Requesting help/review of a particular profile and links to children.

Question

Could I get some help?  Could someone look at the children of George Julius Lyman (Lyman-1857) and tell me why, when looking at the children's profiles individually, many of the connections child-to-child indicate half brothers or sisters?  They all seem to have the same parents linked.  Thank-you.

Answer 1

Hi Michael. Most of the children have mother Pamelia J. (Taylor) Lyman with WikiTree ID Taylor-86677. But Harriet has mother Pamela (Taylor) Lyman with ID Taylor-76710 (not managed by you). These two profiles may be duplicates requiring merging, but further investigation is needed first.

Answer 2

Sarah (Lyman-2060) and Harriet (Lyman-1856) have different mothers: Harriet's is Taylor-76710, Sarah's is Taylor-86677.

Answer 3

I have not looked into this closely, but what I have observed is:  One of the children, Harriet = Lyman-1856, has Taylor-76710 listed as mother, while the other children have Taylor-86677 listed as their mother.  In Harriet's case, her mother's first name is Pamela, and for the other children, the mother's name is Pamelia.  I wondered why George Julius Lyman did not have two wives listed, but apparently Pamela Taylor has not been connected to him.  Hope this helps.
