Geni Says My Father is Me

Hi Carl, not the best way to get help but it worked in the end. Give me an hour or two and I’ll try and sort it out for you.

Okay, so what has happened I think is that you were on the FamilySearch profile of your father Asa and opened the SmartCopy app. When you first open SC it asks you to identify which Geni profile is a match for the website you are looking at. I believe in this instance you have identified that the Geni target profile was yourself.

The correct method would have been to view the FamilySearch profile representing yourself and then open SC to link the FS profile to your Geni profile. This would have added your siblings and parents to Geni and after that you could have opened your father’s FS profile and activated SC from it to copy his parents and siblings to his Geni profile.

I will try to correct what currently exists for you.

Hi Carl, I disconnected you and reconnected you buy there is more repair work needed as you note have two mums and a step dad. You should be able to merge these yourself without trouble, unfortunately I’m really struggling with my internet connection at the moment.
