I have just adopted Joseph Marks's profile and would like to resolve the problem of this genealogically two-headed son!
I'm open to ideas from PMs of both Marks-1146 and Marks-745. I realize that most of these mixups are the result of old GEDcom imports, so not at all finding fault with current PMs. I'm sure we'd all like to get this straightened out.
