Hi Michele, I was wondering why you set this as an unmerged match. I did a little more research and put a couple of tertiary sources on the Bliss-240 profile including her birth and marriage records. These are from the NEHGS database. I think the merge can safely proceed unless you have some other question. Thank you for making me add those sources.
