    DNA Connections
    It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with James:

    Farmer-3324 and Farmer-2033 appear to represent the same person because: they share a similar birth year, the same mother and many of the same siblings.

    Farmer-2901 and Farmer-2033 appear to represent the same person because: Farmer-2901 and Farmer-2033 appear to represent the same person because: they have the same name. And that's about all there is. The only other item available is the death date, but that is uncertain! The misreading of the death date may have come from a misunderstanding of the DAR file. It refers to his unknown wife's death date in 1780, and it would have been easy to mistake that for James' death date when this otherwise sparse profile was created. There is not one other item of information that conflicts with this merger!

    I'm confused on how to proceed. As the profile manager for Farmer-2033, I've tried to approve this merger because the profile for Farmer-2901 appears to serve no purpose. But the form continues to list this as a rejected match. How do we overcome the rejection?

    Farmer-2901 and Farmer-2033 do not represent the same person because: As I said before, having the same name is not a match. There is NO information that proves they are the same person. Do real research and stop trying to merge just on name alone.

    I did some real research, and could not find any James Farmer who died "about 1780." Which is the only "fact" connected to the profile of Farmer-2901. My research came up with a plausible theory of how this profile came to mistakenly be! (See the previous comment.) How else are we to treat this profile. With no connections, no other dates, no parents, no hints, no sources, no suggestions... what else can we do? As Gary Taylor commented on Farmer-2901, "Merging these two would simply eliminate Farmer-2901." Which is a good thing! If 2901 had any connection or some other valid reason to stay in existence, than I could ignore it. But for the health of our one-family-tree it needs to be pruned! If someone can come up with real sources and different connections, then he can be easily re-entered into WikiTree again. I don't understand the opposition, please help me. I love the collaborative aspect of WikiTree, and look forward to more discussion.

    I'm not trying to be difficult but I don't believe merging for the sake of cleaning up the tree is a good thing. The person who posted the other profile needs to either edit theirs, remove it, do more research on their end or whatever else to correct the matter. If this Farmer is not a relation then we are adding in non family members as well as all their ancestors and descendants.

    I sent a private message to the original creator of Farmer-2901 requesting more info. Unfortunately, she has not had any contributions to WikiTree for over a year. Since she has not responded to either of the previous merge proposals, I don't know if we will hear from her, but I wanted to try. Thomas, I would like more detail about what you mean when you said, "If this Farmer is not a relation then we are adding in non family members as well as all their ancestors and descendants." Especially considering that Farmer-2901 has no descendants and no ancestors. In fact, he is "unconnected." If he had any descendants or ancestors at all, we would not be having this discussion.

    As the profile manager for Farmer-2033, I would have no quarrel with a merger. But looking at this profile for Farmer-2901 leaves me wondering how a profile like this is created--with no birth date or sources and an uncertain death year. Merging these two would simply eliminate Farmer-2901. Can anyone explain the creation of Farmer-2901?

    Farmer-2033 and Farmer-2901 do not represent the same person because: More information needed. Date of death differs by 20 years and no other information matches.

    Farmer-3036 and Farmer-2033 appear to represent the same person because: They have the same parents. And before the merge of Marlin "Billy" Farmer (Farmer-2900) into Martin "Billy" Farmer (Farmer-2633 they were their fathers! So, a son in common too. The only difference is the birth year, which needs to be researched.
