Annie - I've detached Morgan-9286, which is a project-protected profile, so hopefully he won't get re-attached. But should this profile be project-protected also? Let me know if you think it should & I can take care of doing that.

Cheers, Liz

Mary seems to have picked up an extra husband named William Morgan. Do you know which one is correct?
posted by [Living Emmons]
The extra William Morgan 1740-1800 (Son of Thomas Morgan and Johanna) needs to be removed as her husband. It has been proven that he was not her husband. I will remove the extra William Morgan as long as no one has any objections to me doing that.

Reading through the comments on this profile and on the profile for the "not-her-husband" William Morgan (Morgan-9286), it seems that the intent was to detach these profiles several months ago (she married a different William Morgan).

I'll go ahead and do that now.

DB- Suggestions Review indicates this file may have erroneous attachment for spouse Charles Morgan-17957. Morgan-17957 is also attached as son (this is correct).

As this is connected to "Protected Profile Morgan-5601" someone from this group should take care of the corrections. 1. Mary Duncan was married to William Morgan-5601 2. Son Charles Morgan-17957 was married to Susannah Doggett

Other suggestions can be reviewed by going to Menu - Surname then Suggestions. Thank you for your assistance in making corrections.
