Thank you for your comment. I am new to Wikitree and unsure what to do. I have contacted the owner of this profile in mid-November to try and link our trees as we do seem to have the same people. This man is my Great Great Grandfather. Some of the information is different and I was hoping for more clarification from her but as yet have had no reply. What will happen when they merge? Will one over-write the other or will all information be kept? Will we both have access to the profile? Your guidence would be appreciated. Regards, Leanne Denz
There was an earlier entry Ferguson-4091 that seems to be the same person ; once all managers have approved then the last one to approve will be offered the button to finalize the merge
