William Tarlton Taylor 1759-1811 and only wife Elizabeth Hampton had 10 children.  When I started adding their children there were 2 already posted.  I added the other 8 and now the first 2 appear as half-siblings when they should be full.  I don't know how to correct this.

Best answer

The mother for two of the children is Hampton-869 and the other eight children have Hampton-6810 as the mother. This is causing the "Half Sibling" situation. 

The two profiles need to be compared and the different information reconciled and possibly merged. Or you may have to change the mother on some of the profiles to reflect which Elizabeth Hampton profile is the correct mother. 

So there is two steps

  1. Are the profiles duplicates. Merge if correct
  2. If the profiles are not duplicates then identify the profile for the mother and ensure every child is attached to correct mother.
