Hello,
I accidentally populated a profile with my own email address (bad cut/paste) and GENI then immediately merged the 2 profiles. Now I can't unmerge them.
Can I get help from a curator to fix this?
My profile (Steven C Vogel) should NOT be merged with James Meekhof - this profile https://www.geni.com/people/James-Meekhof/5565435523180055110
Note:Mine is https://www.geni.com/people/Steven-Vogel/5388072009340025858
Steven, I've unmerged the profiles. Please take a look and make sure all is well.
Thank you. It looks to be fixed.
Question - If I upgraded to Pro, could I have fixed this myself? It seems easy to accidentally cause a merge.
Unmerging is a curator only function. With Pro, you could have perhaps disconnect the incorrect parents and spouse. Then recreated the other profile.
Thank you. I think there's one more bad merge in my tree. This is the link:

This merge problem has been around for a long time. Can this be un-merged?
Thanks.
Steven, it looks like a legit merge of the same person. It just appears that david grave had different ancestry for Cornelius (listing Johanan as the mother). So I would recommend against an unmerge in this case as that would leave a second profile of Cornelius. The best thing to do here is just to disconnect the incorrect parent(s). If you're sure Pieter and Cornelia are correct, I can disconnect it, otherwise if you're unsure, I suggest starting a discussion and asking David where he got that information, what sources he has, etc.
I do see Cornelius listed with Pieter and Cornelia in the 1900, 1910, & 1920 Census. But maybe the family has some information, such as Johanan being the biological mother and Pieter and Cornelia being adoptive. So, I just want to get confirmation before I disconnect.
Thank you. I will contact David for more information.
I have a merge issue too. I had explored this merge myself previously and I convinced myself there are two different families involved. Mary Poore (little and George Poore with a son Moses Poor. The two versions of the trees I have seen both have the same death date cited for Mary. I know my tree is solid up through Moses Poor and Sarah Little with documentation showing my lineage.
There is solid evidence of a George (1761-1833) and Mary (1764-1849) with George descended from Capt Joseph Poore (DAR and SAR records). However the son Moses and Sarah/Sally have two different families. For example the SAR records support a path not in my tree of Moses/Sally having a daughter Sarah E Poor Stinson with siblings Harriet, Alonzo etc. These do not trace to my records.
In my research I have only got to Mary and can't positively go back farther.
Oh... my first indication was all the inconsistencies in birthdates. My data for my George Poor puts him about 1720 and Mary as now shown is born in 1764- 44 years difference is too much. My Moses Poor shows a birthdate of 1752 which is before the birthday of the now shown mother Mary Poor Little.
Can I get these unmerged??????
https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/profiles/3080711878-Brian-David-Wilson I've tried a merge UNDO and I believe it's worked correctly. I sent you a message also.
Hello,
I entered a wrong email address to a profile resulting in a merge. Can you undo it?:

Hi,
I have a same problem in my tree. I merge by mistake my profile with my grandpa profile ... And my tree looks weird. I merged it by import the same GEDCOM file ...
Hi,
I made a mistake of merging two people in my family tree. In my family tree, I merged two people who were way different. In the picture below there should be only one Wilhelmina Müller and that should be the one at the bottom of the picture who is married to the guy with the picture. Also, the guy with the picture has two copies as well. Can you guys fix this? 
The person who should be married to the Baron without the picture should be named Magdalena Manuel.
Dear Curator,
It would be much appreciated if you could help with the unmerging of two family tree due to personal reasons and the fact that it would be preferred as two separate trees as one party would not like to merge the trees nor profiles.
Tree 1: https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000165629338840
Tree 2: https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000176054313872
The spilt being from this profile upwards: https://www.geni.com/people/Leith-Petersen/6000000165628177888 .
I do understand that Geni trees will eventually be merged as this is nearly the purpose of the site but the relative who manages the other tree prefers to have their tree be separate and I would have to respect their wish and avoid conflict but also would not like to lose my hard work in constructing the tree.
I hope you understand my circumstances and look forward to an update.
Best Wishes
Ali (A geni user)
