I''m confused. The merge feature forces the newest ID into the oldest? When I get it wrong the program directs which way to merge. And because I'm not the PM, I cannot change LNAB
Direction of a merge:
One profile is merged into another. It's not that the two profiles are combined into a new, third profile. Therefore, the "direction" of a merge matters.
We always merge a new duplicate into the original, first profile.
The only exception is when the original profile had an incorrect Last Name at Birth. The Last Name at Birth forms part of the WikiTree ID, e.g. Franklin-1.
So I should not have done that merge because I cannot change LNAB.
No more merges for me.
