Demarest-300 and Marets-2 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. Thanks!

Des Marets-6 and Marets-2 appear to represent the same person because: brothers with same name & same wife
Dad was born in 1415. Could you change the privacy level please? (Adding a birth year guess of 1436 would do it automatically.) Also, do you know if he died young? The profile for his brother of the same name shows a birth year of 1450 (they have the same mother too).
Thanks! Liz
