Merge of 3 profiles

Question

Ok, so I am encountering this issue with the Measels/Measells/Mizell line. There are three profiles that need to be merged because they are ALL the same person. One individual is profile manager to two of them and I am the profile manager of the third. The profiles are Measells-5, Measels-12, and Mizell-146. I would love it if someone would review these three profiles and get them merged. In fact, this person is listed as his own father and his own brother. This just needs straightened out. Thank you much.

P.S. this is not the first time i have brought up this issue

Do this, follow them back, through the father,find the original name, use that as a base. You can do it.

have done that the problem is the other profile manager just either has not been on or does not want to merge them so I am trying to find someone that can or will just do it because i cant...i have tried

Answer 1

Do you know which profile has the correct name?

What I'd do is propose a merge for the two wrong name profiles first and after that, propose a merge with the new profile with the profile with the right name. 

Take Tom's advice if you don't know which is correct.

DO NOT do this it creates a chain of redirects. Identify the final profile and merge all into it. Redirects hurt our google rankings and make it hard for cousins to find profiles.

The only difference in the names is the minor dispute of whether or not the man is a Jr or a III. I am not trying to redirect I am trying to get Christie Measells to merge them!

Redirects get created with every merge to preserve any links to the old profile. That's why merge order becomes important. A into B then B into C is not nearly as good as A into C then B into C. Even though the apparent outcome is the same.
