Thanks Jim! :) https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000030069628547
Any chance you could fix this too? I am not allowed to merge.
Actually, Arnfred Nilsen, I would do the work - if I could. But I am not authorized to open Zombies. Isn't that what this discussion thread is all about? Getting help to open profiles of people who are markrd as livimg, and thus impossible for regular users to access?
Please ellaborate how I could "save other for a lot of work"? Am I bothering you in some way?
Martin Andreas Karl (Dries) Potgieter, that is very kind of you. I greatly appreciate it.
I don't need special treatment though. :)
What I don't see is how me asking for help in this thread of almost 3500 posts, is a problem to Arnfred.
The problem with these four profiles involved, was that there was one mother (Maren Christoffersdatter) and three fathers (Oluf Olsen and Oluf Bentsen and a Zombie) of "Bent Olsen, tingmann i Grunnfjord".
I merged two of them, but as one father was a Zombie (Oluff Bentsen), I wasn't allowed to do any more work on those profiles.
Now I see, that the last father has changed sex and name, by Arnfred himself. I am just questioning his reaction towards me, who was just trying to solve the problem as best as I could.
"NeXT time" Arnfred says I should fix the problem myself, and save other people the work??.
Randi Charlotte Kjærvik,
You could not have fixed Maren Christoffersdatter by yourself. Only Curators or the profile manager(s), can switch zombies to deceased and private marked profiles to public.
This is one of the most used help discussions on Geni. We even have a 'zombie hunter' which sometimes helps to kill some of them :-)
I believe that there are zombies in this tree:
