I have a problem similar to someone else's post a couple of years ago.
Last September a curator incorrectly merged a profile (XX) with one on my family tree.
This was with no prior discussion about your merge, but after discussion between us, he agreed with me that this merge was erroneous, labelled the profile of the same name (XX) as a "doppelganger". and messaged me "I unmerged all my work in this area and relinquished management."
So I was surprised and dismayed to see that he has repeated the merge now, again with no discussion or warning to me. I have said that I would be much obliged if he would undo it, as it is clearly wrong.
I have pointed out to him that the offspring of my ancestor XX in Devon, England, cannot possibly have been fathered by his merged ancestor in the USA (who just happens to have the same name as my one. His XX died in 1690, in the USA, while mine had several children born after that date, as late as 1702, in Devon, England. I have records of their baptisms.
I will wish to give him time to consider and respond to me, as I only wrote to him yesterday, but so far his response has been to confirm 1 Smart Match of the merged profiles in a FamilySearch Family Tree. However, that is not really confirmation, as I believe that the Family Tree must be incorrect, and I know from years of research, how easy it is for data to seem to be validated by repeated quotes, when the original source is incorrect.
I don't blame him for his eagerness to make merges, but I am sure that he would wish them to all be correct, or all of our research will be compromised. His profile states "My goal is to connect as many as possible of the 109 billion humans who have ever lived by relational paths. I'm an expert in noticing duplicate profiles so merge hundred of profiles per week."
I would be most grateful if anyone can suggest how I might get this matter sorted out.
