Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Might I trouble a kind librarian to correct the entry for One Name, Two Lives please? The book has been incorrectly assigned to Royall Tyler, the ancestor of the real author, the Royall Tyler who was born in 1936, and who has a Goodreads profile, but whose name I cannot get to appear in this message. Proof may be found in the author's list of his books here:

Many thanks in advance!

It's always very tricky to get 2 author names that are very similar to show up.

Done.

Thank you! At least on my shelf, the book is now written by both the ancestor Royall Tyler and the descendant--it wouldn't be possible to remove the ancestor?
If you could also get the date of publication to show up--it's currently showing as "unknown"--I would be hugely grateful!
Many thanks in advance.

With apologies for a repeat request: might I trouble a kind librarian to remove the ancestor Royall Tyler, still listed as the author of One Name, Two Lives? I'd also be grateful if you could add a date of first publication to the entry, so that it doesn't show up on my shelves as "unknown".
Many thanks in advance!

From the book description: Here are two autobiographical memoirs: "Setting Sail" by Royall Tyler (1884-1953) and "Blind Turtle Swims the Sea" by his grandson Royall Tyler
So both authors should be attached to this book, as both have contributed to it.

Original publication date added.

Thank you for your help! It's just that the wrong Royall Tyler is listed as first author (Royall Tyler lived 1757-1826). As you point out in your kind reply, the Royall Tyler who is the author of "Setting Sail" lived a full century later (1884-1953).
Many thanks for adding the date of first publication!

Thanks for including the years they lived. I guess mentioning descendant and ancestor was not specific enough. I've moved the book to a new (third) Royall Tyler profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I'll check back tomorrow to see if any of the books on the 'default' Royall Tyler profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... actually belong to one of the other authors. (Default means that any book that is automatically imported by GR will end up on that profile).
ETA: This turned out to be less work than expected. I think all books are now on the right Royall Tyler profile.

Thank you so much for rectifying all this! I've just checked and--thanks to you--all books are now on the right Royall Tyler profile.
