How to Split Trees?

Could anyone please help me fix a merge that someone else did that was incorrect? I never received a request for this merge and I most certainly did not approve it. I am assuming the merge was done by the person that is now listed as a profile manager along with me, on my great-grandmother's profile. She incorrectly merged my great-grandmother, Mary Agnes (Reckhouse) Miller with someone on her family tree. They are obviously completely different people with different sets of parents, different spouses, and different children. I have emailed her to resolve this but have not had a response. I have tried fixing it myself by splitting the trees through assigning Mary Agnes (Reckhouse) Miller's actual parents and spouse, but I am getting a message saying this would split the trees and cannot be done. Splitting the tress is exactly what I intend to do. Are you able to help please? The url for Mary Agnes (Reckhouse) Miller is https://www.geni.com/people/Mary-Agnes-Reckhouse/6000000004733875001

Thanks!

Lindsay

  Lindsay, I've undone this merge.  Please take a look and let me know if there are any further issues that need to be resolved.

  Thank you, Jeff! Everything looks great, I really appreciate it! Is it possible however to now remove the other person as the profile manager for Mary Agnes (Reckhouse) Miller, as this person is likely not even in her tree now? Thank you!

  I don't have the ability to remove the other manager, but in this case, you should be able to do it.  If you go to the actions menu, then click "Manager Options", there should be a little (x) by the person's name, which you can click to remove them.  I think this is dependent on the profile being inside your family group and outside theirs, which appears to be the case for this profile.

  Ralph, I believe I have corrected this.  I disconnected the incorrect parents from Evelyn and attached them to Percy.

  I had a merge take place and it's left me with two sets of parents. I've tried removing one set of incorrect parents and it says that it will split the tree and won't let me change things. I beginning to think I really don't like Geni.

  Carol, I've unmerged your profile from your grandmother and properly merged it where it belonged.

  Hi Jeff!

  I have very similar problem as above.

  Because of similarity of names, someone has assigned incorrect set of parents to my grand-grand....mother Tiina Tiivits (born Sepp) without checking birth dates: https://www.geni.com/people/Tiina-Tiivits/6000000009787698891

  I have added correct set of parents:
  Father Karl Sepp (b. 1812) https://www.geni.com/people/Karl-Sepp/6000000053557417255
  Mother Ann Sepp (b. 1816) https://www.geni.com/people/Ann-Sepp/6000000053557907090

  Those parents have been confirmed by church records. Unfortunatelly I can not remove relationship of incorrect set of parents and ending up with same warning - it would split the tree.

  I would appreciate your help!
  Priit.

  Hi Jeff,

  The person Bertha Kessler Kessler https://www.geni.com/people/Bertha-Kessler/6000000000348246720?from_flash=1&fsession_id=1486701171337&through=6000000000348246668

  is the daughter of Fannie Goldman and Morris Kessler.  I am unable to assign her parents because it is telling me the tree will split (which is what I actual want).

   

  Is that all the information you need --- or more?

  Thanks so much for your help!

  Hi Jeff, I have a problem with this person in my tree and Leanne's tree. We both realised we are not linked. Could you split this tree for us please?

   

  
  I am contacting you about this profile: https://www.geni.com/people/Son-Brannelly/6000000058286841874

  Jeff,

  A lady I was helping sent me an invite to view her tree, and unbeknown to me she used her son's profile to invite me as him and entered my email address. When I followed the link to view her tree it automatically merged me with her and now has her, Patricia Jane Thomson, as my mother. Pls could this be undone as she is not my mother. I am in no way linked to her and this has changed on all trees connected to me. I cannot delete her as my mother as it says it will split the trees, which is exactly what I want to do. 

  Please help a very frustrated genealogist whose tree is spoiled now after she tried to be of kind assistance to someone.

  Michelle Gregory.

  Hello, I met some a branch of my family and we formed a relationship and know mutual family members but is still discovering where on the tree we connect. Is it possible to have this branch unlinked and to stand alone alongside our family until we discover the link?

  Maud is their grandmother but we aren't sure if she is the daughter of my GG Grandfather.

  I have the same problem with Renske Memmens

  https://www.geni.com/people/Renske/6000000013383024606

  two sets of parents, and which one is correct is a bit unclear.

  But everything looks like Memmo Ubbens and Ennecke Sickens are incorrect.

  Memmo Eppens and Fossa Aeldrix Hisse are probably correct

  This is what you get if you add a big Gedcom :)

  A third one:

  https://www.geni.com/people/Tjaaktje/6000000037603158546?through=6000000037603158546

  Her parents are Jan Daniels Dost and Anna Margaretha Tjarks. The Jan Daniels Dost, born in 1721 is incorrect
