I'm not sure this merge was correct: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=67586529810

Definitely a bad merge, not even gender ;-). The only match is the match on the mothers name, if in doubt compare the details on the parents.

Bumping this up since I just stumbled across it, too.

I've sorted it out, based on who added the profiles / managers. There was a bad merge of two John Murphys.

I've curated the parents and the next generation and put Curator's Notes in and let the managers know what I did and why.

There was also a Dec 29, 2010 automated merge and there were two bad merges subsequent that were done manually. I'm not sure if the Dec 29, 2010 merge precipitated the problem, but I always view this as suspicious when I see it in Revisions.

Thank you, Hatte Blejer. Figuring out bad merges is not a strength of mine at all, so I appreciate you fixing this longstanding issue.

I'm okay at reading Revisions and undoing merges. This was a fairly simple one involving two primary managers, two distinct families. Sometimes people have gotten in and messed around more and then it's no fun.
