The attached profiles appear to be of the same people however there is not enough information in the abandoned profile to be certain.

Marvin Jackson
wife Sally Sara Jackson
child Richard Jackson
child Private
also has another daughter not listed

Thanks

Wait, it's YOUR copy that has the other daughter not listed. So what is your source? Seeing as THAT is precisely the branch that is built out on the other tree, that would the best place to validate the match.

I always ask myself - how likely is it that a nuclear family with the exact same names (and maiden names) is NOT a match? I have no idea regarding these specific names.

Hi Shmuel-Aharon - my source is an ancestry tree and the other daughter is listed as living so I cannot see the details so cannot add any more information to her.
My family is dna connected to them.

Unfortunately the abandoned geni tree had no dates entered so other than 3 names being the same (common ones like Sara/Sarah and Richard) it is not possible for a non curator to compare the living profiles to determine if the <private> was Randy which would add weight to them being the same tree.

My purpose in creating a discussion (rather than a curator request) was that someone connected/interested in the line in some future might be able to easily see the two trees and if they had more information they could request a merge.

Oh. Yes the <private> IS a "Randy".

Leanne M (Volunteer Curator - Australia) 馃嚘馃嚭 - you can often discover those for yourself -- for example -- use the Search box at the top - search on "Randy Jackson" - then when results come up, use yellow box on side, click "Family" and enter "Marvin" for father and click "Search" in the yellow box. [you can also use a similar technique to discover if a "private" profile is living or deceased (in that case, use "Filters"), etc.]

The wives are called
Sally Sara Jackson (Seiden)
Sarah Jackson (Seiden)

Note the maiden name

I think they can be merged
