So, thanks to Alec's wonderful Database Errors applet, I was able to identify some profiles with issues, and lo and behold, one jumped out that has apparently been merged or added to at one time - and is now in need of some help.
I noted the errors in her bio, but what I'm most concerned with is the following:
She has a number of children that are in her profile that might not be hers. I don't want to just unnecessarily orphan them without finding them a proper home. There appear to be two families that these seem to come from. Hers and another "George Smith" family.
George Washington Smith Jr. (
http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Smith-60465) and Mary Polly Fulkerson appear to have had about 12 kids, somewhere along the lines of what I've added to the biography write-up in the profile. There's some variance on the exact dates and order of the kids, but the write-up there is at least in the ballpark. It doesn't currently match the kids that are attached to the profile.
George Smith (
http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Smith-10215) and Jerusha (maiden name unknown) were married around the same timeframe, possibly slightly earlier, and had several kids according to the accounts I read. George also married a Mary, or a woman with the last name Mary (accounts of this seem to vary) and had several more children. Total of around 6-ish with Mary (Eli, Elizabeth, Nancy, James, Jerusha, Levy) and 5-ish with Jerusha (George, Rebecca, Dorcas Dobitha, Catherine/Catey, Milly).
I suspect I just need to create a wife Jerusha and wife Mary and realign the right kids with the right family, but figured I'd throw this out for assistance because at the moment, there's a lot out there to digest and I don't want to make matters worse. Thanks for any help or light you might be able to shine on the situation. And if you have any source material that clarifies things, I would be most grateful.
