Benoît-343 and Benoit-463 appear to represent the same person because: clear duplicate. Benoit is preferred surname spelling for the Acadian Project. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Familles_Acadiennes#B. However, profile isn't in the project, so PMs please discuss. I recommend merging into Benoit-463 for simplicity and for searching. Thanks
