Question

Can anyone please confirm if Blanch-273 has been merged with Blanch-36.   If so, why can I still view a profile for Blanch-273?  Thanks

Answer 1

Hi Janette. You can still follow the link

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blanch-273

but it will actually take you to

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blanch-36

You can see this because Blanch–36 appears at the top right of the profile. It shows that the merge has indeed been completed.

The URL of a merged away profile is always redirected in this way to the remaining profile. See

Answer 2

It must have been; all I can see is Blanch-36.  Have you refreshed your page (F5 usually does it)?
