I have merged Fite-175 into Fite-119. Of course now there are a great many duplicate profiles among the children -- not all, but quite a few. I started with George Fite, attempting to merge Fite-173 into Fite- 117. WikiTree just kept telling me that the two profiles were already connected in a proposed merge, but would not let me complete the merge.
Perhaps I need to be placed on the trusted list for Fite-173. If you would take care of that I will start back on these merges tomorrow. I still have at least 9 more merges after the Fites are finished and I would like to get as much done tomorrow as I can.
Thanks, Judy
