My wife and I share distant ancestors, how do we get our tree to merge? Is that possible? One of her cousins is trying to merge his tree with mine due to shared ancestry and its a big mess of duplicates. Thanks, Ed.

Jeff, Geni Curator Yes, certainly we can merge them. Once a merge takes place, you'll want to do the conflict resolution to merge all the remaining duplicates. If you need help with this, just point me to the area that needs fixing.

Jeff, Geni Curator Henriette, we do have several profiles that might be connected to your family and your husbands. You may want to post here with help getting connected to existing branches in Geni. But you'll want to expand out your tree a bit so the curators have something to work with. https://www.geni.com/discussions/142108

Hector Andres Sarril I found that my great grandfather is in another tree, found out that an aunt i havent seen in ages was making her version and with my version we could make a greater and more complete tree.
Is is posible to join one with the other being my great grandfather and her great uncle the point in common?

Jeff, Geni Curator Hector, yes absolutely - that's the primary function of Geni as a shared collaborative tree. https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree/learn-more
I'll merge it now.

Mohd Saffuan Hi Jeff,
I would like to merge my ancestor with other tree of which i saw was the same ancestor.
I also found that the manager who i did not know but was known by my uncle, is taking care of the other tree and no longer active. what should i do?

Jeff, Geni Curator Mohd, I'll go ahead and merge them for you. One thing to note is that the other tree appears to have all the profiles as deceased, even you and your children, making the profiles public. So it's good that you're merging it so that you can take control of your privacy. But the side effect when I merge is that I may not know who is living and who is deceased. I'm going to follow your tree, but if there are others on this tree that you don't have added, you should review them and double check their living status.
