McKinney-1557 and McInnish-8 mess needs a real geneologist

Question

I stumbled on this one a while back and set a merge but one of the managers just took a look and threw up his or her hands. It needs a lot of TLC to untangle and merge a plethora of offspring and it's a real project for somebody who can handle a real project.

As far as I know it's not one of my lines...

I added the arborists tag to get. Attention of the project that deals with -- among other things -- complicated merges.

Answer 1

I think the issue starts with Mary,the mother is the same, but they have different fathers. That would need sorting first I believe.

Comments

I concur.

Answer 2

I'd start with the deaths.  If one died in Tennessee and one died in Mississippi, on two different dates, then we have two different men trying to claim bits of the same life.  What's the evidence that either of the deceaseds was ever in Surry County?
