To whom it may concern,

Not sure who is managing this profile or the PPP disposition of this profile but if possible I would like to work on it and others in the Sargent line? Michaelsen-74

Sargent-250 and Sargent-1416 appear to represent the same person because: Sargent-1416 clearly needs to go away. It was an 'attempt' to be Sargent-250. Please help our clean-up of erroneous profiles by approving then executing the merge. Thanks for your help.

Sargant-9 and Sargent-250 appear to represent the same person because: These appear to be duplicates, but the maternal lineage needs to be worked out first.
