You guys are totally unreliable. Example: I just saw a smart match for me in which you state that my 10 times great grandmother was born in 1925.  How stupid can you be????  A 10 times great grandparent would have been born in the 1600s.  Get real.  Here it is:

Betty May Johnson

10th great grandmother

Birth: 9/25/1925Death: 8/22/1983

  Robert,

  I agree that your 9th great-grandfather Richard Sharpe's (https://www.geni.com/people/Richard-Sharpe/6000000002979913068) mother was not born in 1925.  Unfortunately it seems that somebody thought so entered it on Geni that way and also many trees on MyHeritage and other sites have those parents with those dates set that way for his parents.

  The smart match is based on that.  So this SmartMatch is actually helping make the tree better because you were able to point out something that now with your help we have made better on the tree on Geni.  Thank you!

  Do you know who your 9th great-grandfather Richard Sharpe's parents actually were?  This can be corrected on Geni.  I have put a curator note in Richard's profile to be careful of adding incorrect parents of Richard found elsewhere.  If you know Richard's actual parents we can firm this up even better.  Feel free to start a discussion on the Richard's profile and others may be able to work with you to research this. I"m going to disconnected William and Betty born in the 1920s as his parents since there isn't really a lot in those profiles...they likely were real people born in the 1920s but they seem to have been attached in the wrong spot.
