Hi Karen, there are too many coincidences but also a few dissilarities. Such as siblings. This merge should probably have been added as an unmerged match and not rejected outright. I also adopted this profile and am not familiar with the history of this family.

Hi, I'd like to know why the merge with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Helm-350 was rejected. Might it be that they are twins? Year and place of birth is too much of a coincindence not to be ingored. Sincerely, Philip van der Walt-440
