Heather Campbell (1911-2004) is showing siblings only from her father. She should show three siblings from her mother (two from marriages and one not). They all show on the mother's article and descendants page. Do I need to repeat endless cycles of republishing or is there a simpler answer? -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 08:07, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
