Answer 1

Hi, Robin, Isham is my 4G uncle; I descend from his sister Mary (Sutton-15350). Would love to chat with you!

Comments

I have Isham's sister and brother both on Ancestry.  I am going to go this summer to visit Isham's grave there are a lot of history with this family

---

There are 2 profiles for Isham Lawson, i tried to merge the 2, but i may not have done it correctly Lawson-13075 Lawson-2228 can you help plez

---

That sounds fantastic! Hope you have a great trip!

---

I see that the merge was rejected. I have proposed the merge again, but since I am not the manager of either profile, I can only propose it, not actually do it. I think that both of the fathers, James Lawson-13399 and -10537 will also need to be merged, and the two Nancy Croleys as well - Croley-178 and  -20. Hopefully it will go through this time. Your profile is quite good; I hope this will work! If you can add more sources, that will help a lot.

---

i followed your instructions Isham then did Croley-178 with merge

James Lawson, Sr

B:1761 Cork, Cork, Ireland D:19 Jul 1869 Whitley County, Kentucky, had several wives

---

I noticed that Lawson-660, one of the Jameses, is an orphaned profile - you should adopt it, as it will make it easier to do a merge.

---

I am not understanding how to adopt a profile? i viewed Lawson-13399 and Lawson-660, one of the Jameses, is an orphaned profile this is the same James Lawson sometimes the names was not spelled correctly and would spell how the name sounds can you view to see if the merge was done plez

---

I am yet seeing 2 profiles for Isham Lawson I have sent message to managed by Mark Stockton, but not sure if he has been on WT to view.

---

If it is an orphaned profile, right next to where it says "No Profile Manager," there is a link that says "Adopt this profile."

Looks like Lawson-13399 and Lawson-660 have not been merged. Both have sources and narrative which you probably should check over before they are merged, so that you can keep the parts that are useful.

---

"No Profile Manager," there is a link that says "Adopt this profile."  Can you help, i am seeing nothing that reads

---

It's immediately below his death date.

---

I am searching for death date this is what i am reading about/uncertain but non-living exact/certain
before this date after this date still living

there is no word says adopt

---

"No Profile Manager," I have went back time and time again not finding this

---

If you see those death date choices, you are in the edit screen. Save out of it, then look at the regular profile, saved version.

---

this is the profile so yet i am not finding anything that reads adopt James Lawson's Profile

I think i find the adopt, but it was not found under the death date i find adopt all the way to the bottom of the page, and now i am not seeing can you pal a leeeesz look on your end to see i did the adopt and can you help me to see where to find this for my better understanding

---

Yes, it looks like you successfully adopted Lawson-660!

I believe that you can now proceed with a merge.
