someone has to have more than one person in their tree to even think about merging with someone else's tree, if not a person can deleat that merge and keep their own family instead of everyone else's family.

Bjørn P. Brox You have access to remove profile managers on profiles within your own family group if they are not within the family group of the profile them self. There is an x on those users in the manager options on the profile.
As a first step you, if not a Pro user, need to ask a collaborator which is a Pro user or a curator as me to help you to cut the wrong connection. -
Jason Tucker Someone merged incorrectly with my family tree. How do I fix this? And why can just anyone merge with my tree?

Jeff, Geni Curator Jason, can you identify the profile that was merged incorrectly? We can then investigate it and undo the merge as needed.

Jeff, Geni Curator Jason, That profile has not been merged. It looks like that profile was added manually by Thomas Kanara. If you have an issue with that ancestry, I suggest you start a discussion or message Thomas. If it's invalid, we can disconnect it and if it's a common error we can add notes to prevent the same error from repeating in the future.
Cached history shows this FamilySearch tree had that data, though it has been changed recently: https://familysearch.org/tree/person/9MZJ-5WC/details
As for why people are allowed to merge or build - it's a collaborative tree. It's not "my tree", but a shared one where descendants work together. https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree/learn-more You seem familiar with this process as you've made merges yourself on Pvt. Robert Milton Letson. But mistakes can happen and we just work to fix them and try not to repeat them.
