Darrell, If they are the same person you can merge them.  Go to edit - then then on the right side scroll down beneath your listing of family members you will find merge options - click on it and you will find boxes to put the two profiles formatted Geoffrion-7 in the first and Geoffrion-10 in the second - beneath that click on merge and you will have one profile.  We don't have a delete option. This works better. If you need help just add a comment here.

They are two different people but i could still merge them. They are at the end of a line. Then I could reenter second person and continue.  Think that might work?

You ended up merging Geoffrion-10 into Geoffrion-7 and then deleting Geoffrion-7? That caused dead-ends on both profiles and confusing histories. It's very important not to delete except in extreme cases where privacy needs to be protected, e.g. if personal information about a child under 13 was added.
