Can these two Elliot profiles be merged?

Question

I came across these searching for my own Thomas Elliot to add from my GedCom ...for all I know these could be him but there's no data and no bio.

Thomas Elliott - Elliott-13980 managed by Dominic Elliott

Thomas Elliott - Elliott-13982 managed by Dominic Elliott

Another complication is:

Only the Trusted List can access the following:

• Thomas's formal name
• biography
• family tree

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I don't know how to handle this but I could use one for my Thomas Elliot?

Answer 1

The Profile manager has not been active the profiles were created in 2019.  I proposed a merge and will start an Unresponsive Manager process, so in a week or so, the Unresponsive PM can be filed.  If the PM does not respond, the profiles may be deleted since they are private. With no visible dates or date ranges, it seems that there are no dates.

Answer 2

You can start a conversation with the profile manager to find out. DM them, explaining who you are searching for, and ask if their Thomas is possibly a match.

With this kind of privacy level you can't assume its an empty profile. You just can't see the details.

I think Lorraine's reference to "DM" means that.you should send a private message to the profile manager, using the private message link on their profile.

If it turns out that one of these profiles is "your" Thomas Elliott, ask to be added to the trusted list.

The profile manager has not edited since 2019. I hope they respond to you. If not, see the Help page on Unresponsive Profile Managers for advice on what you can do next.

Thanks Ellen, that is what I meant. I should keep in mind that not everyone is familiar with the popular acronyms!
