Seems that there was a bad merge that connected profiles https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=83217699790,

But neither profile of Flora should have parents of James Monroe, 5th President of the USA and Elizabeth (Kortright) Monroe, 5th First Lady of the United States

Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Monroe

On February 16, 1786, Monroe married Elizabeth Kortright (1768–1830) in New York City.[14] She was the daughter of Hannah Aspinwall Kortright and Laurence Kortright, a wealthy trader and former British officer. Monroe met her while serving in the Continental Congress.[15]

After a brief honeymoon on Long Island, New York, the Monroes returned to New York City to live with her father until Congress adjourned. They then moved to Virginia, settling in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1789. They bought an estate in Charlottesville known as Ash Lawn–Highland, settling on the property in 1799. The Monroes had three children.[16]

*Eliza Monroe Hay was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1786, and was educated in Paris at the school of Madame Campan during the time her father was the United States Ambassador to France. In 1808 she married George Hay, a prominent Virginia attorney who had served as prosecutor in the trial of Aaron Burr and later as a U.S. District Judge. She died in 1840.[17]

*James Spence Monroe was born in 1799 and died sixteen months later in 1800.[18]

*Maria Hester Monroe (1802–1850) married her cousin Samuel L. Gouverneur on March 8, 1820, in the White House, the first president's child to marry there.[19][20]

I think that parents need disconnecting at the least. Kris Hewitt 🧬 and/or Private User could you weigh in and assist since James and Elizabeth are your curated profiles respectively? Thanks.

I'm not sure how that happened--I haven't had a chance to do much work on the family tree lalely, and even had to change my password to get into the site just now. If I need to do something to help in correcting the wrong merge, let me know. I certainly want the information to be right, and I know for a fact that I am not descended from any Presidents, former or current LOL

Made Flora Ann Carmichael a relationship locked master profile.

Thanks, Erica Howton! Private User, we are 9th cousins! Nice to meet you.

Hey, Cuz! Mom always told me about her Wayne County, Mississippi, kinfolks (Carmichaels) all loading up in an old truck back in the day and driving over to Greene County, Mississippi, where the Eubanks/McLeods were having a reunion, to check out their "Greene County kin" as they referred to them! I've not met any Carmichaels, but maybe I can one day:-)
