Agnew-196 and Agnew-88 appear to represent the same person because: Both men have the same name, same dates of birth and death. They are duplicates and should be merged.

Agnew-88 and Agnew-196 do not represent the same person because: Samuel White Agnew has been incorrectly attached as the son of Mary Dodson-162. Mary Dodson-162 married James Agnew (ca. 1775-1851) and Mary did have a son she named Samuel Agnew (no middle name). This Samuel Agnew was also born the 1st of September 1816 and died the 4th Jan. 1898 in Marion County, Florida. Before a merger can take place the parents for Samuel Agnew-196 need to be removed as they are the incorrect parents.

Loretta,

It would have been nice if you had contacted me before removing Samuel White Agnew as a son of Melinda Dodson-168 Agnew. Melinda's estate records which are cited in her biography list her children as found in her estate records and these children include Samuel W. Agnew. I have been away from home due to a family emergency and just returned. I will be working on the biography for Samuel White Agnew. If you have sources to documents which prove Melinda Dodson Agnew is not his mother please post them. Thank you.

I sincerely apologize. When I located Agnew-88 this is what I saw. He was imported by Joe Sneed in 2011 as White Agnew, no sources, no documentation. Then 8 years later samuel was added as his first name and dob and dod were set to 1816 and 1873 respectively. Shortly after this Samuel Agnew was added as his father. Still no sources or documentation on his profile that I could find. Another year goes by and Melinda Dodson is set as his mother. Last week he showed up and I "presumed" he was the same person I had been working on Samuel Agnew-196. It looked like a good match. Except for parents. Again, Agnew-88 was blank. I proposed a merge which was done without double checking the parents, for that , I do sincerely apologize. My question is, if Mary and Samuel are removed, can the merge move forward? And since you are the PM for Mary Dodson, will you remove her as the mother of Agnew-196. I feel like I have just recited Who's on First?  :) Would you mind double checking the wives and children of Agnew-196 (he never stayed single for very long...)?

Loretta, I adopted the profile for James Agnew, husband of Mary Dodson (Polly) Agnew and as profile manager of both profiles I removed Agfnew-196 as a son and have proposed the merge of Agnew-88 and Agnew-196. I also created a profile for the correct Samuel Agnew-1937 who is the son of James Agnew and Mary Dodson-162 Agnew. The Dodson family was like alot of families at the time where siblings married and each sibling had children and gave their children the same names. It makes keeping them straight very difficult - like herding cats!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Agnew-196 and Agnew-88 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Mags,

I'm still working with the GRIP Challenge and I found another duplicate of Mr Samuel Agnew. Please take a look at these two and see if they should be merged. :) Thanks, Loretta

Agnew-196 and Agnew-88 are not ready to be merged because: So many discrepancies for this to be a match. But can see where some information may be wrong. More research needed. Thanks, Mags
