Hi

 

I've added a lot of people in my tree and it happens that some people (at least 1 I discovered, maybe more) are multiple times in my trees:

http://www.geni.com/people/Br%C3%A9vin-Jarniou/6000000018893220938

and

http://www.geni.com/people/Br%C3%A9vin-Jarniou/6000000018893229553

 

are the same person (I've added both!).

When I see the trees, geni mark their profile with the little "tree match found" icon, when I click it, geni asks me to go pro, which is not very cool since I added both of them!

How can I tell geni "those too profiles are the same guy"?

Thanks.

  Open each tree view in a separate browser tab.  On one of the trees, select the more option on that profile, and then select move.  Wait for the profile to appear in a box on the right hand side of the tree view.  Then go over to your other tab and refresh.  You should now see the move box in that tab.  Drag the profile in the box over the other duplicate profile and state they are the same person.

  Here is a explanation that does something similar:

  Oh, forgot to mention that you'll then have to resolve any duplicates by clicking through the exclamation mark and following the instructions.  Let me know if you need help or want me to do it, it's no problem, I just figured you'd want to learn and do it yourself.

  Thanks Jeff!

  I didn't managed to have the box appearing in the second browser tab, but I found another option while trying: on the profile, there is a drop down menu called "actions" which have a "merge" option.

  Thanks again!
