lines of connection.

I’m not seeing any inconsistencies.

Cousins married cousins all the time. It went against canon law but you could easily get a dispensation if you were rich and/or powerful.

So I’m not clear on what I’m missing.

I got notifications on several people as well. Is this a new Geni feature ?

Steven Mitchell Ferry, yes, it's a great new feature. You can learn more about it at https://www.geni.com/blog/introducing-the-consistency-checker-to-th...

Steven Mitchell Ferry — you will find it problematic in the medieval Welsh Tree; things are getting better but we fall through cracks. Just tell it to ignore anything you know to be right.

I did note that I had the option to correct, hide it from all viewers, or just hide it from my view. It may be useful for more modern lineages, but it is blind to other naming conventions.

Hide it from all. If users who are unused to naming conventions such as those used in the medieval tree attempt to be "helpful," things can get quite awful.

The Coat of Arms attributed to Robert Montgomery is wrong, and it should be removed from this profile. Aspects of the ancestry of Robert's descendants, the Earls of Eglinton, is represented in the Armorial Ensigns depicted in the Scots Peerage but it is clear from this display that the principal charge on the original coat was three fleur de lis. https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun03paul/page/n441

Private User Thanks for noticing. I untagged the photo.

Anne Brannen I will do so. The programming seems to accept ap, but not ab...just saying..lol. I'm also adjusting your Bartrum URL's to https where I find them.

My hero!

Yes, we think that the "ab" that I've been putting in so carefully is reading as the American A.B. degree. So supposedly a suffix. Mike says he'll look into it.

Thanks for the Bartrum changes. I had plans to systematically work through them, but they Made Me Sad. So so far I just do them as I go along. By the time I get the rest of the volumes entered, there won't be that many of them.

lol.
