Florence Ocea McMann is my birth mother so these folks are my direct ancestors. Please let me know how to fix this so Florence doesn't appear to be a half sibling with herself and her full sister Irene. Thanks!
Thanks for leaving this comment.
Florence appears to be a half sibling with herself is because there are two profiles for her. If McMann-288 and McMann-10 are merged the problem will be solved.
This profile includes these statements: "This is my birth mother." "This is me." They are confusing. It is better to write something like "Florence is the mother of Shari (Gross) Evans."
Your comment names Florence's sisters, but the privacy levels for their profiles don't allow the rest of us to see them. If they are deceased, and you're the profile manager for them, I recommend that you change the privacy level on their profiles to "Open" so your comment will make more sense.
Please let me know if you don't understand, or if I can help.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m kind of new at editing things and am making mistakes as I didn’t realize some things don’t show up to everyone. Part of my original issue is that I was given the exact same name as my maternal grandmother and originally registered (5 years ago) with that name, then forgot that our names were the same and really messed up stuff. I ended up changing my registration name to my legal adopted name, but some of my earlier errors are returning to bite me. I’m not the profile manager for Erma and Mary Belle, the half sisters of my birth mother Florence McMann. How do we fix this? Sorry to trouble you so much, and many thanks for your understanding and assistance.
