Bias-380 and Bias-97 appear to represent the same person because: These two individuals represent the same person, with birth and death dates coinciding and the same spouse.

Roy - I am researching my Bias family. The oldest found is James BYAS who immigrated as a child from Ireland. We know the family married into a small NA clan but I have been unable to find that link. My dad and his siblings spoke of their GM wearing traditional dress. She was evidently a medicine woman. Could these folks be part of your tree? Thanks.
