Actions Required
1) Genealogical sound sources need to be added to Geni to prove the facts - ie his name, his date of birth, his date of death, his parents (biological and adoptive if appropriate), his spouse etc - these need to be actual genealogically sound sources not internet trees.
2) are there multiple men with similar names that could be confused with each other
3) agreement by all the profile managers, family and interested parties on what facts can be proven and what facts cannot be proven
4) agreement by all the profile managers, family and interested parties on what should be in the profile overview.
Once this is completed the profiles can be altered to contain the agreed information.

Leanne M (Volunteer Curator - Australia) 🇦🇺 comments on the information contained in the overview
INFO 1, 2 and 3 refer to Charles Henry Schwenger who was born in 1920, died in 1985 and married in 1945 in Australia to Elena Helen Schwenger. He appears to be the grandson of the profile in question.
I will remove these comments from the overview of Carl Heinrich aka Charles Henry Schwenger

What is Heinz's relationship to Carl?
on sunday the 27th; i willl look at this
there are a lot of notes on profile of:
Christina Maria Schwenger
about christina maria schwenger
so, i will SORT out truth from fiction
by looking them all up
there was a woman with the name of:
Christina Maria Schwenger
she shows up on canadian census
with a daughter - minnie
a son - karl
perhaps a 3rd son named heinz
- who might of traveled
with carl heinrich schwenger]
and, a 4th son - (but; THAT MIGHT of been
carl heinrich schwenger)
who NOW has a different mother; and; an unkown father
i NOTICE that fritz hetzinger ?
does NOT have a birthdate
that syncs him, as, being the other man
who was 22, when he was 18 ? (approx)
heinz schwenger wasrecorded on boat
as schweinger

What is the source for Friedrich Fritz Johannes Hezinger born in 1875 being the son of Fridolin Hetzinger and Maria Sophia Hetzinger ?
Maria Sophia Hetzinger is on Geni as having died in 1870 in childbirth (5 years before he was born)
Maria Sophia Hetzinger has had her birthdate changed from 24 May 1841 to 24 February 1841 and then back to 24 May 1841
What is the source for either of these dates?
DNA testing might prove this:
father of Charles Henry Schwenger
there is a story; I do remember hearing
something from one of my Uncles that Charles mother Maria
was a chamber maid for Nepolian III
and that he was the father
and that's why he was sent to Canada
when he was only 17 ?.
Have you ever heard that? Bill Schwenger
yes, i heard my dad, aunt bertha
& grandpa albert schwenger talk about that too
(there is a photo of him / and, a photo of napoleon,
and, they sure could be son /father
~ susan lynne schwenger
- so; i am trying to determine if she in fact did work for him
and, i am getting my dna marker stuff done
How did Fritz suddenly become born 5 years earlier?
What are the sources for these dates?
his mother died in child-birth having him in 1870
ALSO, IT WAS NOT FRITZ AND CHARLES WHO TRAVEL TOGETHER TO CANADA
(AS, KATHRYN, had stated)
SS Salier from Bremen, Germany to New York 8/7/1882
Carl SCHWENGER age 19
known on geni.com as Carl Heinrich aka Charles Henry Schwenger
Heinz SCHWEIGER age 22
that travel on the manifest of SS Salier from Bremen, Germany
to New York 8/7/1882
carl was lutheran
- and; heinz Schweiger - was jewish (definitely NOT brothers)
Heinz is the brother of Samuel Schweinger
- who is married to Minnie Schweinger
(tombstones / census - etc., prove those dates)
everything on all profiles; seems correct now
thank you / susan
Susan Lynne Schwenger When you first entered Fritz in 2020 you gave him a birth date of 1875 then on 10 April you changed his birth date to 1870. Without sources this appears to be a changing the data to fit a scenario.
Kathryn hasn’t added anything to Geni, you have added these and you need to include sources for the entries you have added.
What is the source for Fritz’s birth or death dates?
Where was he born?
Where did he die?
What is the source for his changing his name from Hezinger to Schwenger?
When did this name change occur?
If he changed his name why is his wife and daughter called Hezinger rather than Schwenger?
When and where did he marry Bertha ?
When and where was his daughter born?
Maria also had another child in 1873

Father's Sex Male
Mother's Name Maria Schwenger
