I usually stay in the background but it seems most of you are not getting the point. The only place their is a problem is when you click on the leaf hints. Further it only seems to be for leaves that have multiple hints. Since we can't see what these hints are there is no clue as to what part of Ancestry's database is causing the problem. I suspect that it is the recent addition of birth records that came up as an error and would not allow a merge. You can tell us what to do to our systems but we can't fix Ancestries problem no matter what we do.
