Someone has edited the profile of my great grandfather David Levine - David Levine - and added personal information and family members that belong with another David Levine. I have exchanged Geni messages and emails with a member of the other family (Linda Karen Blumstein). We both see what needs to be done to fix this problem, but neither of us knows how to do it.

A friend recommended I ask for the help of a curator -- and so I am.

Thanks,

The Revisions tab is how you can track what has changed. By looking at the revisions for David, I find a merge on May 23rd: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=81969654210
By reviewing that merge it looks like the profile of the father was merged first. Taking a look at the Revisions tab of the father we find another merge on the same day: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=81969652210
Reviewing that merge shows a merge of the wife Rebecca: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=81969655090
The merge on Rebecca shows there was a merge on son Benjamin that to me looks like a bad merge: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=81969654770

Take all of this information and request help in this discussion thread: https://www.geni.com/discussions/245980

Thank you very much! The first merger you listed above is the one that combined my great grandfather with the other David Levine. https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=81969654210 That one needs to be reversed. The others concern only the other David Levine and his family and I don't know whether they are correct or not.

But looking at the revisions tab for my David Levine, there are four other changes that happened immediately before the first merger above. They all need to be reversed and - after the merger is undone and then applied to the other David Levin (who has no "e" David Levine)

The four changes that need to be undone are:
- David Levine's profile was updated by Susan Gail Igdaloff. birth and death
May 23 at 11:46 AM
- Mates Levin was added as David Levine's parent by Susan Gail Igdaloff.
May 23 at 11:47 AM
- Rebecca Levin (Smilg) was added as Mates Levin's spouse by Susan Gail Igdaloff.
May 23 at 11:48 AM
- Shlomo Berl Levine was added as David Levine's sibling by Susan Gail Igdaloff.
May 23 at 11:49 AM

No what do I do? Send everything to the discussion thread you listed?

Thanks,

Steve Levine

Hi Jonathon, I'm not sure where the merge tab is or why anyone merged David Levine (from Kupiskis) with the other David Levine. But they are two different individuals, one lived and died in Lithuania, one was from Russia and came to the US. I have documents to support this. David Levine 2 was married to Mattie and another woman (I have the marriage records), he was not married to Sora, who never came to the US. David Levine 1 is buried in Lithuania, David Levine 2 is buried in PA. So the question is how do we separate the two trees and give Mattie the correct husband?
