Bowen-2165 and Bowen-754 appear to represent the same person because: Birthdates and mother's names match.

Bowen-2065 and Bowen-754 appear to represent the same person because: they have the same DOB and DOD, Bowen 754 has more family info

but I see that Bowen-2065 has some sources that need to be carried over.
