  Eli, you should be able to edit the events of your father's profile.  As for your fifth grandmother, you might need to collaborate with the manager, which will give you edit access to the profile.  Otherwise, if you want to post the correction here along with a link to the profile, I'll make the change for you.

  Thank you, Jeff! My fitfth grandmother: Rebecca Køster. Please delete "Jacobsdatter." There is another manager, Tonny Sundeng, who has my fifth grandmother in his family tree, but he has written her name correctly. About my father, there are a couple of things I would like to correct, but I do not know how to do it. Is it so that I cannot do small corrections myself, but have to write exactly what I want to put out in the profile and send it to you so you can do the edition?

  Eli, I took care of Rebecca, but looking at it, you're the manager, so you should have full permission to edit that profile.  To do so, you may use either the "edit" link on one of the nodes/boxes of the person in question or use the "Edit Profile" link on their profile page.  Let me know if you're having issues seeing those. 

  You should have full access to your fathers profile, editing as described above.  Also each event can be edited, which is visible in the Timeline tab.  If you want to send it to me, I can add it and then describe how I added it, so you can add stuff later (or I can walk you through adding it, once I know what you're trying to add).

  Geri, you can change your notifications here: http://www.geni.com/account_settings/notifications

  However, it won't allow you to get specific on which surnames.  You may have to do some manual work to unfollow certain things.
