A Mothers Perspectie on Profiles! Plates of Spagettis Looks the same but is a really big mess!

Help Please.
How can one women have two children during the same year by two different husbands while her sister with a smilier name goes unnoticed. I can not merge this file. It is a plate of spagetti! I am new and not so good at that kind of merge!

I am posting the children of Richard Warren and Sarah for anyone who may be concerned.
Two daughters Sarah Warren b. 1649 and Alice Warren b 2 Aug 1656/
I is a problem and discouraging when the internet mixes family members such as these sisters with their dates
and other family members cooking up a mess for someone to clean up.
We need a computer program that can stir and measure out a recipe. What do you think.
Has anyone else had this kind of issue.

Take a closer look in the Relationship tab under edit profile on the children that is misplaced: The parent listing is a pull-down menu where you easily can move the profile to another parent set.

I suggest doing it in tree-view to see the effect immediately.

Debra, those names are setting off red flags for me. If they're the same profiles I'm remembering, we've been doing a lot of work in that area and it doesn't surprise me to hear that you've found another "spaghetti tangle"!

Do you know how to "tag" a profile into a discussion? That's the best way to let others see what you're looking at. If you could open up the profile for Richard Warren, you can copy the URL (internet address) for his profile into this discussion. That way we can be sure we're talking about the same Richard Warren and his family.

If it is the same guy, it sounds as though this is a family you're really knowledgeable about - your input would be very helpful to those of us who've been trying to fix the problems in that portion of the tree.

No path found to Sarah Warren. Experienced members should reach out to him with collaboration requests
